The Prince of Wales Current Events 11: November 2009-March 2013

That story is truely lovely, but the DM has still managed to, IMO, put a sarcastic spin on it.

But for once a lot of the comments are positive about these actions (of course there are the negative ones but many see the good in Charles that the DM would like to think doesn't exist.)

I think that it's about time for positive comments! Good for Charles for finally loosening up...

I found it heartwarming also that he did this. What amazes me even more is that he signed it Charley 2010. In a way he honored this family with breaking protocol but at the same time, he made it very very special as I would imagine NO one in the public has seen his signature as Charley.

ETA... After posting my last post and actually glancing over the autograph aforementioned, I wondered perhaps if the reporter got it wrong and the "Y" actually was a s with a flourish after it. So.. being me, I go looking and I found this... what Charles' handwriting says is in the works for him.

I know its trivial, but looking how he DOES usually sign his name and his handwriting, I'm convinced that he DID write Charley 2010.

That's true, roseroyal The reuters caption described it as "greeted by a man
in a Santa Claus suit", just to make sure it's not been the real one I guess..

 

[udyusa]

[roseroyal]

@ Ice- LOL!

Only because I have a buddy whos totally into Laurel and Hardy. I sent him a copy of the picture. Now he wants to know who those actors are.

 

[udyusa]

I would be interested in knowing , as well. They certainly looked the part!

 

[roseroyal]

Graeme Hardy and Jeremy New-comb Smith

 

[udyusa]

Thank you very much, roseroyal! And, Welcome to the RF.

 

[roseroyal]

You are welcome... my favorite actor is British, and is a celeb patron of the NFA so I wanted to know anyway Turned out it was not him but... Thanks for the welcome!

I love the look on Prince Charles' face in pic #2. The young man is certainly very tall and it appears that the prince almost needs a step stool to pin on his medal... lol

And I'm sure Prince Charles did not waste the opportunity for one of
his special jokes Would be nice to know what he has said..

 

[udyusa]

I would have loved to be there! I would bet it would be priceless...

Wonderful pictures!! Is it just me or does it really seem that no matter what the occasion or event, there is always a picture of Charles with a glint in his eye and a smile on his face? He seems to be one happy man for sure!

 

[udyusa]

Indeed he does! I am loving him in the navy top-coat... it sure beats his old camel one...
