This evening, I watched a documentary charting the daily life of HRH Prince Charles, this documentary examined the Prince's private life and public life, and his difficulties there within due to his position.
Now, I have heard it said that this man from his position 'meddles' with things he ought to keep out of, but I have always seen different on this matter, for I applaud the Prince's attempts to ask questions where they need asking and given his position, often it is he is listened to.
The Prince in his own words admits that he does get involved with issues, but he chose to do that, as it was not his wish to appear useless as so many believe our Royalty is today. Though he is the next in line to the throne, the possible future king and head of the Church of England, he actively gets involved with all sectors of the community, their cultural and religious beliefs definately not a bar to his interest, and he isn't just interested because it seems a political thing to do, as he talks of unity regardless of our differences.
So it is, I have heard various, 'others' views, I have my own views, but I would be interested to read of what a community I am involved in has to say, how do people in other countries view our Prince ?
Given his position as supposedly above party politics, is it right that he offers a loud voice on subjects where the mere commoner is often ignored ?
I've never quite understood why folks in GB would be willing to pay taxes to support a Royal Family. I'm pleased to hear Prince Charles is using his position to effectuate change, but really, what purpose do they serve?
Maybe you have to be a GB'er to 'get' it.
