Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall Current Events 12: February-March 2006

She wore that brooch because of it's Welsh connotations - I quite like it. The children were wearing traditional Welsh dress I think.

Yep.

When I was a kid I used to collect dolls dressed in different national costumes, and I remember enough about them to recognise Welsh national dress when I see it.

As to the Royalist article, there may be a difference between Royal Colonel and Colonel in Chief. There were a whole slew of colonels for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc, and it stands to reason that the whole lot of them might have some sort of uber-Colonel. Doesn't mean the regular colonel appointments didn't happen.

Sorry Elspeth but unless Princess Anne and Prince Charles have been demoted to mere Colonels, the royalist article is wrong.

I just saw on their website that The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall to visit Egypt, Saudi Arabia and India from 20th march - 31st march 2006.

That's some really great news! I'll be looking forward to this visit!

 

[BeatrixFan]

It worries me a little but I'm sure security will be top notch.

yeah i read on my text message of phone they're talking about couples will attend 3 trips for state visit but Prince Charles's second trips would be Saudi Arabia since her marriage to Princess Diana and India in 1992 of his separation to Diana but im not sure what about his first time of egypt?

 

[ysbel]

There will be some great shots of them at the Pyramids, I think.

 

[Warren]

There will be some great shots of them at the Pyramids, I think.

But will they be going to Agra?

 

[Eliza]

There was alot of hype when Charles and Diana visted India and they didn't visit the Taj together, thus creating the famous single shot of Diana sitting in the garden of the Taj... Do you think this time round, with his true love at his side, he'll visit the Taj with Camilla?

 

[love_cc]

Just look forward to their oversea visit. I really hope that Prince Charles will be able to take more duties with Camilla by his side and win over more people. I don't think they would go to Taj together because it would cause some new controversy from the media and Diana' fans.

 

[nokklav]

plus there will be the state visit from brazil next week...i hope we'll see camilla again with a tiara!
