Widow Shergar, the young and beautiful princess of Mustapha ****, lived in Persia. One day, walking along the river bank, she came across this prince who was about to throw himself into the river. "Oh" he moaned "I'll never be king, My mum has drunk the elixir of life she bought from Old Boots the Alchemist. Shergar, who had a heart of gold, took pity on the prince, saying "You are a king in my eyes and I'll be your queen." and looked after him and his two sons by an earlier, failed marriage for ever after.

Answer 15

An insulting reference. Shergar was a horse. Camilla has quite a long face - a horse has a long face, thus the connection.

Answer 16

Shergar is a horse and Camilla "beautiful features" are compared to Shergar.  However, personally I think horses are much better looking than Camilla.  

Anyway, if Charles like to have a "horse" for a wife, then, let him be.  He likes to saddle a horsey wife.
