As a huge animal lover myself I appreciate that. But is that enough to justify a priviliged royal life these days...?! I fully understand The King´s relieve about his younger brother´s low profiled role - but is that a life for a grown up, elderly man?! When I watch the Prince he occurse to me like a loose canon and one wonders what happens next (after using the mobile phone during a state occasion, pretending to sleep or remaining seated while everyone else stands during a march past of a military contingent...)
Obviously Laurent has not enough to do and a real purpose in life is absent. His obvious way to compensate his lack of selfesteem (or revenge for this meaningless existence of a third born Royal ?!) seems to provocate and embarrass his "working" family members, especially his elder brother...
