I'm no monarchist, but I do feel very chuffed for Richard.  And he looks grand.

Looks very ambassadorial (if that is a real word)

I'd give almost anything to see him play live dressed like that.

If the Queen has all his albums what do you think is her favorite  track?

"I've got no right to have it all"     (The Old Kit Bag)?

Any other suggestions?
