You remind me of those who tell me 'Wow, you're so lucky to be teaching pre-school and have a bunch of disabled kids in your class' when they hear that I'm a special ed. teacher. They assume it's like babysitting, especially if there are children with any sort of exceptionalities in one's classroom. However, it's far from babysitting. I'm actually TEACHING these children skills they'll need to have before they move on to primary grades. My students with special needs have certain goals they have to meet, and it's my responsibility to make sure that they do so. Now, you think that the Cambridges' tour is a holiday? Well, I have no idea what type of holidays you take, but I bet they don't involve the press around you twenty-four-seven, a bunch of security, constant briefings on whom you're meeting, why you're meeting him/her/them, what the situation is like, what is considered 'appropriate', what you're expected to eat/say/observe/enjoy. I could go on, but I won't, because the list I've compiled makes me want to shut down and take an anti-anxiety pill. The point is, that they're NOT on a holiday, because even if they're visiting a beautiful and exotic place, they really can't enjoy it as much as they would have, if they had a SAY in what they actually saw, ate, participated in, not to mention whom they socialized (or not socialized) with. Your view is so skewed, that you're creating a fairy take where one doesn't exist. It's work, plain and simple, and just because YOU don't see it as such, doesn't make it less demanding, or diminish its' value. They're celebrating Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, so that alone implies that they'll be there as representatives of the Crown, and not as spectators.
. Good to kick back and relax, even during an official tour.
carlota said:well, they seem to have been snorkeling yesterday, on a desertes island the day before... while in canada, they got some time off in a hut in the forest if i well remember. i doubt many senior businessmen get to do that on their official trips out.
in any case, can we not just let the rest of the people express themselves? that's why we are all here for, or maybe i got this place confused!

WELL WELL WELL said.
Prince Charles has travelled the Italian and Greek seas for years, mostly invited by John Latsis, in his hyper-hyper luxurious yacht.
WELL WELL WELL said.
Out of this, especially the Cambridges, are not simply royals, they are very rich royals from many various sources. William, received a personnal huge heritage from his mum, his granma the Queen has a huge personnal fortune, and Catherine's family is rich. If with all these pennies they could not have nice holidays.........
