Finally..CNN just had coverage of them.
They are currently in a meeting with Kofi Annan at the UN and tonight will be attending a reception where according to the reporters it will be high society and celebrities galore. They will be going to New Orleans for sure to visit the area to see how the operations are coming along. We have some things going in our Senate at the current moment, so coverage has been sparse on the telly....

The US media is calling them Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla. Some are even calling her Princess Camilla. Princess Camilla has a nice sound. Is it appropiate to call her Duchess Camilla. Is that even correct.

Prince Charles is 'Prince Charles' only in Scotland. To be precise, he is 'HRH The Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay' there. Outside of Scotland he is 'HRH The Prince of Wales'. 'Princess Camilla' implies that Camilla is a daughter of the monarch. 'Duchess Camilla'? She is 'HRH The Duchess of Cornwall'.

Our media can be a little vexing when it comes to appropriate use of titles. I wish the research would be more thorough by our journalists.
I am waiting for some doofus reporter to slip and call him "His Majesty" or "His Highness". The latter drives drives me crazy as that is not even correct...fogetting to stick the word, Royal, in between. Now I am wondering if anyone will bow or curtsey tonight at the reception. It is a little past 4 in the afternoon there so it is coming up soon.

I agree. However incorrect Princess Camilla is, it has a nice ring to it. Diana was never Princess Diana but that was acceptable in common usage. If they're calling her Princess Camilla it can only be a good thing.

found this comment from the British roayls message board by "chav"
"But there's very little hullabaloo. The "Crowd" consists of about 10 pedestrians on one side of the street and 10-15 on the other corner. But it only looked like 4-5 of them were waiting for the UK couple - the rest were pissed off delivery boys whom the police would not let cross the street. The British & City officials (suits and ties) waiting for the couple outnumber both police and regular folk 3-1!!! Kinda sad. I'm interested to see the press photos of the visit to see if the photos actually reflect the low turnout for the event. " can anyone confirm that there isn't many ppl there to see them when compared with other royals going to US? are they really that bad?

There were several hundred waiting for the royal couple. Some had banners and pics and wanted to shake their hands. Others were on coffee breaks and got caught up in the exitment.

 That is not offending protocol in anyway. I would be floored (and she will not do it) if the First Lady curtseyed tomorrow. She is not Princess anything.....she is Duchess Camilla..or, Princess Charles if one must absolutely insist on using the prefix of Princess.

Diana was never Princess Diana but the world knew her as that. I think people might call her Princess Camilla in time. Is it right to use Duchess before a name. I know you can use Princess and Countess but I never heard duchess. Is Duke Andrew and Earl Edward right. I have hear Sophie referred to as Countess Sophie.

Her Majesty has even decreed the British people do not have to bow or curtsey to her. These are solid, clear, facts and not my personal opinion.
