It's good to see that Camilla's out of her cast; I have to say I have a whole new appreciation for her since the Sarah Ferguson scandal.
 
It's always a pleasure :flowers:

:previous: That has got to be scary. If there is any doubt out there that the BRF have enemies and have need of the Royal Protection Squad, Anne, The Princess Royal, can certainly set them straight. :sad:

Sounds similar to the incident in Sydney a number of years ago more than Anne's attempted kidnapping.

The royals know they are targets and they themselves are also trained how to deal with this sort of thing (or so we were told when the guy brandished the gun at Charles on the podium some years ago).

Hum apparently we must be very careful with the facts :

From the article's comments section :


"This story misrepresents what actually happened. The man in question is autistic and had become separated from his mother in the food tent. Special Branch officers instructed the police to remove the man as they thought he was behaving suspiciously. The man panicked and tried to attract his mothers attention and get back to her at which time the police, not identifying his real intentions, forcibly restrained him and removed him from the area. After the incident the police recognized that the man had mental health issues and he was released into the care of another relative. At no time was any threat intended or made towards Charles. Those are the facts and not the sensationalized distortion that sells newspapers."
 
See the mirror has twisted the story to make it sell more, and left out some important details.
It is a shame that this boy was seperated from his parents, then treated like that by the police.

Not to disagree with you as if indeed this was the case the poor victim must have been terrified.

However, the response is generated by the times in which we live and such a case may be seen "in retrospect" to have been OTT. However, is there any other supporting evidence on the above rebuttal.?

Apparently not, just few mentions of the "incident" in local papers ...

Now wait for the stories of false smiles and laughter for the public - which the gullible public will buy into unfortunately, as so many of the general public believe that Charles should be miserable for ever.
 
:previous:
Yes, we had exactly the same discussion of their life of misery a couple of years ago. :deadhorse:
