Bully for Prince Charles! Wish his brother would do the same with his photography!

Prince Charles is a wonderful man who has done a lot of good for so many people.

Which brother?

[Dianas Ghost]

A long time ago, I heard Prince Andrew dabbled in photography though haven't heard much about it lately.

Andrew. He actually has a good eye and could shoot some lovely coffee table picture books for charity.
There was one picture of Fergie in a fur lined bomber jacket that was so very flattering. He definately has an eye.

In 2002 at Windsor Castle there was a display of photographs of the Queen during her 50 years as Queen. Some of the nicest ones, I thought, were the ones taken by Andrew.

I think the Queen always looked softer in the photographs by Andrew. What mother wouldnt look more endearing when looking at her own child than a stranger.

The Prince of Wales as President hosted a reception and dinner for supporters of the British Asian Trust
at Windsor Castle yesterday, February 13 and caught the attention with his jacket:


"Some of you think it is something to do with Valentines Day, I promise you it is absolutely nothing to do
with Valentines Day, it is actually called the Windsor Coat", he said, "It goes back to the days of my great
great great great grandfather King George III, who pinched the idea off Frederick the Great who used to
dress his staff in this particular combination. My ancestor thought it was such a good idea that he adopted
it and it became the Windsor Coat and it is only worn here at Windsor so I thought I would clear up any
suspicions you have in your minds."

will then help a further 100,000 young people to find work.

Charles is to be commended for the work he's doing to tackle what is is a huge problem for our country. He really is a leader in this area.

It just makes me laugh a little bit. People were saying that Haakon and Frederik work hard doing about 170 engagements per year. Charles does over 600 and has made a significant and lasting contribution to the improvement of our society. He gets lots of unfair criticism for his private life; but no other future monarch in Europe comes close to matching him.

Prince Charles is doing something that's very helpful and dignified, in my opinion. He's helping the young people find themselves. Admirable indeed. My respect for him is rising more and more.

High School in Middlesex to mark Teach First's 10th anniversary on February 22, 2012.

The couple met Teach First teachers representing every year of the decade-long partnership with the

I'm so happy that both, the Prince and the Duchess are passionate about education. You can see that both were genuinely interested in what was going on in that school.
