[QUOTE]An Army goat who appeared at rugby matches and met the Prince of Wales has died.

The Queen has been notified about the death of Lance Corporal Shenkin III, a Kashmiri from the Royal Herd at the Great Orme in Llandudno.

The goat was the Regimental Mascot of 3rd Battalion The Royal Welsh. He died on Tuesday at the age of seven.
Described as a "total poser", Shenkin made regular appearances at rugby internationals with his handler, Goat Major Sergeant Mark Jackson.

The Queen has been asked for her permission for the regiment to select a new goat.

Goats from the Great Orme herd have been presented to the regiment since 1844, when Queen Victoria presented the Royal Welch Fusiliers with its first official royal goat.

Even the goat had a higher rank than me

His horns are bigger than my future. #RiflesoutforShenkin.

Also 7 years seems small for a goat.

Does "Total poser" mean something different than it does in the US?

No, a poser a still a poser.

Though in this context I think they mean a showoff. [QUOTE]Described as a "total poser", Shenkin made [B]regular appearances at rugby internationals[/B] with his handler, Goat Major Sergeant Mark Jackson.[/QUOTE]
