On the 29 the Prince will visit the company Vitacress Portugal in Odemira, heading to évora afterwards. That same afternoon he will inaugurate the requelification of the Monserrate Park in Sintra.
On the 30, he will meet the prime-minister, José Sócrates.
 
While in Portugal, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will visit Évora and the Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval. They will be received by Prince Charles-Phillipe of Orléans, Duke of Anjou, and his wife, née Diana Álvares Pereira de Melo, 11th Duchess of Cadaval, who owns the palace.

Lovely pictures.

Ironically, the weather in London is lovely - bright and sunny, with temperatures around 15-17 degrees, whilst Portugal seems wet and dreary!

uhm, you said London then you must say Lisbon not Portugal, cause the weather and temperature from Lisbon is not the same in the whole country, especially on the South Portugal which was Sunny today.

New videos must be aired at the 8h00 newscasts.

Portuguese and their name translations :lol:. Principe Carlos does have a nice ring to it

Well, we don't translate all the names... Princes Harry and William don't get translation (to Henrique or Guilherme, for example). But Charles is translated as Carlos and the Queen is also translated as Isabel :D

Yes, they were unlucky with the weather today... just a couple of days ago, it was bright and sunny. I've seen the weather forecast and the sun is returning only on Friday. Temperature is mild though... 12-17 degrees in Lisbon.

Carlos e Camilla 'informais' na visita à Escola Naval [com fotogaleria] - Sol

After the meeting with the President, the Prince of Wales was received by the Chief of the Army.

After the military honors, Charles and Camilla met the students of the Navy, who found them very "informal" and "relaxed".

Prince Charles then headed to the first floor of the school to deliver a diploma to the best student of the English course.

At 17h00, the Prince boarded the school-ship Sagres and signed the book of honor of the vessel.

The Prince left the ship holding an umbrella, looked at the cameras that and told the journalists: "You got a bit wet".

Unfortunately, as I expected there were no tiaras! Or any serious jewelery for that matter, to bad! Although the Duchess looks very good in that blue dress.

The prince arrived in Évora at 12:30 and was received by the Mayor and the municipal executive.

Charles then visited the EDP project InovGrid, a smart electric grid that's been used in Évora (InovCity), since April 2010. EDP project includes the installation of 31,000 smart meters to allow real time communication between customers and the company.

The royal visit to this World Heritage town also included a walk to Praça do Giraldo and to the Cathedral, where he was received by the vicar-general of the archdiocese.

The picture-text reads Prince Charles and Cmilla Parker-Bowles. Is that technically correct? I mean, she isn't really Mrs. Parker Bowles anymore, isn't she?

She is no longer Mrs PB, but certain members of the press do not realise that.
 
It is strange to refer her as Camilla Parker Bowles, but I have seen it before in the Spanish and Portuguese press when the Countess of Wessex has been referred to as Sophie Rhys-Jones.
