this is second visit for couple

[hornsen]

Wow, thats a surprise. It´s a short visit but, I´m looking very forward to it. After the last visit they said they want to come back. But I didn´t believe they would do it so fast.

[Avalon]

According to the official website of the Prince of Wales, The main themes of the visit are youth development, urban regeneration and environmental conservation.

It is interesting though that no events are listed in the Diary section between January 5th (when Camilla will open the Health Sciences Building at the University of Aberdeen Medical School) and January 27 (visit to the USA).

[hornsen]

I think they are on vacation at Birkhall. Camillas event will be a "time out".

[Skydragon]

Yes, they are at Birkhall at the moment. It is possible other events will come before the visit to the US, don't forget a lot of them are only announced a week in advance.

Twice to the US?!?! When are they going to come here? *pout*

ETA Maybe I need to write her a letter and tell her we'd love to see her

An Australian visit would require a great deal of PR work before hand, more so than for a trip to the US. My guess is we won't be seeing Camilla in Australia for some time yet.

If they want to come over here, I think it will be easier for them to organise if they do so before the next federal election.

If there were plans for a visit in the immediate future, I think you're right Roslyn

Depending on an election outcome, I see Camilla's first trip to Australia (since becoming a member of the royal family) when she is Princess Consort. But that's just my opinion.

I think it is a right decision for the Prince and the Duchess to go abroad at the time of the memorial concert. I never thought that they would be at the concert, Charles backs the wish of his sons to have this pop concert, but he and Camilla can not stay in front of the journalists and emotional Diana fans this day.
But i´m sure the couple will attend the memorial service.That is another kind of event and they are invited.

I think they will visit again the US because the Prince will receive this very important prize in New York, and he will continue his talks with Al Gore.
The questions about environmental things are more than ever near to his heart.
But i think the couple will go abroad to other and longer visits in spring and autumn like the year before.
Germany could be a good place for a visit...

You´re right Skydragon! I just read on the Pow website about a new engagement on Thursday 18th :

The Duchess will present certificates to children during a visit to the Hayfield Riding Centre, Aberdeen.

I think there will follow more duties. Maybe with her husband...or is he only a holidaymaker in Scotland...

I should think the phone lines are very busy, as is his pen. There is also the garden to discuss, tend and make arrangements for (and all the forums to read)
