Saluted by Her Majesty's Prison Officers for Services to the British Empire
I was thinking about The Italian Job yesterday, for the first time in years.
Many people blame NATO Intelligence sphere of influence terrorism under GLADIO and the Propaganda Due Lodge for the Years of Lead in Italy and the social and political chaos that lasted for almost two decades that followed on from the Hot Autumn of 1969 - large sections of the political economy of Italy and the social infrastructure just spontaneous fell apart and stopped working for no clear reason.
I personally feel it can all be traced back to computer virus authored by Benny Hill that got fed into the Milanese Police Central computer to create enormous traffic jams and cause none of the trains to run on time.
There's actually, if you take the film seriously, and at face-value, a none-too-subtle subtext running right through the heart of The Italian Job, commenting on the interactions and intersections between the British Secret Services, the Monarchy, East End gangsterism and paedophilia.
Nöel Coward's character is essentially an amalgam of the famous lovers, Ronnie Kray and Lord Boothby, and Coward's real-life extensive involvement with the worlds of espionage, court gossip around the House of Windsor and young boys is well-known.
In 1967, ripping off the Mafia and massively destabilising the Italian economy was portrayed as being about the most patriotic thing it was possible to do - you notice, when they succeed, all the prison screws (and by implication, Her Majesty) express massive support and admiration at the completion of the Job.
They them attempt to Switzerland to deposit the stolen bullion - classic PERMINDEX operation.
Noel Coward
According to Wikipedia:
Both before and after his marriage, Prince George had a long string of affairs with both men and women, from socialites to Hollywood celebrities.
Intimate letters from the Duke to Noel Coward are believed to have been stolen from Coward's house in 1942.
He was also extremely close to Henry "Chips" Channon.

During World war II, the UK security services reported that Prince George and Noel Coward "had been seen parading together through the streets of London, dressed and made up as women, and had once been arrested by the police for suspected prostitution."
Newspaper magnate Lord Beaverbrook organised the theft from Noel Coward's home of Prince George's passionate love letters to Coward, one of which began, "My dearest darling Noel", and another, "noelie, my own sweet love".
Prince George, "regarded by some as an increasing security risk during wartime, was killed in a mysterious air crash in Scotland on August 23, 1942."

The head of Britain's MI6, Sir Maurice Oldfield, was reportedly observed by his Special Branch guards partaking of Kincora's facilities. (The troubles: Google Books Result)

According to "The Biggest Secret of World War II": during World war II, Maurice Oldfield was arrested with the King’s brother, the Duke of Kent, Prince George, a boyfriend to Sir Anthony Blunt.
"A policeman rounded up what he thought were 3 drunken street whores, only to find they were ... the HIGHEST in the land...
"Maurice Oldfield and the Duke of Kent ... had links to Victor Rothschild. Rothschild was Churchill’s mentor; he made Churchill’s decisions."
