What part of "enough already" did everyone not understand? Moving on!

Life goes on...another pheasant shoot with Prince Edward on the
Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, Britain - 02 Jan 2009 - I'm sure he
was aware that he was carefully watched at.

^ those dogs look like they are being treated like kings now!
It looks like a PR 'shoot' as opposed to a pheasant shoot! It would be interesting to know how far away these photographers are. Are the grounds not big enough for them to hunt in privacy without being seen or are these photographers stationed on every possible road?

Thanks for the pics, Ice. It does seem as tho P E is trying to make amends w either the public or the dogs or both. The dogs look happy and healthy and not the least bit fearful of him so I'd like to believe he treats them well.

This brouhaha about Prince Edward shows the ignorance of dogs on the part of the people complaining. The dogs in the photos are obviously well fed, well cared for and not at all afraid of their master.

Waving a stick about to break up a dog fight is NOT abuse.

I think I have to echo your views marysusan this is a storm in a teacup IMO and yet another attempt by the media to fill their papers at this time of the year and creat a lot of drama over a selected few snaps. IMO

[Iluvbertie]

Not to mention the fact that some people will always believe any negative story about the royals but when something shows them in a positive light it is passed off as just PR rather than the truth. It is the same as the story this week about Charles overtaking Anne as the hardest working royal based on number of engagements. There were people who wrote into one of the newspapers who simply ignored the evidence and refused to believe that Charles could be doing more than Anne - simply not prepared to accept anything positive about a particular royal while others won't believe any positive story about any of them at all - so sad that people can be that cynical.

We know that the royals all have dogs and lots of them in some cases. To think that any of them would therefore deliberately hurt one, or not know the correct way to do things, is very difficult for some of us who absolutely love dogs and to me is a sign of people who just want to believe the negative and not look at things in any other light.

Another day, another set of photos:

How long we will have this story day by day?

Until Edward, or another royal, does something. Unfortunately it is the holidays for the royals so it could continue for a little while yet.

[MARG]

Please say it isn't so. If I have to look at one more "Kumbaya" photo of Edward gazing adoringly into a black Lab's eyes I think I'll be ill.

[Duchess]

well, if the slowing rate of replies in this thread is any indication, the interest in this story is waining quickly so you may get the relief you're looking for.

[Bella]

Were there any photos of the Wessex children from the Christmas holidays?

[AuroraB]

The long answer - not that I am aware of.

On January 3, 2009 Sophie also went on one of those pheasant shoots
on the Sandringham Estate. Here are some pics:

Pity Edward won't now sue for character deformation.
