Chris Taylor is this month’s winner of R500 sponsored by Oakleigh Life, for his funny, true-life story!
As a young Durban boy, I got a job on a South African vessel to the UN. On arrival, I contacted an ex-Durban friend in London. He invited me to a “do” in London.

After pitching up, he introduced me to an English princess (the younger sister to Queen Elizabeth). She and I ate and danced together and somehow clicked. After some time, she said had to go home. I got a taxi, which took us to Buckingham Palace.
I got out with her and entered the palace. At the foot of the stairs, she asked me to carry her up. I picked her up and started the climb.
All of a sudden, there was a shout from further up: “Put my daughter down, Sir!” A direct order from the King of England! I dropped her and fl ed the palace.
