Five-Months Boys' Trip
16 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Philip is off on his royal tour to explore the remotest parts of the Commonwealth and to open the Olympics.

A speech is made where all the boys are together drinking and making merry. Normally when the Queen is there they are on their best behaviour. But the waitresses serve the loud men and some of the men wrap their arms around the waitresses' waists and have them sit on their lap. The speech told by one man says that 90 percent of the men on board are married and what happens on boards stays on board.

The men are wild and have a beard-growing contest. The guys are lined up horizontally at the sinks and one guy takes off the towel and walks away completely nude saying nothing you haven't seen before. One man says now we can't see and the men laugh.

Philip noticed one reporter who is attractive eyeing him and talks to his private secretary saying have you noticed the way she was looking at me? He allows her to interview him and as she is bending over gives a knowing look to his secretary while checking her out. He gets angry when she asks personal questions about his Nazi sisters and his family.

The private secretary's wife is looking to divorce but the lawyer says there must be evidence. She approaches one of the waitresses and wants to know what happens in there. The waitress eventually pities her and tells her that she heard her husband has been with other women. The waitress steals a letter from Mr. Parker, the secretary and gives it to Mrs. Parker. It has evidence that says men are having sex with prostitutes in every port.

The Queen and prince are to make a Christmas speech one after the other as the Queen's advisors have heard about the rumours of Mrs. Parker looking for divorce. They don't want the same rumours circling around Philip and the Queen.
