UTC has never shown any signs of being a royalist in the past.
To be more precise, UTC has never shown any interest whatsoever in the royal family before, but a sudden passion was kindled recently when he learned that the forthcoming royal wedding was being viewed by many publicans as an opportunity to apply for extended opening hours.
The wedding, which happens on May 19, has led the British Beer & Pub Association to demand longer opening hours. UTC was unsurprisingly all for the move.
“It’ll be a lovely day for Harry and Camilla or Kate or whatever her name is,” he said, “and we should all be able to celebrate with them.” Hear, hear.
