Mi tokpisin orait? Prince Charles speaks Pidgin on Diamond Jubilee tour

No, you haven't stepped back in time. This really is our Royal family on tour, looking every inch aristos of yesteryear on a tour of "the colonies".

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are on a Pacific tour, which has so far seen Charles speak Tok Pisin – a form of Pidgin English combining English and creole – in Papua New Guinea and Camilla pet a wallaby.

To keep up the royal stereotypes, they will watch horse racing with Mischa Barton and local star Delta Goodrem.
