Further details
A royal visitor is coming to inspect Bletchley Park, but the top brass are worried that this particular royal is a Nazi sympathiser. Hut 33 has to delay him and make sure he doesn't see any of the code-breaking machines.
It turns out Prince George, the Duke of Kent is not only 'a keen amateur photographer of airfields, docks and military installations', he's also interested in men. He takes a shine to Archie and reluctantly the geordie agrees to the plan of taking the prince out for a drink to keep him away from their codebreaking machines. Charles does his best to ensure the date goes smoothly.
