Visit to the US - January 2007

[libra65]

Unfortunately, Prince Charles & Camilla are coming in to Philly on our coldest day since 2005. Today's high will be 23 degrees Fahrenheit with wind gusts of 20 to 30 miles an hour. Wind chills are around 0. Last night the city called a 'code blue'. This means police and homeless advocates go out and round up all homeless people and take them to shelters or the new code blue cafes wheather they want to go or not. They are made to stay there till the doors open at 6AM. Hopefully this will save some lives.

After today. the temps are due to go back to the 30 to 40 degree range.

Excellent articles, Skydragon.Thanks a lot!
I am looking forward to their US visit and just hope that they will have time for down under some time or visit China.

Indeed. I hope the Duchess is going to treat us to a few glittering outfits on this trip.

Hopefully we'll get some nice pics of the ball -- just have to wait and see. And I'm not very good at waiting.

The best coverage (IMO) of their 2005 tour was by CBS, esp when they were in California - including unedited video footage. So far on this trip, CBS is doing the same thing. CBS 3 - Philadelphia's Source For Breaking News, Weather, Traffic and Sports

TRH do not have any public appearances this evening. They were wisked away to the Four Seasons Hotel upon their arrival at Philadelphia International Airport. I live/work within 2 miles from that Hotel and am subject to numerous street closures because of security concerns.

Tomorrow AM they visit Independence Hall, followed by the National Constitution Center, and a tour of Philadelphia's fabulous "wall murals" (F.Y.I. the Philadelphia Mural Arts project headed by Jane Golden is fantastic!); tomorrow evening, TRH will attend Philadelphia's most glamorous event of the year -- The Academy Ball -- celebrating the 175th Anniversary of Philadelphia's Academy of Music. They will be hosted by Leonore Annenberg. The "after party" is in the Bellevue ... a building in which I work (drats ... closed to us mere mortals for security reasons ... why wouldn't I go the work on a Saturday night?)

Sunday morning they will attend services at the Arch Street Presbyterian Church which includes a Chapel to St. David (or some other connection to Wales!).

All in all ... a wonderful treat to have royals so close to me!

Cheers!

On Your Toes, Blokes, 2 Highnesses Coming — Charles and Camilla

It has been just over a year since their Wellington boots last sloshed about on these shores, and it’s not as though that trip — billed as their first official overseas tour since being married in April 2005 — came off so smashingly that they, or an adoring American public, ought to be crying out for another.

I do believe this is a 2006 pic, not a 2007 one.

[hornsen]

Yes, I just saw a CBS-coverage. They arrived in darkness and there was only a paparazzi-video from their hotel. Camilla wore a dark coat.

[BeatrixFan]

As I thought. So she isn't wearing the blue suit. I didnt think she would.

Presents perhaps ?

[milla Ca]

Thank you for the nice pics !
Camilla looks great, and it seems that the couple had a very warm welcome in Philadelphia!
Does anybody know the brooch the Duchess wears at her coat?
I hope we will see some pics from the academy ball this evening.

Probably all those little essentials you need on any trip.

[BeatrixFan]

Well, the Duchess looks gorgeous and I love her brooch.
