Oh goody - drunk in charge of a mouse. Sounds as though you really do need that cup of tea!

LOL. In charge of a mouse? Anywho.....
This the clip that I mentioned in another thread. This really does show Camilla up close and personal with the public. And this clip is amazing because it shows Camilla's reactions to the camera's who were desperate to catch the shot of the chap (David) kissing her. Listen out for 'and the other one' when she kisses him. It also shows how Charles and Camilla function as a couple , "This is the poet I'm always telling you about". I love this clip and if the link runs out or doesn't work then let me know and I'll post it again. It's a clip from The Queen's Castle, BBC. CLIP

Or a latte. I'm going to Starbucks now for a soothing mocha, peppermint and caramel non-fat latte! Don't gag; they're actually quite good!!!!

I'd forgotten about those--geez, even in your gin and tonic recovering state, you're miles ahead of me! Does one have to be royal for awhile before awarding them?

Well, the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the Queen Mother all award(ed) warrants. They might have a Royal Warrant for Camilla as Duchess of Cornwall, but even if they don't, when she's Queen she'll be able to give out Royal Warrants as long as Charles lets her. And I think he will. 'By Appointment to HM Queen Camilla' - sounds good doesn't it!

I can't see Charles not letting her do so. I think he would want her to have all the privileges that come with her role. Even now, if Camilla really, really wanted to give this particular honor to a firm, could she do so under Charles' name?

Well, I don't know if Charles's warrants have been renamed as 'By Appointment to The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall'. I mean, if they have then it covers both. If not then Camilla could ask him to give one to a company she uses - but it's usually done on household. So for example, the Queen has Robinson's cordials so they got a Royal Warrant because she drinks it. It's not so much about whether the Queen likes a product - it's really to show that they supply the Queen with a product. And then the Hyacinth Bucket's of the world can boast that they have the same tea as Her Majesty.

Ahhhhh, I get it now!
Does Harrod's have a warrant? I'd heard royals like PMargaret shopped there often enough and were given lovely gifts. Harrod's has even sponsored some polo matches for the royal family--or for causes near and dear to the royals' hearts. Quote:

Certainly the Duke of Edinburgh cancelled his Royal Warrant there in the mid-90s but it was because he didn't shop there any more and not because of Dodi and Diana. It may also have been to do with the Duke's personal views of Fayed but that is reading between the lines of the two men's relationship rather than on any facts. Fayed made a comment about it not mattering as nobody cared about what the Duke of Edinburgh thought anyway. I think the Prince of Wales ended his warrant around the time of the divorce as it was Diana who shopped there and not him. I don't know if the Queen still has a warrant there.

All the Royal Warrants have gone from Harrods and quite frankly, if they hadn't I'd climb up with a screwdriver and take them off myself. That ghastly man doesn't deserve Royal patronage.

Well, between G&Ts and Cuban eggnog, I'm impressed that you're all managing whole sentences!
