The Prince of Wales, has joined the row about the authorship of the plays that history calls the works of William Shakespeare.
Anonymous, directed by Independence Day film maker Roland Emmerich, resurrects an old concept that the writer of Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet wasn't a humble actor from Stratford on Avon but aristocratic writer Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.
Rhys Ifans plays devere, who is also, according to the film's version of the Prince Tudor Theory, Queen Elizabeth I's illegitimate son 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.
Actually the Stratfordians have come out fighting for their man "and, cynics might suggest, in defence of an exceedingly profitable visitor industry. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has launched an online campaign; promising to, 'tackle head-on the conspiracy ideas that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was not the true writer of the plays which bear his name'.
Charles has added his voice to a host of melodramatic royalty in an all out attack on the Oxfordian claims of Incognito.
Speaking about Shakespeare's links to royalty, Charles disagrees that the Bard's company of players continually acted in front of Elizabeth I and her successor, James I, was so keen 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 relatively humble the authorship of the 37 plays has been disputed ever since their genius was enthusiastically recognised in the mid-19th Century.
Perhaps most worrying of all for the Shakespearean firm is that Sony, which is releasing the film, has inundated American colleges with lesson plans backing their concept. The devere scam film will cause a lot of confusion for students. In a land where the teaching of evolution is still up for discussion who can say what that may do to Stratford upon Avon's visitor numbers.
