21 November
Prince of Wales

The Prince of Wales came to visit our office today. I was chosen to be part of a small group of staff who would meet the Prince because we are 'volunteers' in the community.... but I turned it down. I decided that I had no interest in what the Prince thought about our school in deepest Hackney - what would he know of that kind of life? - And, I doubted that he would have any real interest in anything I had to say about it. So, today was the day I ALMOST met Prince Charles.

This is the only prince like thing I could find in the house - it's a candle holder.

That makes you quite unique. Good for you Gail!

:) you know, i find it far more interesting in why you turned down the opportunity to meet the prince than the opportunity itself. i agree very much with your sentiments and imagine things would be far better if more people thought that way.

the crown looks especially tiny, i imagine it sitting on a thumb for some reason. :)

meeting the Duke of Rothesay might of made a good photo opportunity...
