Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall meet staff, children and parents from Cardiff Ty Hafan Children's Hospice, in the Orchard Room at Highgrove House, in Tetbury, England, Monday Dec.19, 2005. Ten excited youngsters were invited to the Prince's Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire to help the Royal couple decorate their Christmas tree. Charles and Camilla spent nearly an hour chatting and joking with the children, who are all being cared for at the Ty Hafan children's hospice in Barry, South Wales

I didn't know that either. I don't think its a tradition; it looks like they just wanted to do it. Something like the Queen's tea parties which is I think a neat idea.

Here are some more pics from BBC. I like that they did this. It was very caring. Do you think it was something Camilla suggested to do since this is the first time I heard about it. She is involved with orginizations dealing with disadvantaged children so who knows.

Copying prince's diaries 'outrageous'
STEPHEN HOWARD
COPYING the Prince of Wales's private journals was a "blatant, outrageous and wrongful interference", a High Court judge was told yesterday.

Can you imagine how chagrined he would be if it turned out half his friends couldn't find them b/c they either tossed them into the trash or boxed them up into the attic or a storage closet? :p

Camilla is doing great and looking great, as usual. She is really wonderful. And that was really nice of them to call all those children from Hospice, that means a lot for the kids.
I love Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla more and more. They seem so happy together and so caring for people.

She really loves the contact with the horses and of course the pony club riders seemed to enjoy talking to another 'horse lover'.

The skirt and jacket look really good but, I bet she wished she had got her jodphurs on and could take out one of the horses!:)

I like the skirt. The jacket goes really good with it. She looked nice as usuall.
I found an artical recapping the tumultuous year of 2005. It ends with a charming bit on Charles and Camilla and the general opinion of the brits.

In the UK., A Year of Marvel...........and then the murder(with a little romance)

Who is this guy. His take on his fellow brits seems outlandishly out of step with the general public he claims to be writing about.:(
The Routemaster buses have now gone, he seems to have missed that as well!
Still like anyone, he has to write what will sell papers!

Call Me George, says Charles

Royal Name Change not Uncommon

Queen Ends Traditional Sandringham Christmas

I am thrilled with the news that Charles favours the name George. I have always loved the name George and King George VII has such a regal feel to it. God bless the future King George VII and Queen Camilla (or Rosemary if she wishes). Im glad Charles and his boys convinced the Queen to move christmas back to Windsor Castle. I have always liked it there better and maybe we will see more royals there next year. Though, I will miss the walk to church. But we still have the walk to St. Georges Chapel.

I prefers to George VII too. It is nice for Charles to use George VII to memorise his grandparents. Charles loves his grandparents deeply and always to want to have an enduring marriage like theirs. The names of King George VII and Queen Camilla or Queen Rosemary are welcomed. A new beginning for both of them.

Well, this name change business is still speculative. No official announcement has been made, and the Times isn't naming the "close friends" who are supposed to have said it.

There's certainly a good argument to be made for changing his name to George, but since he's been Charles for so many years already and since he seems to want to look forward rather than back, I think there are also disadvantages.
