The velour industry...

Question

Cedric: Quite an eventful first day, Your Majesty.
I'll leave you to rest now.
This is Your Majesty's bedroom.
Unfortunately, you can redecorate
your private quarters as you see fit.

Ralph (His Majesty): Good. I got a few ideas.
Cedric: The velours industry is on stand-by. The king has his own tailors or they intend to order velours if necessary?
Through those doors is your dining room,
and across the way, the bath.

Hi,
Cedric: Quite an eventful first day, Your Majesty.
I'll leave you to rest now.
This is Your Majesty's bedroom.
Unfortunately, you can redecorate
your private quarters as you see fit.

Ralph (His Majesty): Good. I got a few ideas.
Cedric: The velours industry is on stand-by. The king has his own tailors or they intend to order velours if necessary?

Through those doors is your dining room,
and across the way, the bath.

Ralph is a vulgar man with common tastes. Velvet is a material often favoured by Kings, and velour is just an imitation kind of velvet. The speaker is being sarcastic. 'The makers of vulgar material are ready for your orders'.

You learn English from some unusual sources. But it makes a change from Superman.

Best wishes, Clive
