The Prince of Wales, has joined the row about the authorship of the plays that history calls the works of William Shakespeare.
Unnamed, directed by 4th Of July film maker Roland Emmerich, revives an old theory that the author of Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet was not a humble actor from Stratford on Avon but classy writer Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.
Rhys Ifans plays de Vere, who is also, according to the film's version of the Prince Tudor Speculation, Queen Elizabeth I's illegitimate child and her incestuous lover.
Perhaps that touched a raw royal nerve in Prince Charles, who before the prevailing row is most likely to have heard the de Vere name in association with the planet's largest investment advisers, who concentrate on high worth people.
Charles is also president of the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is showing no sign of changing its name and moving its base from Stratford to devere's Essex estates.
In fact , the Stratfordians have come out fighting for their man "and, cynics might suggest, in defence of a hugely rewarding tourist industry. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has launched an internet campaign; promising to, 'tackle head-on the conspiracy theories that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon wasn't the true author of the plays which bear his name'.
Charles has added his voice to a bunch of dramatic royalty in an all out assault on the Oxfordian assertions of Anonymous.
Speaking about Shakespeare's links to royalty, Charles disagrees that the Bard's company of players regularly acted in front of Elizabeth I and her successor, James I, was so eager on them he granted them a royal charter.
"It's clear that Shakespeare was fascinated by royalty," the Prince says in an audio blog. "The great thing is that his sovereigns, who range from spiritual to villainous, from insufficient to heroic are understandable, fallible human beings."
Shakespeare's life is so poorly documented and his origins are so comparatively humble that the authorship of the 37 plays has been disputed ever since their genius was enthusiastically recognized in the mid-19th Century.
Perhaps most worrying of all for the Shakespearean conglomerate is that Sony, which is releasing the film, has inundated American faculties with lesson plans backing their theory. The devere scam film will cause a lot of confusion for students. In a country where the teaching of evolution is still up for debate who is able to say what which will do to Stratford upon Avon's visitor numbers.
