The Prince of Wales Current Events 12: April 2013 - June 2019

Charles does work hard. He's the British equivalent of the Tasmanian Devil cartoon. A true "Action Man".

Or the Energizer Bunny.

I find it difficult to criticize Charles even when it's warranted, but it's moments like this that convince me of what an essentially decent, gracious man he is.

He will make a great king when it's his time.

Clearly the PoW is having a busy few days. Having done the tour around Europe, then to France for the Vimy memorial, and now Cumbria.

Hilarious. The video is from last year for the 400th anniversary of his death.

In my college days studying Shakespeare always wished he was born a day later. Would be cool to share a birthday with the bard.

Just a note for people who don't know - The Duchy of Cornwall actually owns The Oval Cricket Ground, even though it is in London.

Many people think that the Duchy owns Cornwall without realising that it owns land all over the country.

The team that plays at The Oval - Surrey County Cricket Club - have as their emblem the Prince of Wales feathers and Charles, as Prince of Wales/Duke of Cornwall, is the patron of the Surrey CCC. This is a traditional patronage - like the Queen being patron of the Middlesex CCC that plays at Lords - the 'home of cricket' also in London.

It was for that reason that Charles was the royal who launched the Champions Trophy. This tournament is the second most important one-day tournament in the world behind the World Cup. Both are every four years - alternating.
