Four months? Was it worth the trial?

Quote:
The PI got 6 months. |
Four month in jail:clap:, not enough, but some time to think about what he had done...if he has a rest of moral standards.

I must admit I am glad that he was actually sentences. Let it be a warning for the Media (paparazzi) in general.

Rattray murder shocks Prince Charles
Britain's Prince Charles expressed shock on Saturday at the murder of South African historian David Rattray, a royal official said. iafrica.com | news | sa news Rattray murder shocks Prince Charles |
Quote:
I never heard about David Rattray before. Was he really a good friend of the Prince or only somebody he knows slightly for many years? |
Quote:
IOL "Young said Rattray shared a close friendship with the British royals, especially Prince Charles, who visited him at Fugitives' Drift Lodge with his son Prince Harry" |
Prince Charles' shock as best friend is murdered
The Prince of Wales was shocked and stunned, after hearing that one of his best friends had been gunned down and killed by robbers at his home in the South African bush. Historian and hotelier David Rattray and his wife Nicky were attacked in their farmhouse when six men burst in demanding money. Prince Charles was told about Mr Rattray's death as he commenced a two-day visit to New York and Philadelphia with the Duchess of Cornwall. A Clarence House spokesman, who is accompanying the Royal couple, said: The Prince of Wales just heard about it and, needless to say, he is shocked and stunned. "They knew each other very well and had met on a number of occasions in South Africa and the UK." Later, the Prince personally telephoned Mr Rattray's wife from America to offer his condolences. |
No Charles, but his bodyguards press on with £8,000 ski jaunt

CHARLES GETS GO AHEAD FOR MINI MANSION
Since Prince Charles bought the run-down 900-acre Harewood Park estate in Herefordshire seven years ago, speculation has been rife he is planning to build a first home for Prince William and his future wife in its grounds. Now the Prince has been given the go-ahead to start work on a six-bedroom mansion in the spring, which would no doubt suit rural-loving Wills and his girlfriend Kate Middleton down to the ground. An artist's impression of what the eco-friendly property on the Harewood Estate could look like once it's finished - picture |
Prince backs Wales music scholarships
A new scholarship scheme aimed at helping Wales's most outstanding young musical talent, funded by HRH The Prince of Wales and The Arts Council of Wales, is launched today. The Prince of Wales's Advanced Study Awards in Music will award a maximum of five annual scholarships of up to £8,000. Prince Charles is actually a 'hologrammatic visitor from Cyberspace'! Prince Charles hit back at critics who accused him of 'green hypocrisy' for flying to America with a 20-strong entourage to collect an environmental award by joking that he was actually a 'hologrammatic visitor from Cyberspace'. |
I could watch some parts of the event in New York, where the Prince received the award on TV.
And i think it was very sweet when Meryl Streep told in her speech that she wants to merry the Prince of Wales when she was a little girl. And Charles answered in his own speech that only to hear this statement makes the trip worth for him...:wub: |

Its just too bad that they visited the US twice since their wedding and The Prince of Wales didn't even bother coming up north to present his wife to his future subjects. After all, she might one day be Queen Consort of Canada.

'Stop using my Three Feathers'
PRINCE CHARLES has launched an astonishing clampdown on the use of the famous Three Feathers symbol. |
Charles is off to my old school on the 8th and my sister's been chosen to meet him in a line-up of 10 kids from her yeargroup. I am seething and may well have to committ sibling-a-cide.

If you manage to dispose of your sister and take her place, be sure to give a wave to the photographers! :D

Congratulations to your sister BeatrixFan:flowers: ,maybe you can be the 11th pupil in the group and shake hands with HRH...;)

Charles accused of meddling in politics
Prince Charles has been accused of meddling in politics again by promoting alternative remedies around Westminster. Charles accused of meddling in politics | News | This is London - - - - - - - I think we need Charles to interfere on many issues. |
I just wish when he does interfere that the people in his public relations stable would be more wary of his image to the future. I think most of the time his ideas are quite spot on but the way that it his ideas are communicatiated to the public always seems to cast him in a bad light.

Charles promotes holistic health, certain political figures sell honours. Boy that Charles is a bad man. :rolleyes:

Thank you for the pics iceflower!:flowers:
A brave Prince is smiling there today! |
Charles doesn't really need a wig but I wonder if he would consider wearing one. I wear one all the time now and I have to say, it's so much easier than dealing with your own hair. Then again, maybe he is wearing a wig and it's deceptively thin.
|
It could be a fill-in toupee.
Maybe he has as much hair as Prince Albert of Monaco but with a little Donald Trump-like rearranging, he ends up more like Hugh Laurie (who incidentally wears a piece while on "House" but not in real life). |
Prince Charles lets his hair down as he jives to a spot of reggae

She probably does, along with a sore throat, usually do to an over inflated endotracheal cuff. A pretty common event. Hopefully it won't last for long. :flowers: |
Quote:
When Camilla is going better day by day, and she is at home at Highgrove, i think we will see next week a much more happier Prince doing his duties. |
I don't want to drudge up any C/C/D drama but I never saw photos of Charles looking so unhappy leaving Diana while she was in hospital.
Which is why I think Charles is very much in love with Camilla even now. My Opinion only. |
Can't wait to see the pics from today's visit to Dagenham. It'll be wierd to see Charles at my old school.

Quote:
I think the press is removed from Camilla´s hospital. No pics from Charles or family. |
Of course it is. I'm going mad. I've got the 8th on my perpetual calendar not the 7th!

Prince who can´t help interfering
Prince who can't help interfering | News | This is London _____________________________________________ I´m glad that i can´t watch Channel 4. My blood pressure is far to high only when i read this article, but i coudn´t bear to hear more rubbish things from Simon Barnes on TV.:bang: I admit the Prince because he tells his views in public and gets not tired to talk about social injustices, environmental problems...etc. ( And he does not only talk, he works to change things.) |
In the article milla Ca has posted, all the 'worthies' are saying IF he doesn't change when he becomes monarch..... Charles has already said he knows he will be unable to comment on anything when that happens.
Charles has never said he is not taking sides, just that he does not side with one political party or another! As for getting a disgruntled ex employee to comment, well, she is hardly going to say anything favourable is she. Ex employees who have lost a claim for unfair dismissal tend to seize every opportunity to 'get at' the person who sacked them, for not being able to do her job!:rolleyes: Then the author 'exposes' common and successful business practise, what do they want The Duchy to do, run at a massive loss, so they can point out that Charles has not appointed very good managers to look after it? Let the tenants live there free of charge... It's a business, not a charity! :wacko: |

I actually watched the programme and was not surprised at the way 'facts' were distorted or omitted by the reporter. The calibre of the people against Charles was laughable, Elaine Day, sacked for not doing her job properly as I recall, ex(?) MP Hattersley, 2 declared republican MP's. A professor who it seems decided against telling anyone in authority of his disagreement with what everyone else in the report had said, but contacted a paper and was rebuked for his breach of a confidentiality agreement. Even the way they presented the replies from Clarence House to their questions was a hatchet job on Charles.
:bang: :bang: I agree with his views on architecture, agriculture, with his business sense, that complimentary medicines can save the NHS money and be used together for the benefit of the patient. Even the 'story' of the family that gave up a house on the Scilly Isles that was then decorated and let for holidays was not the full story. |
