How adorable and happy does Charles look with that little nappy?! I think he is going to be a fun grandfather.

Yes, the pictures of Charles eating oysters are very amusing. It doesn't look like he's enjoying this part of the engagement.

I think Charles will be a fun and loving grandfather. He certainly seems very, very happy with having a grandson, and being around children almost always makes one smile.

The very famous showing of Diana greeting the boys on the yacht with arms outstretched comes to mind. What the reporters etc didn't show and tell was that immediately after their very public greeting with their mother was an equally effusive greeting for their father - done out of sight of prying eyes. Charles kept his time with his boys private and didn't parade them for the world to see but the relationship was quite strong in the childhood and teenage years.

So true - they were both good parents and frankly not that hands on as the boys went to boarding school from the age of 7.

Please note that all posts relating to Charles's relationship as well as the upbringing of Harry and William (as well as Diana) have been deleted as off topic because they have NOTHING to do with Charles and Camilla's Current Events.

I think he was pretty brave on holding that Bald Eagle. That bird looks like he or she would peck you to death.

Agree. I would not have done it. In one picture, the bird's wings appeared to whack him on the head! Funny image, but scary too.

In one of the pictures, it looked as if both bird, and prince were studying the other rather keenly. I have to say, that the teddy bears that were passed on to be given to little George are very cute. I can see why His Highness liked the smaller one  . Camila looked right at home, interacting with the dog, and the little girl who gave her seeds. She really is very natural when it comes to interactions, and social skills.

I'm with you. That bird was certainly not someone to be taken lightly.

The only person I have seen hold a bird like that, and be able to keep the bird calm was Robert Hardy in a film. Surprise, surprise.

When Camilla mentions going on holiday with seven children I wonder who she means. She as 5 grandchildren so I wonder who the other two are?
