Barry Humphries would have turned 90 on Saturday and his birthday sent this fabulous clip viral all over again

The late, great Barry Humphries would have been 90 on Saturday and the milestone sent this fabulous clip viral all over again.

It’s from the Royal Variety Performance back in 2013 – 2013! – when Humphries, or rather, Dame Edna Everage, paid an impromptu visit to the royal box and the (then) Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.

It was shared by author and biographer @JamesAHogg2 and it’s a moment for the ages.

The mighty Barry Humphries would have been 90 today, which means I am obliged to post this.

And here’s just a little bit of the love and affection it prompted.

God Bless that Legend Barry Humphries.❤️

I loved Dame Edna and, whilst I'm no royalist, the sheer joy and obvious laughter of Charles and Camilla make this

I never tire of seeing Edna. No matter how many times I see a clip it is always like I am watching it for the first time. Pure joy
