The Royal Wedding and the historic Goring Hotel, London

The Royal Wedding was the spectacular and memorable event that we all expected it to be.  Prince William and Kate were the undoubted and assured stars of the show on a day we'll all lovingly remember. 

There was, however, another quiet star keeping a discreet distance, but very much a part of this marvellous event.  It was The Goring Hotel, of course, which throughout its century of service has been an integral element in many historic royal occasions, including deaths, births and marriages.   Well accustomed to foreign royalty, international glitteratti and periodic visits from its royal neighbours, The Goring has learnt to take all the pomp and circumstance in its stride.

This time, The Goring welcomed the Middleton family and their friends.   The entire hotel was fully booked for the exclusive group and it will always be remembered as the place Kate spent her last night with her family before her marriage.
 
If you are visiting London and fancy staying at an hotel where not only will you be treated like royalty, but you may very well encounter them, then The Goring will be the first you will choose  -  and rightly so.

The luxury 5-star Goring Hotel where the Middleton family stayed for the Royal Wedding.

Do you know someone who suffers from a priority complex ? Escape with a deal from Hyde Park hotels

They say a bore is someone who talks when you wish him to listen.  I know such a guy, and every time I have to encounter him I am struck with the feeling that the daily struggle for existence may not just be worth it. 

The truth is that some people are just so full of themselves that they are barely aware  -  or are completely unaware  -  of the possibility that you might imagine yourself to be possessed of feelings that your opinions, your self-esteem, your view of your place in the world may be equal to and every bit as valid as theirs.

This particular individual has such an unshakeable belief in his own importance, and his natural right to have whatever there is to be had without considering anybody else, that I have recently taken to the view that he is suffering from a priority complex.  You know the type of thing  -  someone leaves a bottle of wine in as a thank you for the staff, but he just assumes that he should be the first to have it ....... and he takes it!  Or a box of chocolates -  supposed to be shared, but snared by him instead.

I'm supposed to be writing about special offers for hotels near Hyde Park, but hump that for a minute.  I'll get back to it later.

The point here is: isn't it fantastic, just fantastic, to escape from the overbearing, egotistical, irritating and tedious company of someone like my 'friend.' 

And that is exactly what I did yesterday  -  I made a spectacular escape from him and fled to the fresh, wide and verdant spaces of Hyde Park.  What freedom. What release.  This was what it means to be at liberty.  I was King and this was my Camelot, here in Hyde Park, for "one brief shining moment."  Well, actually ..... it was for half an hour.  I had to go back and meet up with him again.  But it was great at the time.  A lunch break on my own purchased with the excuse  - lie  -  that I needed to run down to the travel agents about a cruise booking.

The good news is it will be another two months before I have to see him again.

My wife says I should be more understanding, especially if he is, as I say, suffering from a priority complex.  Okay.  I accept he is a sufferer.  A victim, even.  But still.  It doesn't seem to work out too bad for him.  Whatever is going, he always gets it  -  including the wine.  ....... and the chocs.

Hyde Park  -  a great escape.  Relaxing moments in London's famous Royal Park.
