@LUNCH - French comedian arrested for trying to marry Prince Harry─── 12:34 Fri, 08 May 2015
A French actress climbed the gates of Kensington Palace in high heels, interrupted the changing of the guard and spent two nights in a British jail as she secretly filmed a comedy about a Parisian desperate to marry Britain's Prince Harry.
The movie Connasse: Princesse des coeurs (The Parisian bitch) has seen long queues outside French cinemas as over 500,000 rushed to see the comedy filmed entirely by hidden camera, in its first week, according to film distributor Gaumont.
The story revolves around an insufferable Parisian woman, played by Camille Cottin, who has just turned 30 and decided she is sick of using public transport, paying taxes or any of the daily grind faced by mere mortals.
Shamelessly speaking her mind at every turn she heads for London to marry, what the film's blurb describes as "the last bachelor prince who is not deformed (even if he is a redhead) and who is the right age: Prince Harry."
Faced with cars driving the wrong way, the curious English tradition of chit-chatting about the weather and a complete incomprehension of basic manners, the would-be royal has her task cut out for her as she hunts down the real-life prince and fifth in line to the throne.
