I noticed that Clarence House saw fit to rebut the outlandish statement that Camilla would be taking a 40 person entourage with her. Now the papers are claiming its 20 when its actually 16.

I thught that account of 40 people looked a bit bogus. She'd be guided on this first tour by what the royal family usually does, and the royal family usually doesn't take that many people along. Is this a symptom of the Mail's continuing partisanship of Diana, trying to cause problems for Camilla, perhaps?

I wouldn't doubt it Elspeth. What surprised me is the rebuttal from Clarence House. I guess they took it seriously enough to speak out.

Most probably Charles and Camilla are NOT coming to my building but will attend a ceremony at the platform constructed on the WTC site. I've been scouting the building for places to take pics but it looks pretty slim. I'll have to take a telephoto lens to get any good pics.

The weather should be nice though.

You are not going to pull a Spiderman act and leap from the buildings to get the pics are you? :)

I mean that in a teasing manner.

Well, ysbel, if the desire of the board regulars here to see some of your pics of Charles and Camilla isn't enough to make you rush out immediately and invest in whatever photographic equipment is necessary, I really do have to say that you don't appear to be taking your membership of this board anywhere near seriously enough.

LOL you two

I'll be taking my camera but my boss signed me up for a 2 day class starting tomorrow so if they don't do it during my lunch break I'm in trouble.

I did find the entrance to the platform at the World Trade Center. Now only to find out when they will be there. The lack of details here is maddening!

Apparently, they want to jump on any possible bad news about the trip. Saving too much face, I think though. It sounded ridiculous. No need to comment on everything.

I don't understand this stuff about Charles not working for a living. A lot of rich Americans whose basic income is inherited and coming from income from investments are doing the same thing he is, with their dedication to charity work and work in society along the lines of Charles's invovlement with Poundbury. As the 60-minutes segment said, he acts as an ambassador for British goods, services, and values by carrying out tours arranged by the Foreign Office. How is this different from the way a lot of well-connected friends of the US President of the day conduct their lives with no criticism from mainstream journalists?

I agree for the most part Elspeth.

He does work. He works his backside off. I may not have agreed with everything he has done in his life, but I admire and respect the hard work and dedication he has to his role ans to the Monarchy.

But, I think maybe what the journalist from 60 Minutes was trying to say, and poorly, is that a royal does not work in the traditional sense like us commoners. Edward and Sophie tried to be both royal and work at normal jobs and as we saw, were not able to do both so they had to pick.

I do not think it was meant to angled: Prince Charles does not work, does not have to work, etc.

I think part of the problem is the journalist from 60 Minutes did not do his research properly.

Does anyone know if reporters will be able to ask the royal couple questions, and if they have planned any walkabouts to meet and greet the people?

I haven't read all of the posts so this schedule may have been posted already, but the latest is that the couple will be in New York to visit Ground Zero and the UN, then go to Washington for lunch and dinner with the president, and finishing with 2 days in San Fransisco.

I'm betting that close encounters with reporters will be prevented because Charles doesn't want to answer questions about Diana or other sensitive topics. He certainly wasn't open to answering questions he wasn't prepared for on 60 Minutes.

The British RF don't answer questions 'on the job' as it were. For example, when the Queen's opening a hospital, the press wouldn't dare ask her a question because they know they'd be ignored. Camilla has answered Reporters questions when asked and I think Princess Alexandra makes the odd comment but thats about it. Interviews are scheduled and the Royals are well primed.

I know...I have not seen specific times for anything either. I think because of security they are doing that...

Oh dear, I'm not able to get any pics at all. My class has almost no breaks and I don't have time to get over to the WTC platform anyway. :(

I was surprised they only started at 12pm. I'll check in after class when I hope I'll see lots of pics of the event. Don't forget they're going to the British gardens after this.

I saw a clip on CNN. I think it was new. Camilla was wearing the suit that she wore for tea with Haakon & Mette-Marit during the Norwegian State Visit.
