AP, Royalty and Faberge.

A pic of HRH Prince Michael of Kent, the Queen's first cousin, his vintage TT AP RO, and 2 Faberge Eggs, the Colonnade Egg and the Mosaic Egg.

You would think that with 2 Faberge eggs he could at least buy a nice YG Sub with a few emeralds to bling up his outfit

Supreme reading skills there, APAP!

HRH stands for His Royal Highness, and it’s a formality to use it in conjunction with his title, just as you would when someone who’s been knighted, by referring to them as Sir xxxx xxxxxx
E.g. Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, etc.

Guess explaining his great grandfather was the tsar and he was known as "rent a Royal" would be wasted on the masses!

And that Carl Faberge made the Imperial Eggs for Tsar Nicholas' family every Easter is the link. Plus he looks just like him.

Haha. I know precisely what HRH stands for.

It wasn't needed still. Prince X alone would've done the job :)
