Charles had another official event today:

The Prince of Wales meets parachutists during a demostration at the
Training School inside RAF Brize Norton. October 26, 2007. He was
reunited today with the man who taught him to parachute-jump 28
years ago. Charles returned to the Royal Air Force's Parachute Training
School at the Brize Norton base in Oxfordshire for the first time since 1978.

Thanks Iceflower. The links you posted don't work though. Here is the polfoto gallery. Prince Charles is very handsome in the RAF uniform. I love the military working sweaters. I used to love wearing my own. They are extremely warm. Also see here the Getty gallery from today's visit of Prince Charles.

CasiraghiTrio, I checked them a minute ago with another computer
than yesterday and they did work, but I renewed them nevertheless
Indeed the military working sweater looked very good on him, he looks
so different when he wears one..

find one video - a speech by Prince Charles. I think it is wonderful.

The video below is an address by HRH, the Prince of Wales on the occasion of The Partnering Event, 24-26th September 2006 (1).

I just wish Prince Charles visit to the RAF base had included a demonstration of some kind! Like a test for the parachutes.... I want to see him do some jumping (and I don't mean jumping jacks) as in out of a plane. But I guess it means too much liability, more than any of their jobs are worth?

I think he might be a little out of practise now and he probably didn't have the required 3 dozen forms signed, stamped and dated, I expect!

Will Prince Charles reveal the naked truth?

Will Prince Charles reveal the naked truth? | the Daily Mail

"The Prince has become something of an expert at obtaining funds for his pet projects from the world's wealthiest figures."

It's funny.

I have no idea what the article is trying to say.

The problem Charles is probable having, with regard to finding someone to do Camilla's portrait, is that there are so many people about who call themselves artists, then you have to ask who or what the picture is. Charles, quite rightly only wants the best for his Princess!

I think Jackie Chan is great, so that would be fun for all I should think. I know Charles did unarmed combat in the forces, but I don't think he has kept it up.
