He flew a helicopter in the South Atlantic while Galtieri was firing rockets at him but "adverse weather conditions", that's out of the question!

what an excuse he most likely had a round of golf planned with weather being dry or had a few to many last night. He could have been up on a train in quick time. He won't be interested in all the college and students time wasted.

Perhaps one of his Libyan mates has called him up and wants his help smuggling cash out of the country.

I get the impression that the royals are not welcomed around here. Quite right. The queen is a traitor who signed away her/our sovereignty to the EUSSR and broke her coronation promise.
She is leader of the Armed Forces yet sees them decimated without comment, leaving us at risk. She is the head of our Christian church yet sees it undermined at every opportunity in favour of an alien, anti-Christian faith.
Muslems recently prayed both inside and outside Westminster Abbey without comment. Can you imagine a group of Christians praying within the grounds of a Mosque? There would be riots and condemnation in the media. Anyway, the Windsors are from German stock so why expect loyalty?
