Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall Current Events 1: April 9, 2005-May 2005

[Ennyllorac]

So i think maybe this year the Duchess of Cornwall will attend Trooping the Colour too.

I would assume so since she is now a member of the Royal Family.

Camilla postpones first gig

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has postponed her first solo royal engagement, Prince Charles’ office announced.

Camilla, who married Prince Charles on April 9, had planned to visit a hospital in southern England on April 25, but the trip has been put back until sometime after the May 5 national election, a spokesman for Clarence House said late Saturday. The spokesman denied that Camilla was facing nerves, as some media reports have suggested. He said it would be “insensitive” for a senior member of the royal family to visit a hospital before the election, in which the running of Britain’s health service is a major issue. “The suggestion that in some way she has some kind of nerves is absolutely 100 percent completely wrong,” the spokesman said. “Going to a hospital when health is one of the key election issues was considered inappropriate during the election period.”

Camilla, a patron of the National Osteoporosis Society, had planned to visit Southampton General Hospital on England’s southern coast. Charles’ office said a new date for the visit has not been set.

Charles and Camilla married on April 9 in Windsor. They carried out their first royal engagement as a married couple by opening a play park Thursday in Scotland, where they were spending their honeymoon. afp

...The Archbishop acted as his own consience told him he should. Had he wished to be "bought" Charles & Camilla would have had the full blown church wedding.

I see the irony here according to your interpretation. First, Archbishop acted on his own, Not based on the doctrine of his church, and as I know the rules are all over the place, some priests do others won't. What do we need churches for? Second, even if this Archbishop guy would like to perform a church wedding, he couldn't because everyeyes are watching. If he could get away with, you think he would not do future king a favor? So what is it? To do or not to do?

prince charles backs endangered albatross

LONDON - Heir to the throne Prince Charles is to support a global project to help safeguard the future of endangered albatrosses.

Charles will attend a Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) dinner on Wednesday to raise money to send marine specialists to South Africa and South America to train fisherman on how best to prevent seabird deaths.

The UK-based RSPB said more than 300,000 seabirds, including 100,000 albatrosses as well as hundreds of thousands of sharks and turtles, are believed to be killed each year due to longline fishing.

"The albatross may be the ultimate test of whether or not, as a species ourselves, we are serious about conservation: capable of co-existing on this planet with other species," Prince Charles said.

Nineteen of 21 species of albatrosses face extinction.

Operation Ocean Task Force will deploy the experts in South Africa, Uruguay, Brazil and Peru.

"Those countries have longline fleets hunting tuna and the much-prized Patagonia toothfish," said an RPSB spokeswoman.

"They throw out huge longlines with thousands of hooks on them which sit on the surface. The birds are lured down on to them and either drown or die through their injuries."

Record-breaking yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur will join Charles at the dinner.

"The albatross is one of the most amazing birds in existence. I hope that we still have the opportunity now to save these magnificent creatures before it is too late," she said.

The birds are famed for their large wingspan and ability to make long ocean journeys. The wandering albatross has a wingspan of up to four metres -- the broadest in the world.

During the Prince's visit to New Zealand in March he visited the Taiaroa Head Royal Albatross Visitor Centre on the tip of the Otago Peninsula.

The conservation of the albatross has long been a cause close to Prince Charles' heart and he gave an emotional speech imploring the need to care for and cultivate the birds' survival. "If they go it would be as if one's heart was torn out," he said.

His speech followed a lengthy walkabout on the reserve where he was able to have a close encounter with a nesting bird and her chick.

The Prince said he had long been looking forward to visiting the centre, which his sister, the Princess Royal, opened almost 15 years ago.
