Thank you again for all links and pics of today!
On the Prince of Wales website is a good summary of the royal visit today:

http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/news/index.php

And there are two very nice pics, the first, where the Duchess talks with students and the second, where the Prince and the Duchess visit ancient Buddhist remains at Taxila.

I think, they both again looked absolutely great! A bit like a happy couple on holidays.

Well done Prince Charles. Let's just hope the message get's through and that His Royal Highness get's credit for his words.

"...truth and fairness and civilized values" mean different things in different cultures. I would have hoped for some more insightful comments from the Prince.

I disagree, grevinnan. All cultures value truth (honesty), fairness and civilized values. The problems arise when people from different cultures refuse to share these values, which is why they are generally called extremists. I think its admirable that the Prince is willing to put his own neck on the line (so to speak) in order to promote these values and understanding between cultures.

Royal couple visit earthquake zone

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall witnessed the devastating impact of the Asian earthquake as they travelled to a small town in Pakistan-administered Kashmir which was ravaged by the disaster.

There are lots more pics of Charles and Camilla now on getty images when you type their names in now. They are so sweet when they are walking up and down the hill thing, especially when she grabs his hand.

Thank you to all, who posted links today!

I like very much to see them talking to the people in Pattika. I think, it is not an easy visit for them, because they only can give the poor people their sympathy and try to show the terrible situation in the earthquake region again to the public, so that the people get more money and help, before the next winter starts there.

For me too, the ´holding hands´ pics are my favourites from today. They are such a nice couple .

And i also like Camilla in the blue shalwar karmeez at the presidential banquet. Very elegant!

I don't think so. This blue outfit I have already seen before. I think during their trip to India.
