London, England --
Right after Duke (formally known as Prince) William and Duchess Kate of Cambridge left the balcony at Buckingham Palace, a Bobby issued him a ticket for excessive public display of affection.
"What’s this for?" asked Duke William as he was handed the ticket.
"It’s a fine, my lord," replied the Bobby as he politely tipped his hat to the Duchess, Kate.
"Right," said Duke William. "But what’s it for?"
"Excessive public display of affection, sir," said the Bobby, as William’s fellow airforce comrades surrounded him.
"What excessive public display of affection?" asked the Duke, beginning to lose his patience.
"Just now," said the Bobby. "Out there on the balcony. When you kissed the wife twice on the lips, sir."
William's military buddies tightened their circle around the Bobby.
"Listen here," said William as he nodded to his friends. "Why don’t we discuss this in private, eh?"
"Well, that’s really not necessary, sir," nervously said the Bobby as he was dragged off by William’s buddies.
"Put him in the drawing room!" shouted Duke William. "I’ll be there momentarily. I’ll be damned if I let anyone get away with fining me for kissing my wife twice."
"What’s going on, Dukey?" asked a concerned Kate.
William then turned to his beautiful bride and kissed her again, right on the lips.
"Nothing, my love," said William as he ran off to the drawing room, removing his blue sash and red jacket along the way. "Duty calls!"
