"Thanks for the preview of my obituary": Prince Charles jokes during his GQ Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech
To go with the various awards received from numerous agricultural, environmental and architectural societies, Prince Charles now has an award from a glossy magazine about glitz and glamour to add to his list of honors. The 69-year-old royal was awarded The Editor’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Services at this year's GQ Men of the Year Awards for the many services he's provided to philanthropy, and taking the stage, he entertained the audience with a joke at his own expense.
"I want to apologize for being wrongly dressed, I feared none of you would be able to compete with my snazzy dinner jacket," he said. "When I first heard about this award I thought it must be a mistake and it was a fashion award. With fashion, I’m like a stopped clock." But he also took to thanking the GQ editor right away, saying: "I’m grateful to Dylan to give me a preview of my obituary."
