Prince Ludwig is a master of disguise. Nursie, however, is an insane old woman with an udder fixation! RIP Nursie.
That it would be an awful moment? From what I read about him on here, I'd have thought it'd be a time for rejoicing.
"You almost were a boy, my little cherry pip.." Queenie: "What?" Nursie: "Yeah, out you popped out of you mummy's tumkin and everyone shouted, 'It's a boy! It's a boy!', then somebody said, 'but he doesn't have a winkle.' Then, I said, 'A boy without a winkle? God be praised it's a miracle: a boy without a winkle!' And then, Sir Thomas Moore pointed out that a boy without a winkle is a girl. And everyone was really disappointed.." RIP Nursie
