7th Duke of Wellington -


"Her Majesty's most ancient order of chivalry, the Knights of the Garter, is dominated by field-marshals who do their own washing up!"


(This must be thefinest example of 1950's snobbery yet published.)

It essentially states that the Field Marshalls aren't afraid to do for themselves right? Which apparently offended this particular Duke.

Precisely. That a man of worth would never dream of touching washing up etc. So these men are unworthy, beneath him ; he himself may have employed someone to squeeze his toothpaste onto the brush; (an allegation directed at Prince Charles in the past.)
