A Roiyal at Hogwarts?

Wouldn't it be..._interesting_....if one of the Royal Family turned out to
be strongly magical, and got The Letter From Hogwarts?  If the Muggle PM
knows about the magical world (and, I would assume, the Opposition leader
must, as well, if only so that he can step in if there's a change of party
dominance in Parliament) it would follow that the reigning monarch would
also know.  Since Hogwarts is the optimal environment for a budding witch or
wizard, the case for sending even a member of the Royal Family there would
be strong.

The tabloid press would go NUTS wondering where Prince or Princess Whoozis
was going to school.  (Unless, of course, royals who are found to be magical
are tutored privately---I imagine this could be arranged fairly easily).

Having the paparazzi running up against the Aurors would be _so_
amusing..."Paparazzo, meet Mad-Eye Moody.  Mad-Eye Moody, this is a
paparazzo."  Come to it, Herself has said that Rita Skeeter was conceived
_before_ She became world-famous...could she have been inspired by the
tabloids' feeding frenzy about Princess Diana?
