that shoe story of Camilla sounds bad, and it is a recent one too.
when I told someone that I liked Charles and all he did I was told it was all carefully managed PR. The Duchy stuff do not harm him financially nor morally (the cookies and his his raspberry and lime jam are great
). Being involved in farming responsibly and having the power to do it would make anyone feel good. So I think he is sincere.
His flying concorde to see a ballet is I suppose normal for him and a small group of people so does not
me and that must have been long ago.
Sweet detail about his showing his face to the second class.
(I remember someone telling me that she told a little girl to go inside her house while she was playing because Juliana, the Dutch queen was coming to visit. I always thought it is part of their duty to be looked at esp. by children
)
