Prince Charles and the Duchy of Cornwall.

TheMail always has the best pictures too

Again he looked out of his comfort zone , since when has spoken out on gender equality?

Next he will be condemning his favourite sport which he gave up last year

He looked perfectly comfortable. He is being supportive of his wife.

I thought he looked fine too!

I am beginning to sound like a royalist, which I am not; but I do think a bit of fairness is in order.

Yes gonegirl he is being supportive of his wife, that seems to be his role now.

Well, it's quite an important role at the moment, whilst she finds feet.

her feet

Surely it should be both ways ?

Yes Annie it should be both ways, you're right.

At the moment she finishes his sentences, talks over him, talks about him in front of him as if he's a child (as in the Africa Tour documentary) and he just stands there and looks at her.

I have never heard him speak out on gender equality or female empowerment. Strikes me that Meghan is already pretty empowered! Suspect Harry could do with a bit of empowerment himself!

I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash.

Give them time.

Indeed - they need time. They are a new couple and a new family trying to find their feet in the glare of publicity.

I disagree sorry, she seeks publicity .

You have your heroes (eg "queenie*, Prince Charles) and your villains, don't you anniebach (eg Meghan, Diana, Corbyn).

In reality, there is no such thing as a perfect person. Most people, save perhaps for out and out psychopaths, behave well sometimes and less well at others. Sometimes the bad that they do outweighs the good and vice versa. And, of course, to some extent it's a matter of opinion as to whether a person is OK or not OK.

Don’t we all Eloethan? Aren’t all opinions valid or only those which agree with your own? I’ve disagreed with Anniebach on some things but would never invalidate her opinion or her right to express it without fear of ridicule or disparagement. Sometimes we simply have to agree to differ.

Post not poster Eloethan.

And Corbyn is not a member of the royal family

I also think the words heroes and villains are too extreme ... maybe we admire some members of RF on balance more than others but that may be that their track records are better than others. That’s not to say that newcomers can’t recover lost ground of course.....

In my opinion

I feel strongly against men who control their wives, she stops mixing with her friends, wears clothes he approves of no matter if they are not her choice , we have all known them surely

For me it’s the same with Megan and Harry, since they have married , no Balmoral, no grouse shooting, isolated from his extended family, he even cancelled a rugby event to attend a premiere of The Lion King which happened to star one of her new bestie’s, Beyonce .

She even referred to her husband as ‘him’ in public. When has she used his Christian name ?

Eloethan, they will not see it , ........ always reminds of Les Dawson’s humour , you know the folded arms & that saying he had for his character, ie ‘ Ohhh she’s no better than she ought to be ‘ ?

I agree with Callistemon 100% - a balanced view of things. The RF does need to be slimmed down but give credit where it’s due and I think it’s due to PC. When the H and M do something credit worthy I hope we’ll respect them too - at the moment I’m in two minds about them ...

I think Harry is allowing Meghan to take the limelight at an event where she is the main speaker, not him.
Well done to him for going along too.

She is often the 'plus one' where he is the main guest.

Getting back to the subject of the original post, i watched this program and throughly enjoyed it. It was gentle, an eye opener into another world for many of us and showed a side of Prince Charles that endorses how many people feel about the countryside, climate change, organic farming etc. Looking forward to watching the nex episode.

He was so ridiculed when he started speaking out about organic farming , climate change etc

I don't think Charles wants to be King if he can avoid it.

He can’t avoid it but I think it will bring much hurt to him.

Some don’t want him as king because of Diana, some because of Camilla and some because of his age , they will want him to abdicate for William to take the crown.

So unfair, he cares deeply for this country and has been schooled for it since he was 3 years old.

I think Charles will make a good king, albeit in a different way to his mother perhaps. I also think Camilla will be a supportive consort.
He won’t abdicate to let William come to the throne earlier, and I am sure William doesn’t want the job any sooner than necessary.
