English In Use - 'His Royal Dryness'

Details
Parent Category: English in Use
Written by Patrick O'Connor

The English are often said to possess a dry sense of humour and this is evident in The Sun newspaper's headline on a story alleging that Prince Harry has been banned from pubs by army top brass so that he can concentrate on his helicopter training. The headline reads: 'His Royal Dryness', a play on 'His Royal Highness'. Dry as in not drinking. Get it!
