Butt of Malmsey

And suddenly he can sweat after all. They will have taken his DNA, so they now know for certain whether or not he is a lizard. But none of this is unprecedented, even in recent years. Princess Anne has a criminal record, having been prosecuted by her mother.

But Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is a patrilineal descendant of Elimar I of Oldenburg, yet he has to call himself that. Only the related line of Borbón y Battenberg surpassed this combination of the sublime and the ridiculous, and even that had the House of Bourbon in its name. Mountbatten-Windsor? Cruel and unusual punishment.

In any case, he is at least Lord Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as the son of a Duke, and indeed Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, as the son of Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. Now, since the Police are on a roll today, did someone mention Peter Mandelson?
