Paul Simon said it best.
“I never worry / Why should I? / It’s all gonna fade”
Not only fade, but change, as well.
Check this story out from CNN.com
LONDON, England -- Britain's Princess Eugenie has been reprimanded by her school after being caught frolicking naked on college grounds, it was reported Saturday.
The 18-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, was apprehended for her involvement in end of term "high jinks" at the exclusive Marlborough College, west of London, the UK Press Associated said.
A royal source told the Press Association: "It was nothing more than high jinks at the end of term in May. A group of them were reprimanded and that's the end of the matter."
The tabloid Sun newspaper reported that a college staff member was woken by playful shrieks and found several young women dancing around without clothes.
It said there was no suggestion boys were present or that drugs were involved but claimed a pupil said the students had been drinking.
Princess Eugenie, the sixth in line to the British throne, is studying art, history of art and English at the $46,000-a-year college, PA said.
I love this story on several levels.
First (and let’s just get it out of the way), I’m a man, so I naturally gravitate towards pretty much anything that involves naked women.
Second, I love England. Only the British can still use the word “frolick” and not make it sound like they’re trapped inside Mr. Peabody and Sherman’s Wayback Machine.
But, third, and most delightful, no matter how much tradition tries to hang on like grim death to “traditional” ways, young people put affectionate dents in tradition without damaging or destroying the foundations.
As in, can you imagine for a single second, Prince Charles “frolicking?”
Let alone naked?
And don’t even bother thinking about the Queen that way.
I mean, come on.
And..ewwwwww.
But, clearly, Eugenie has, in one glorious moment of free spiritedness, dropkicked the monarchy right out of the dark ages and into the new millennium (and a mere eight years into it, to boot.)
Stuffy, prim, proper, yawn snooze boring until you want to scream (and let’s face it, ultimately hypocritical) royal behavior is officially put on notice.
And the young princess couldn’t have picked a better method if she had meant to.
Because naked is not only fun (come on, admit it….)
But it very clearly makes it obvious that something is missing from this member of the royal family.
That stick they all seem to have up their butts.
