Now are these Gurkhas allowed to immigrate to England? I know that Joanna Lumley was fighting hard for Gurkha rights.

After I think 4 years of service, they are allowed to immigrate to the UK, finally! Many thanks to the fabulous Joanna Lumley. I'll never understand how Joanna Lumley hasnt become a Dame yet, if you ask me, she should be given a title as well for simply being so awesomly wonderfull! But Im biased.
 
Prince Charles, Prince of Wales during a visit to St Mellitus College on
February 12, 2010 in London, England.

St Mellitus College is The Church of England's newest theological training
college, founded by the Bishops of London and Chelmsford as a resource
for London and Essex. The Prince's visit was an opportunity for him to
meet people connected with the College, as well as members of the
community who use St Paul's, including youth workers and school children
and members of other organisations associated with the Church of England
within the Diocese of London.

At first I couldn't decide which one was my favourite of these great
pics, but then I've seen the muffin pic..:D

This exhibition was on the news, and it featured some scenes from the film The Young Victoria.
Looks like a wonderful exhibition, glad Charles went. :)
Beatrice should of gone too.
 
The reason Prince Charles attended the private view for the exhibition is that he is Chair of the Royal Collection Trustees & as such almost all thee trustee meetings and many of the exhibition openings as well as holding receptions for the staff. He isn't just attending it because it coincides with a film that has just won an Oscar for costume.

Jonathan Dimbleby quotes a royal relative as saying that Prince Charles didn't discover the marvellous collection of Leonardo drwings in the Royal Library at Windsor until he was 14-15 as nobody in his famlily had bothered to mention or show them to him. He didn't take up painting in watercolour until he was in his 20s. At school he did ceramics.
 
BBC News - Prince Charles visits British troops in Afghanistan

Prince Charles visits British troops in Afghanistan

The Prince of Wales has visited Afghanistan to meet British troops and thank them for their service. Prince Charles laid a wreath at a memorial to those who have died in Afghanistan and visited a hospital where many of the wounded receive care.

"The Prince of Wales has been trying to come to Afghanistan for some time and this was a chance for him to meet the troops and thank them personally for their service.
The trip has been kept a closely guarded secret for security reasons and involved heavily armed troops on the ground and helicopter gunships overhead.
Prince Charles has a close relationship with a number of military regiments and writes personal letters to bereaved families.
Both of his sons have been to Afghanistan, with Prince Harry having served on active duty in 2008.
He paid tribute to what he called the extraordinary courage of the troops and spoke of a debt of gratitude felt by all."
