Prince Charles designed a lovely village in Dorset...and he's very in to nature, championing organic farming long before it became 'fashionable' He looks after the land, there are all sorts of things he's done which are good..

18 out of the 20 charities in here, are his idea:

The Prince's Charities

And of course, this has helped thousands of people get into work, run their own businesses..

The Prince's Trust



I feel sorry for Prince Charles at times. He was a shy and quiet little boy who needed his mother. He never got her, she had him 'for the country' Anne too. So they packed him off to the toughest boarding school going, far away from them, and kinda left him to it.
Then he was made to marry a woman he didn't love, because he wasn't allowed to marry the woman he DID love, she being Catholic, an' all, although why he didn't just renounce the throne and run off with her, who knows, but duty called, and after The Duke of York, he'd have had his grandmother to answer to if he had..and he was desperately fond of her. And the one person he truly loved as a young man growing up, and who was more of a father to him than his own, was blown to smithereens..I can still remember that day, August Bank Holiday Weekend...Lord Mountbatten, gone..and Charles's world grew a little darker..

So in a way, despite the unhappiness that Diane had to endure, which was deeply unfair, I'm glad that he's finally ended up with the woman he truly loves. I don't go a bundle on them, hate the hunting bit and other stuff, but I'd not wish ill on him. At base, I think he cares about his country very much, and cares about the planet too. He's been laughed at all his life, made fun of, never been given a chance really.

At least he stood up to his mother over lowering the flag for Diana, and he made sure she was brought home safely. He could have just walked away and left it all.

Is he really such a nasty, unpleasant man? Or is he a man who's never been given a chance to be liked or respected because everyone's been so busy making fun of him?
