Charles makes a drive for green motoring

The Prince of Wales was happy to get behind the wheel to promote new eco-cars yesterday. But, unlike his motorbike-loving elder son Prince William, he drew the line at straddling two wheels.

A video message by HRH The Prince of Wales to open the University of Cambridge “Islam and Muslims in the world today” Conference

It is a great sadness that I cannot be with you to participate in – and benefit from – this Conference on “Islam and Muslims in the World Today”.
However, I particularly wanted to take this opportunity to say a few words to preface the vitally important topics which you will be discussing over the next two days. I also wanted to express appreciation to the Prime Minister for making time, before he steps down, to organize this exchange of views by so senior and experienced a group of speakers......

Llwynywormwood what a wonderful word, how does a "suthaaanooooor" like me pronounce it lilwinnywormwood? its cool the POW has a home in Wales now, alto it seems odd, surely the RF has palaces in Wales, i take it this is his first personal place, am i correct? he looks so happy and relaxed these days, it nice to see. i'm glad they were so warmly welcomed and enjoyed themselves.
hmmmmm about those three cravats in assorted colours, intended for Charles and his sons, do men still wear those? i mean you know in the real world, not the royal world sweet nontheless

Neither the royal family nor the Prince of Wales do own any palace in Wales.

The Duchy of Cornwall is renovating a farm for him to use, however, according to the Telegraph and the BBC. I guess it will be a base for them to use when in Wales, and then the Duchy will lease it out for holiday takers, right?

Yes, that's right, it is the first and only Welsh property Charles (or should I say the Duchy) owns at the moment.
