Yeah, I reckon so     I think it's to do with compassion....something his mother has taught him obviously

I really and truly have never found a hat to suit me.

He has the knack of knowing how to do the right thing and has that common touch. But at the same time he is aware of royal protocol.

But you get a nippin' heid.

(Translates as sore head).

silly harpist woman on BBC promoting herself.

I was wondering who she is ... I've just got in from a bit of a celebration

Never mind Soozy, you can stick with the fascinators.

There goes that accent again!  You and Scotty and Miss S and anyone else that I haven't seen    I love it!

  Hope you had a good time

The view from that old bomber plane was brilliant.

And Kate said "perfect formation" when the jets flew over.

I'm loving re-watching the highlights;  catching things I missed first time around.

PS.  I'm a no hat person - and even less of a fascinator one.

uh huh

Nice choice of song on BBC highlights

What a great choice of song on the BBC montage!

Snap Pam!

What about a clasp or a kirby grip?

I'm looking forward to the comments in tomorrow's papers re Bea and Eug's choice of attire

Meowww!!

I had to turn it over Soozy...   I can't listen to that song.    One of my son's classmates who died from from Muscular Dystrophy (aged 10) chose it for her funeral...    it still makes me cry! 

(I suppose i could have watched it with the sound down....   I have only just thought of that...  but I panicked & told Mr D to turn it over)

Ok...  this post is a bit mood hoovery...     no sad smilies or anything required...    just saying (besides... the little girl that died would not be happy about sad faces...  she banned sad faces from her funeral)

Hmm, forgive my cynicism!

Prince Charles was presented like that back in the day.  He could break dance and liked the Three Degrees! He was down with discotheque set and went jogging on Bondi Beach.  He was caring and sharing and talked to his plants.  He even presented kid's story show, Jackanory.  Diana apparently advised him to wear single breasted suits, not like the stuffy old generation of royals.  What a nice bloke!

I said it before earlier, but I'm surprised that Wills isnt wearing a ring. Is there any reason for this does anyone know?

I thought so too (and I'm not that keen on TT..! ).

Wonder what Phil and Harry were laughing about on the balcony.

That's mischief in stereo in the making....

I'm sure someone said he's just not keen on wearing jewellery, except his watch.

Oh blimey Ditty!

I ain't Shirley Temple..!  

Anyway, I thought Prince Charles used to go jogging so checked it out. 

Came across this on another forum and nicked it, for everyone's amusement - or not

Prince Charles decided to take up jogging.
Every day, he'd jog past a hooker standing on the same street corner.

He learned to brace himself as he approached her for what was almost certain to follow.

"One hundred and fifty pounds!" she'd shout from the kerb.

"No! five pounds!" He would fire back, just to shut her up.

This ritual between him and the hooker became a daily occurrence.

He'd run by and she'd yell, "One hundred and Fifty Pounds!"

He'd yell back, "Five pounds!"

One day, Camilla decided that she wanted to accompany her 'husband' on his jog. As the jogging couple neared the working woman's street corner, Prince Charles realised she'd bark her £150 offer and Camilla would wonder what he'd really been doing on all his past outings. He figured he'd better have a good explanation for his wife.

As they jogged into the turn that would take them past the corner, he became even more apprehensive than usual. Sure enough, there was the hooker. He tried to avoid the prostitute's eyes as she watched the pair jog past.

Then, from her corner, the hooker yelled, "See what you get for your five pounds, you tight git?!

You can just see it can't you

Sorry!

IMO really not the same at all. We all knew Charles was a stuffed shirt - he always looked a bit of a div when he was trying to look cool. As I said ................notv the same at all IMO.

Go away and moan somewhere else. This is a nice happy jolly thread. 

Ah, I was wondering if it was a protocol thing again. Thanks Yogi

Best picture of the day.

LOL Mincey -she was singularly unimpressed..

Carnelian - that is very very naughty

Do you think Harry says "Wait til you see what she's got on"..?

He definitely teases William (because he mustn't sneak a peep, I suppose).

I was trying to find the words to say exactly the same thing. There are more anti threads than pro threads so just piss off.

Meaty

There were many bits that I loved about today - this was one of them
