The Prince of Wales Current Events 11: November 2009-March 2013

[Tyger]

I think Charles is aging very well. In fact, when I see these pictures it strikes me that there is a very interesting man there. Like with some actors, I wouldn't mind sitting next to him on a long airplane flight. There's a lot there - you can sense the respect men have for him.

I think the UK is very lucky in how Charles has turned out. It would be nice for the Queen to relinquish more and more to Charles, so that when the days come when she needs to withdraw - as comes to us all - he is solid in the duties. He's going to do well.

I've had the change to see the relevant part of the ceremony on Television
yesterday, Catherine with her princess dress and Charles' excitment have made me grin...

You know, I look at those pictures of William and Catherine and I think - its all new and 'young lovey dovey' - but there will come that moment, its so human - you know how it is when you're married for a while - 'honey, I know where to sign, thank you very much, please back off' - just made me laugh. Sorry - pressing ahead too fast.

Prince Andrew not only Royal embarrased by Libya associations....

A sensible article showing that it isn't necessarily personal links as much as the government using the royal family to promote the links for the good of Britain and British trade and economy. Sure friendships might develop but the reason why the relationships started was the government pushing the British royals to create and maintain links with these people.

PoW seems to be an extremely happy man. He wasn't always like that.

PoW seems to be an extremely happy man. He wasn't always like that.

He does really seem to have a happy smile or a amused chuckle these days. I think he's really happy with who he is and with those around him.
Life is good.

 

[udyusa]

I hope his life stays this way.. I am happy for him.

Charles sells parties at the Palace to Spanish tile giant (...and now the chairman and his wife are invited to Royal Wedding) | Mail Online

Seems that how things are reported in Britain aren't the same way as they are done elsewhere - what is the truth I wonder?

Well it would be far from my 1st choice for sure!

 

[ladongas]

Well it would be far from my 1st choice for sure!

That was a hat?? I thought it was her hair.

 

[roseroyal]

No it was her hat! It was an older lady , with grayish hair, with that thing on top!
There is a better photo in the gallery of the official British Monarchy website.
