Hi,

Well I had to have a good laugh today - and this was it!!!
They should make this into a bad movie - something like "Scary Movie" only call it "Idiots Movie"...  Paris Hilton could play Hitler (after all she's startng to grow a mustace!!) and Pauly Shore as Wallis (he needs the work!)....
OK, well I told you it was called "Idiots Movie" - what else can I say....

You can scream now!!

The duke with Charles Chaplin. He looks very...hmm unconfortable (or surprised!)

Is one of them one of the Furnesses? Charlie Chaplin had a dinner party for the Prince of Wales in Biarritz one evening. Thelma Furness introduced Charlie to the Prince of Wales when they were all vacationing in France. They were guests of Lord & Lady Auckland. Charlie would also have tea with the Duke of Connaught through mutual friends at Cap Ferrat.

I think the one beside Charlie could be Thelma and not the other one.  ;)

Whoops. Meant to say one of the Furnesses not to indicate one of the women at the table. The one on the right obviously isn't one of them.

And perhaps David looks uncomfortable because he just remembered that he had an affair with Chaplin's 1st wife (albeit after they were divorced) Mildred Harris in 1920 or 1921.  :)
