I adore this photo from the dedication of the Memorial to the Women's Land Army at Clochan, Buckie, Banffshir. The ladies are cheering on the POW!

Great shot. I love the expression on the Prince's face too.

I love the second picture! It looks like His Highness is enjoying himself .

 

[EIIR]

They're all doing the 'Mo-bot' in that picture, Daria. It's part of the double gold medal winning runner Mo Farah's trademark. He parts his hands on his head to simulate the letter 'M'. It's become a bit of a craze in the UK since the Olympics.

I saw a little bit of the Pride of Britain awards on TV earlier and I've decided I just can't watch programmes like that because I'm guaranteed to be in floods of tears inside about 10 minutes.

Oh, rock on, Your Highness! Love the pictures, and the fact that he's in his Saville Row suit, going to ride a motorcycle.

Charles looks older than (almost) 64. I remember when he turned 50, even though I was only 8 at the time.

I just realized that it's already his birthday in New Zealand! I wonder if he's awake yet, seeing as it's 6 AM.

 

[AdmirerUS]

I really hope he went and watched the solar eclipse on his day off. It's the kind of geeky/awe inspiring thing I would do and also I think he would do it.

 

[padams2359]

I would think so. I have never experienced one. Never have had one here. I was in Costa Rica a few years ago, Agee days after it occurred they are a big deal in the area where it occurs. If he was there, or close by, he would go. The visit could have been scheduled long ago knowing the eclipse would happen then. The Monarchy is by the will of God. Big association with religion of natives.

No doubt the Prince of Wales is going to take some flak over this statement.

Interestingly the headline never mentioned the award but at last people are realising he is not a crank.

I truly admire the awareness HRH raises on the enviornment. I really liked his movie Harmony.

"I'm running out of time"

Interesting article on the P0W.

I think the comment about running out of time is natural for anyone who's in their 60's. He's a few years older than me and I feel the same.

Prince Charles: 'I’m running out of time' - Telegraph

This was a great read. The commentary is right on. Now he can have his projects, but when he becomes king, all but the charities should become concealed. Interesting.

This implies he fears not having time to reign. "I shall have snuffed it if I’m not careful."

It is not the optimal POV with which one can face life - but then, I have my own bugaboos as well. I just hope he stays happy, which he appears to be, these days.
