The premise
Here’s the bit.
Shopping for a new grandchild, Camilla finds ordinary baby supplies baffling. Tiny booties look more useful for her dogs, while a lesson in infant development leaves her questioning the whole enterprise. A model aircraft carrier finally catches her eye, although the delighted recipient she has in mind is her husband. The shop assistant then raises an unfamiliar obstacle: paying for it.

I need a present for the new Ballet Grand, Sprog.

Shop Assistant
Hello. What about a hat?
- 00:08
Camilla
It's not really cranny enough.
- 00:10
Shop Assistant
Or some booties?
- 00:12
Camilla
Oh, they're good, yes. I'll take two dozen for the dogs. Charles won't turn that fucking heating on.

Shop Assistant
What about something practical, like a teething ring?
- 00:25
Camilla
What the hell's a teething ring?
- 00:27
Shop Assistant
Well, you know, when babies are born, they don't have teeth.
- 00:29
Camilla
They don't have teeth?
- 00:30
Shop Assistant
No. Or you could get a play gym, which is a good way of getting exercise while they can't walk.
- 00:37
Camilla
They can't walk and they don't have teeth. What the bloody hell is the point of them?
- 00:41
Shop Assistant
Or a little portable bath.

Camilla
The Royal Marines take care of maritime issues. Oh, what's this?
- 00:48
Shop Assistant
Oh, that's not really suitable for newborns. It's a boat that has little aeroplanes.
- 00:53
Camilla
Fucking aircraft carrier. Oh, his little face will just light up.

Shop Assistant
The baby?
- 01:02
Camilla
No, my husband, you twonk. Rev it up and have it sent to Highgrove.
- 01:07
Shop Assistant
Er, you have to pay.
- 01:09
Camilla
Oh, you are funny.
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
