We've learned today that the Royal Orphan that we now call our king doesn't have an alarm clock. Instead he is awoken each morning to the sound of a man biting on the tail of a cat, or as he calls it his favourite bagpipe player.

This takes place at the unearthly hour of 9:00am. No wonder the bloody Royals live so long if they don't wake up until the rush hour is over. You have to wonder if he stays up until 2 in the morning playing Doom or some other video game so he gets his full 7 hours in.
