Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall Current Events 11: January-February 2006

[BeatrixFan]

Ah I see. I think it's accepted that Charles is very much good King material. He keeps in touch with all Cabinet Ministers, offers his support and advice, speaks on issues he feels strongly about without being too controversial, has a good manner with the public and generally is intelligent and caring.

 

[corazon]

exact. I try to explain that many people not want charles like king for charles's own reason, not for diana.

 

[Elspeth]

Let's get back on topic, please. And let's also tone down the rhetoric and perhaps cut a bit of slack for people trying to communicate in a language other than their native tongue.

If people really, really want to hash out the infernal triangle yet again, there are other places to do it. This isn't it.

Thank you.

I hope Prince Charles enjoys his visit.

So he'll be visiting a cafe? Pity he isn't taking Camilla along - she seems to like sampling the local foods when she's out and about.

At least it has changed since I was last there around 1986. I think even Camilla would have struggled with some of the specialities that used to be on offer. They did however serve a rather nice Bakewell Tart.

Thanks for those fanletizia, it looks as if he enjoyed himself although he looked a bit puzzled in the last picture.

Skydragon,
Thanks for the link to Blarneys Today. I learned something new and that was the Prince's Trust loan. I applaud any efforts from the royal family to help man better themselves. In reading the article, I was really impressed that the trust offered a low interest rate. What was really impressive was the fact that Nicola was able to repay the loan and start a "chain".
Again, I'm more and more imprsessed by Prince Charles. Looking forward to Charles and Camilla on the throne of Great Britain.

From the crowds that apparently turned out, it seems he is more popular than some people think.

Prince Charles (C) shares a joke with the President of Mali; Amadou Toumani Touré (R) and Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Ali, President of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) in London, 26 January 2006. The Prince adressed delegates at the IDB conference where the organisation celebrates its 30th anniversary.

I think Charles is doing some really great work with the Prince's Trust and his other activities. It's especially pleasing to see him so interested and eager to learn about other religions and cultures, something which is quite important in our globalised world, but which I think more royals could really take a greater interest in.

 

[Royal Fan]

I Also think Charles has done great work with the trust Im really starting to like him more and more

 

[Avalon]

I certainly like Prince Charles. He is really concerned by the state of his people and tries to help them as much as he can, and that's already something.
I am not a Brit, but if I were (and I love Britain so much that sometimes I feel like being one), I would love to have HRH Prince Charles as my king one day. I am sure he will be an excellent King.

They both look so interested in the people, animals and children they are meeting. They also look as happy apart as they do together.
It really is wonderful to see!

Yes it is difficult to walk or cycle in towns but, it is twice as dangerous in the country. People are buying up houses in the country and then because there is very little traffic, think that every road is a race track. and that they can continue the habits they employed in the towns.

Terrible idea to see the horses

I can't help but wish, for her own sake, someone had advised Camilla to stay away from the horses with the press around. The nasty captions that people can/could come up with regarding the photos of her face to face with the horses are a disaster waiting to happen.

From newscom

1.- A letter from Camilla Parker-Bowles to Royal chef, Carolyn Robb, reads: "What a gastronomic feast you and Chris laid on for my birthday party. I have never seen so many people gobbling beef!" Robb, who was a key member of the heir to the throne's staff, began working as Charles and Princess Diana's personal chef in 1989 and taught Princes William and Harry how to cook. When Camilla became chatelaine of Highgrove she worked for her too, witnessing at first-hand her impact on Charles and his domestic life. The Duchess also asked her to do the catering for her son Tom Parker-Bowles's wedding.

2.- Memo to Ex Royal chef CAROLYN ROBB from Prince Charles (written left handed after an accident).

Why should she stay away from creatures she clearly loves. I thought the pictures of her with the horses were fabulous!
It is worth remembering that it is only nasty people who come up with nasty captions after all and I wonder how many of them would bear close scrutiny..
The children seemed really excited by her visit, the animals, as always loved the attention .

It seems 2006 is fully booked.
