Now that it is impossible for magazines not to have something about William and Kate on the front cover, it is surely time to take Darwin’s little known royalty out of mothballs . Our longtime resident Queen Mother, who graced the Pianola Palace in Smith Street, passed away and is undoubtedly in Valhalla, mixing with Queen Victoria and Mr Brown .

In Darwin political circles today we are told there is a person known as “ The Princess” , of regal bearing, who sweeps through the corridors of power , courtiers and lackeys bending their arthritic knees and bobbing their balding noggins in due homage . A free packet of French lettuce seeds to the first person to let us know who this titled person is and why she has been entered in Debrett’s.
