Wonderful photos! I especially enjoyed the photo of The Duchess playing table tennis--Barnardo's is lucky to have her. And, she looked fantastic as well---

I would so wish that in future she and the prince take William and Harry along when they do kid-related charity engagements - it would have done so much good if William was there as well. Or there must be engagement offers aplenty which cannot be accepted by the prince and Camilla but would be suitable for William or Harry. Why can't they do something for other kids and young adults when life gave them so much?
 
Jo, well and thoughtfully said. I would love to see either or both of the boys accompany Charles and Camilla on more engagements--especiallly kid related. I know that they both did some work during their gap year, but they begin doing more in their own country as well. They are very privileged and should begin to undertake more engagements and roles--especially Prince William. I would like to see him in Wales a bit more, since he is in line to become the next PoW; it would be fitting for him to endear himself to the Welsh people.

It remains to be seen whether Charles makes him a Prince of Wales and whether the people of Wales want one. He is not exactly flavour of the month because he chose to support England over Wales. It is entirely possible that the title will not be used after Charles becomes King. :flowers:

Lovely pictures milla Ca, thank you for posting them!

I agree Jo, they ( specially William) should have more official duties. And engagements with kids or young adults would be great. But i don´t think Charles and Camilla should take the young Princes with them or ´give´ them their engagements. Two men aged 23 and 25 ( with so many helping hands by their sides) are old enough to look for their own charity work and duties. They should find their own ways (i hope...:rolleyes:).

Thank you Avalon, she looks much better, especially with the camo scarf tucked in! :D They seem to be making a great deal out of the missing Charles and Harry, they forget that Harry does work occasionally.

I remember when Camilla joined Charles at this event for the first time ( the press was full of pics the next day) and now she did it solo for the second time.
And like every year many nice, touching pics:

Thank you milla Ca. :flowers: What lovely pictures, it looks as if they all enjoyed themselves. :flowers:

The tree is fantastic. The kids clearly enjoyed that the bearskin-hat soldier added some ornaments. Maybe the kids made some of the ornaments themselves. Did someone give The Duchess a teddy bear?
 
Thank you for articles and pictures, everyone! :flowers:

This tradition of inviting children from Hospice to Clarence House is one of the best ideas of the Prince and the Duchess. It's so great they give the children (and adults) something to cheer about right before the Christmas. :)
If I'm not mistaken, this tradition is already 4 or 5 years old, isn't it? They invited children to the Clarence House at least 1 year prior to their engagement, of that I am sure, but could it be a longer tradition?

What a wonderful tradition! You really have to commend Charles & Camilla for keeping this up, I can't think of a better memory for them than decorating the future King's christmas tree. BRAVO!!!
 
I also think that this is just a great tradition. I sure that it really is a special treat that they will always remember.
 
I must say that i always like Diana, but i'm surender myself to Camilla, she's wonderful!

Sadly, many of the children will probably not be here next year. :verysad: I'm sure Camilla gave them all a wonderful time and made them feel extra special. :flowers:

YEAH! Look on the last paragraph of the article!
As a thank you the group presented Prince Charles' wife with a teddy bear - which their hostess said she would give to her two-month-old granddaughter, Lola, her son Tom Parker Bowles' child.

When I first saw the teddy bear I thought that it would be so sweet if she gives it to Lola! :wub:
 
I just love this tradition for the little children--and Camilla looks so happy right alongside them, decorating the tree. As a child, we all love to decorate the Christmas Tree, and having this special memory is something that they and their families will remember. I think it is very touching.

Can I be totally shameless and plug one of Camilla's charities? The National Osteoporosis Society has long been a cause close to Her Royal Highness's heart and of course it was the illness that claimed the life of her mother Rosemary. As today is my birthday (thanks for the emails, pms etc!) I decided that as it's my 21st I should choose a charity to take membership of and give something to a worthy cause rather than selfishly wallow in gifts! So today I took out membership of the National Osteoporosis Society. It's only £15/$30 a year and as well as supporting the charity you get all kinds of goodies which keep you informed of ways to prevent and help osteoporosis. Nobody's ever had the illness in my family but as you all know I adore Camilla so I'm following her example. Please do the same if you can!
