"Working and playing hard is fun as long as it's rewarding" - Prince Edward, on giving up his TV company job to help the Queen with her jubilee

Nobody owes me a living

Work is a fine silver trophy

Life's for the taking, not giving

I'm speaking here also for Sophie

The Queen (as I've found) is my mother

And frankly an excellent boss

Our business is like any other

Although we won't trade at a loss

Of course we are pure as the drivel

We certainly shan't be beholden

The list of our duties is civil

And our new opportunities golden

Myself and the Countess are hardened

And wait for her call or her beck

Beg pardon? We've always been ardent

But stick one more nought on your cheque
