Prince Charles' Royal Blunder
Apparently, Prince Charles is royally unenthused by photo ops.
The heir apparent to England's throne and his sons, princes William and Harry, posed for photos for the media Thursday in Klosters, Switzerland, where they were taking an annual skiing vacation.
The carefully orchestrated photocall was part of a longstanding informal agreement between the royals and the press-- the princes pose for staged photos and in return, the paparazzi leave them alone while they enjoy their time on the slopes.
However, behind the frozen smile he put on for the cameras Thursday, Prince Charles was inwardly seething.
After a journalist from the BBC asked how he was feeling about his impending nuptials to Camilla Parker Bowles next week, Charles responded, "Well it is a very nice thought isn't it, I am very glad you have heard of it anyway."
He then turned to his sons and muttered, "Bloody people. I can't bear that man, he is so awful, he really is."
Later, he added, "I hate doing this."
Unfortunately for the prince, the media's assembled microphones picked up his bitter remarks.
Aides, scrambling to cover for their boss, said Charles was in snit a because the paparazzi had violated the unwritten agreement to give his family space by snapping pictures of William with his girlfriend Kate Middleton, who's vacationing with the royals.
"He wasn't looking forward to it," Charles's spokesman, Paddy Harverson, said of the photo session. "We have an agreement with the media where they give them space during the holiday but a few paparazzi yesterday got the holiday off to a bad start.''
"I think the prince was a little bit upset about that," Harverson added. "He doesn't have contempt for the media."
The caught-on-tape explosion is just the latest mishap for Charles, whose upcoming wedding plans to his longtime lover have been marred by one setback after the next.
His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, refuses to attend the Apr. 8 service; the location of the ceremony had to be switched from Windsor Castle to the much less snazzy local town hall after a mixup over marriage licenses; and constitutional experts are scratching their heads over the legality of a civil ceremony.
It's enough to make a prince blow his crown.
