"Dear HRH Prince @Mlp_Mortis,
While I appreciate your dedication to your duties and your tireless work ethic, I believe those batteries had another week of life in them at least, possibly more.
I entreat you to return them so I can listen to my favorite podcasts while at spin class.
You must come around for tea and bone broth, should your schedule permit it.
Yours affectionately,
--C of E"
