Prince Charles vs. McDonald’s

In this corner… we have His Royal Highness, Charles, the Prince of Wales: A 58-year-old father of two who likes to grow his own organic vegetables. And, in this corner, it’s the MacDaddy of all fast-food giants, home of the clown bearing its name, and a host of other greasy (yet yummy) menu options–McDonald’s. Ding! Ding!

It’s been a busy week for Britain’s royal family and quite an emotional roller coaster ride for Prince William and Prince Harry. Whenever I hear news relating to Diana, Princess of Wales I am immediately taken back to the afternoon of August 31, 1997 when I heard the news that rocked the world and changed their lives forever.
