A beautiful place for Charles to have some solitude and spend some time with his memories.

At his time of life most folks are enjoying a more relaxed pace, but his life is ramping up and there is so much stress. It is good that he knows when he needs to get away and re-charge. I can't imagine what his frame of mind must be like after the things that were said in the Winfrey interview, his sons' feud, Megxit, trouble with Andrew. and his father's illness and death.  And he must be so worried for his mother. He needs this quietude and I hope there are some good times ahead.

THE PRINCE?S FOUNDATION HAS ANNOUNCED PLANS TO CREATE A NEW TRAINING AND EDUCATION BASE AT THE PRINCE OF WALES?S HIGHGROVE ESTATE IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

Building on the success of the Foundation?s work at Dumfries House in East Ayrshire and Trinity Buoy Wharf and Charlotte Road in London, the new base will extend access to the Foundation?s courses into the South West of England. The new facilities will be based within The Prince of Wales?s Highgrove Estate and opportunities will include:

Fine Woodworking ? A bespoke training course including marquetry and cabinet making curated by Lord Snowdon, Vice President of The Prince?s Foundation.

Textiles ? Building on the success of the Future Textiles Programme at Dumfries House which created the Modern Artisan Project in partnership with Yoox Net-A-Porter, the programme will teach production skills whilst also incorporating design influences from the Highgrove Gardens.

Craft Residencies ? The new location will provide workspaces for up and coming artisans in the early stages of their career. They will be offered the chance to work and collaborate in the studios drawing inspiration from the surroundings of The Highgrove Estate.

Building Crafts Programme ? Live builds of structures that allow apprentices the opportunity to put their newly acquired skills into practice.

In addition, The Prince?s Foundation also plans to take responsibility for the opening of the Highgrove Gardens to the public, which generates an annual income for charity. Following over a decade of experience running a visitor attraction at Dumfries House, The Prince?s Foundation will take over the stewardship of the Gardens in order to ensure they continue to be appreciated by the visiting public and to support the Foundation?s charitable endeavours.

He is always innovative! I have been wondering about the future of Highgrove, as it so very much HIM and will be redundant someday (but hopefully not for several years yet).

A fantastic opportunity to keep the traditional crafts alive and for young people to discover some hidden talents.

I was blown away with the depth of the programs offered at Dumfries and now this program.  Charles certain has developed a program that promotes his vision for the arts and conservation.  I?m impressed



We fill over 15,000 places on education programmes every year. We deliver over 30 distinct programmes across a broad variety of thematic areas. Our participants are aged anywhere between 4 and 74 and we deliver a high proportion of employment and further education take-up from a large number of our programmes.

Our Academic Programmes, delivered in partnership with other leading institutions, are often at the forefront of curriculum design. Our Further Education Programmes develop the next generation of practitioners, with a particular focus on hands-on education that teaches practical skills. Our Schools Programme specifically targets gaps in the curriculum or helps support formal education systems. Our Short Courses generate interest in careers and upskill existing practitioners.

The Prince?s Foundation School of Traditional Arts exists to ensure that traditional arts and skills enrich our changing world. Our pioneering postgraduate programmes (MA, MPhil and PhD) are based in the creative, artistic practice of the traditional arts. Our short courses, taster sessions and lectures are open to all. We have reached more than twenty countries. Our Harmony programme, designed for primary schools, gives young people a more holistic view of the world.

We believe that harmonious communities learn, as well as live, together.

I think Charles is the obvious choice - he loves the arts.  So I think that is a win win for both parties.

Yes, and he has always supported the arts. The patronages that Andrew most likely would hate to lose are those regarding the military and business. Perhaps he was happy to release this one.

So happy for the POW with a quiver of five grandchildren. In fact, between them Charles and Camilla have quite a few!  Someday the rift will be resolved and Archie and Lili will get to know what a wise, kind and generous grandfather he is.

Perhaps, if things go fine between family members when Harry comes back for the unveiling of his mother?s statue there might be arrangements made for another visit with Meghan and the children. There were reports that Harry will have lunch with his grandmother at Windsor and it could be spoken of then.

Having said that, I can?t see busy Charles going on private visits to California any time soon. Apart from any family tensions nobody is going anywhere much at the moment due to this pandemic except out of sheer necessity.

People in various countries have thought ?This is over, or at least getting better? over the last six months, only to be faced with a second wave. Unfortunately I don?t think there will be mass travel between countries again until 2022, when the citizens of countries in the First World will hopefully be mostly vaccinated.

I wonder if she married again, or whether Camilla's family kept in touch with her following the divorce and death of the uncle.

ate Garraway has finally revealed Prince Charles was the mystery royal who supported her during her husband Derek Draper?s Covid battle.

Previously, the Good Morning Britain star had shared a member of the royal family had sent her a letter which offered the help fo a royal physician for her husband.

However, at the time the TV breakfast presenter did not tell who the mystery person was.

Now Ms Garraway appeared to confirm the identity of the mystery helper when she met Prince Charles at a Prince?s Trust awards event where she thanked him.

Speaking to Prince Charles during the event at St James?s Palace, she said: ?And you might not remember but you were very kind to me because my husband got very sick with Covid after the last Prince?s Trust awards.
