Hail, King Roger, er ... Arthur?

Hear ye! Hear ye! Our King Roger the Great has been in another photo shoot by renowned photographer Annie Liebovitz and this time it's for Disney's "Year of a Million Dreams" promotion.

In a photo (detail shown at left) aptly entitled "When You're Always King of the Court", Roger looking every inch a dashing knight in shining armor--and a flowing red cape to boot!--poses as the legendary King Arthur as he pulls the sword from the stone. The backdrop was said to have been taken at Tintagel Castle at Cornwall, England, purportedly the birthplace of King Arthur.

The photo is just one in a series that was commissioned by Disney to feature various international celebrities--such as singer Julie Andrews--in fairy tale settings.

P.S.
Don't you think that if the photo were cropped as shown, it would look just perfect in a gilt frame hung on a castle wall?
