This may seem a little goofy, but I'd like to find either a birthday or a blank card with a picture of Prince Charles. Perhaps something similar to the political spoof cards that are common here in the states--I've seen these with Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton, and Bush, for example. If the cards do exist, presumably in the UK, how can I order one.

There are lots of items in England with various pictures of the royals on them, but you could easily make such a thing on a computer. There are zillions of JPG files around with pictures of the bonnie Prince.

I am about to sell some postcards on ebay. Several of Charles. My ebay ID is simon.rushton. I will try and get them on tonight!

SR

Google images, find the one you like, upload it to shutterfly.com. You can make a card, add your own text (font, size, color, etc.) They'll even mail it for you.

Or just put a picture of a donkey's rear on a card!

PalQ...
I keep hearings many rumours about the Newlyweds..I wonder if there is Trouble in Paradise?
Here in the US, the soft operas type magazines have a field day with story about how unhappy Camilla is lately and of course they always show a very sad looking Camille.
Any scoop about them?

How DO they know she is "unhappy"????? Did they ask her?

If she is, it serves her right IMO.

Hmmm Strange they would be happy for some decades whilst Bonnie Prince Charlie was married and then several years after Di's death and now when they tie the knot things fall apart? I'd think she'd want to be Queen, or royal Consort or whatever they will call here - Queen i think it's been determined.
Caroline edinburgh - Strange enough me and my son were in Edinburgh not long after Di's tragic death and we were walking around and in front of the Princes (?) some royal name theatre we saw Prince Charles himself standing out front with just a few folks with him - we stood elbow to elbow with him for a few minutes as he was talking in his very gravitas voice to someone. Not a fan of royalty but that was amazing experience. No obvious bodyguards - i had a backpack on and could of had anything in it. Weird - unannounced thing i guess and he was to do a function at the theatre that night.
By the way i just love Edinburgh - one of the world'smost beautiful cities.

For what it's worth (though who knows how happy even our closest friends are?)

I was in a group of people talking to (or to be honest, being talked at by) him a couple of weeks ago. She looked as great as any normal woman her age could. Grinning and joshing. And a lot more interested in what he had to say than anyone else in the group. If she was miserable she was doing a better job of hiding it than any chairman's wife I've ever come across.

He's two weeks older than me. It looked at least twenty years.

Interesting anecdotes, PalQ and flanner.

PalQ : they have said she will be known as "Princess Consort" but everybody knows she'll be queen really. That would be the King's Theatre I expect. Glad you like Edinburgh !

Flanner : don't you think his hair is looking thicker these days ?

I don't hob-nob with him enough to notice: last time I was close in the flesh was a couple of Ascots ago and he kept his topper on in the parade ring. But he looked VERY haggard and his eyes were downright rheumy.

May well be the result of painful hair grafts!

I guess all that organic foods from his Devon or whatever estates doesn't help with the aging process. Charles is also about two weeks older than I but looks like an old fart to me - but i haven't looked in the mirror lately either. Just saw video of the royal princes drunk on TV news last night - the saga continues.

Say what you like about the bloke, but he does knock out a top-notch banger. I can never think too harshly about anyone who purveys a top notch high-fat offal tube*
