De oratore.

The media seem to be queuing up to praise Prince William for the speech he gave to the Child Bereavement Charity the other day. The content was OK, but was I alone in thinking that the delivery was pretty pants? Reading in a monotone from notes doesn't really inspire. He made his dad's public utterings seem positively Churchillian by comparison. As a future King (d.g.) he really needs to take some lessons in public speaking.
