When Charles was interviewed by Ant and Dec, they were told to call him "The Prince of Wales" or "Sir", not "His Royal Highness". I think it's so that they don't come across as stuffy.

There is a new book from a former member of staff of The Prince of Wales. The name of the author is Sarah Goodall ( she was working for the Prince for 12 years) and the title is: The Palace Diaries, The true story of life behind the palace gates.
Another author who wants to sell intimate details....i donīt understand why these kind of people can stay quiet...
I donīt want to read things like these, and i hope nobody will buy the book, then maybe there will be no next one!
You can read about the book today in ` The Scotsman`, online too.

At www.observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story you can read an article about Tom Parker Bowles where he talks about his work but also about his mother and Charles.

Imagine being able to chat to someone who knew your great-uncle? Fantastic to those of us into geneaology! Prince Charles always struck me as someone with a keen sense of history, I'm sure he was genuinely pleased to be able to be a part of the memorial unveiling.

Yes, and this was somebody who had actually served with the Queen Mother's brother. He must have been interesting to talk to.

Thank you for the nice pics from yesterday in Alyth and today in London!
Two days and two very different looks: They look very nice in their elegant evening outfits, but mostly i love it to see them in their `scottish clothes`.
Canīt get enough from pics like these!

I agree Elise. When I first saw this pic in it's thumbnail size, I thought it was the Duke of Edinburgh and the Queen. I don't think it's scary though - it's rather reassuring.

I like the fringe detailing on Camilla's blouse, very pretty and feminine. Her skirt was lovely too.
