Even the ribbon cutting involves entitlement. A friend worked for Tata steel in Wales and Clarence House got in touch to say Charles and Camilla would like to visit to show support. Fair enough. Oh, and Charles would like to come in his special train. Er, OK... Then his people come out for a look and say the station is too far from the plant and that they like to see the furnaces but they rather not wear the safety clothing. Tata ended up having pay for, and build a temporary station and a clear protective clear barrier so they could be photographed by the furnaces without safety gear on.
