QuoteKing Charles and Queen Camilla spent their Tuesday in Eastern London to learn about the work of Project Zero WF.
Their Majesties were welcomed by a crowd made up mainly of children, teenagers and young adults, who all belong to the age range that constitutes the main target for the project.
Once inside, the King and Queen listened to staff members and people who are part of the programme to see how it impacts their lives.
Project Zero?s main aim is to see a whole year with zero deaths through knife crime, an issue that has long been plaguing the United Kingdom and London in particular.
For that, the project offers several different activities aimed at engaging ?young people in positive activities to promote social inclusion and reduce anti-social/offending behaviour.?
Those activities include organising community events, holiday programs and even managing media and networking operations for the project.
Their second state goal is to ?raise the aspirations of young people in reaching their full potential and grow into well-adjusted adults.?

QuoteIn a statement, Her Majesty said: ?Both my grandmother and my mother died as a result of osteoporosis. At the time, the disease was seldom discussed, rarely diagnosed and was usually acknowledged as an unavoidable part of growing older.
?Now, thankfully, we know far more about the causes, symptoms and available treatments.?
The chief executive of ROS, Craig Jones said: ?Osteoporosis will affect every other mother; every other grandmother. And too many of us still think men are unaffected. The truth is we all have bones and, if we arm ourselves with knowledge, we can keep them stronger for longer.
?It all starts with people understanding their bone health risk and taking action.?

I?ve just been looking with bemusement at the works of art being targeted by these protestors in past weeks. Picasso, Van Gogh attacked ; besides a bit of publicity in the media on that day, what?s the point? It only brings confusion and negativity from the rest of the population. Obviously waxworks of King Charles aren?t on the same level as hugely important artworks but reaction from the public is likely to be the same.
And some waste of food as well!

@Curryong -I absolutely agree with you. This is just a vain and frankly stupid attempt to gain attention but it's largely negative. I don't see it advancing their cause at all. Fortunately most of the targeted artwork is behind glass, but there's still a big mess to clean up and as you pointed out a waste of food. I have read that some of those carrying out the attacks are paid professional protestors. <_<

You?re right about that im read on Daily Mail and protest have no right and damage the museum,Madame Tussaud?s wax works of royals,store and in public unbelievable but shopper told protest cleanup but refuse thankfully for police arrest protest but its embarrassment in London im not okay with that and also daily mail and people magazine said Madame Tussaud?s museum closed temporarily due protest and cleanup of King Charles?s wax works
QuoteMadame Tussauds addressed the incident in a statement shared on social media, confirming that security intervened and that the exhibit is temporarily closed.
"At approximately 10:50 am today (Oct 24) protestors entered the 'World Stage' Zone at Madame Tussauds London and appeared to throw what is believed to be cake at our figures of The Royal Family," museum officials tweeted.
"Our security team dealt with the incident quickly and we are working closely with the Metropolitan Police on this matter. The attraction remains open, with our Royal Family set closed temporarily," Madame Tussauds added.

Yes, you did, sara. Thanks to both of you for your agreement on this issue. Soaking artworks with tomato soup etc and waxworks with mashed potato just seems utterly pointless to me.

I?m sure the people of NSW (and Queensland and Victoria) who have had homes, businesses and workplaces destroyed by flooding and its aftermath, will take time out from retrieving rotted carpets, ruined furniture and thousands of dollars worth of stock that had to be thrown away, to digest the message from Charles to his Australian subjects as they have their morning cuppa in community centres and the like.
Very kind of him I?m sure. (Btw I?ve posted quite a few reports here about our dreadful El Nina weather and floods over the last twelve months.) A donation from His Majesty to Aussie flood relief organisations or even the Salvation Army rather than kindly words and platitudes might come in handy at this time, though. Just saying.

I admire her as she never gives up. I love that Charles went there to see how this was done. Knowing someone close who is blind really makes me appreciate my eyes and so that I really take great care of them, Thanks Dr. Gorgeous!

I think these sculptures are beautiful. I?ve definitely seen something like them before and have been racking my brain as to where. It might have been in a design in one of the rooms at Hampton Court Palace, as to me they have very much a medieval feel. I never knew the animal symbol for Northern Ireland is the Elk. You learn something new every day!

A busy couple in their mid 70's! They have plenty of staff for their everyday needs and secretarial work, etc, but it's still a lot of reading, prep, writing, thinking, and attending that nobody else can do for them.
I absolutely agree with you on that, People just do not understand all the hard work it takes to do their jobs, it is not all about ribbon cutting and shaking hands. Even the ladies have to have decisions on their clothes weeks in advance, they have to wear clothes according to the event they will be attending, reading and learning all the names of the people at the events, and what the meaning of the event is about, and more. I just wonder how many 70 year olds would be able to do the job that Charles and Camilla are doing today, just look at HM and how she worked up to the very day of her death.....I admire them so very much. It is not all about servants, diamonds, cars and palaces, it is about the commitment to honor your country and the people. They do just that and more!
Happy Holidays Princess C :xmas19:

I also admire King Charles, he is highly underestimated in my opinion. He is a brilliant businessman who really turned the Duchy into a working wonder that has helped so many in his country. He at one time, very early years was a weak insecure man, that all showed in the Diana years and he married her out of duty. Neither one of them should be been married to each other, a very wrong mismatch if ever there was one. Yet life happens and those that are broadminded know that times change and people move on. Charles I believe has always loved Camilla, both made choices that derailed that relationship decades ago, yet today, both are happy with each other and that love between them is forever and a day. Camilla really has gone through hell in her love for Charles, and still does even today. She is one I admire also, together they make a great team imo.

@PrincessOfPeace It's unfortunate for all involved that the QC has had to cancel her Tuesday engagements. Hopefully she'll be well enough for her Wednesday ones and that the canceled ones can be rescheduled soon. The QC's illness has been described as "seasonal" which makes me believe that it's a mild one.
The palace: After suffering the symptoms of a cold, Her Majesty the Queen Consort has tested positive for the Covid virus. With regret, she has therefore cancelled all of her public engagements for this week and sends her sincere apologies to those who had been due to attend them.

QuoteKing Charles made a visit to two areas of London where efforts are being made to help the Turkish and Syrian people affected by the earthquake.
On Tuesday, 14th February, His Majesty made two stops in London; the first was in Hounslow, where he visited a cultural centre that has been transformed into a station to collect, package and organise the logistics for delivering basic necessities to Turkey, like blankets, clothes and food.
The centre has long been a meeting point for members of the Turkish community living in London, and, in these circumstances, they have collected more than 100 pallets of aid material, which has been shipped to the earthquake?s epicentre.
During this visit, His Majesty was accompanied by the Turkish Ambassador to the UK, who said that the King told him that he was ?deeply sorry, deeply sad, and he will pray for Turkey, for Syria and the people under that devastating earthquake?.
The King was also seen sipping on some Turkish tea and visited at a takeaway Kebab shop that was open next to the collection point, jokingly asking the chef if he had any ?secret ingredients? to attract customers.

Today marked a proud moment in the historical relationship between the RCMP and the Royal Family. -
In recognition of the RCMP's 150th anniversary and the upcoming Coronation, His Majesty King Charles III consented to assume the title of the RCMP Commissioner-in-Chief, a title previously held by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Upon acceptance of the title and rank, King Charles III was presented with a special commemorative RCMP Officer's sword. -
As Commissioner-in-Chief of the RCMP, His Majesty will play a titular role in recognizing the importance of the RCMP at home and abroad by highlighting the rich history between the RCMP and the Monarchy, which dates back to the genesis of the RCMP during the reign of Queen Victoria. -
To honour Royal traditions, RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, along with Canada's High Commissioner in the United Kingdom, the Honourable Ralph Goodale, officially presented the RCMP's ninth Musical Ride horse to the family, Noble, to His Majesty King Charles III at Windsor Castle.
During Her Late Majesty's reign, the RCMP presented the family with eight horses, three of which are currently in use as charger horses for the Royal Family: George, Sir John and Darby.
Participating in the ceremony today were Musical Ride members that are in the UK for His Majesty's coronation procession. Three of these members and the three previously-gifted charger horses, as well as Noble, will participate in the coronation procession on May 6. -

QuoteKing Charles got back to work today as he broke ground on a ?58million research facility that will aim to develop net-zero flight technology.
The monarch's first engagement following his coronation at the weekend saw him pay an hour-long visit to the Whittle Laboratory at Cambridge University.
The research centre, founded 50 years ago, is developing a brand new lab that will bring together the world's top aviation and energy experts to achieve emissions-free flights as soon as possible.
It is a fitting first engagement for the King, who is a fervent environmentalist but can no longer speak out on such issues following his ascension to the throne.
The Royal Family
@royalfamilyAs Prince of Wales, His Majesty was Royal Founding Patron of the @Cambridge_Uni Institute for Sustainability Leadership, a partner of the @WhittleLab
The main aim of the new lab is to halve the time it takes to develop key technologies towards net zero aviation and energy.
Breaking ground on the new Whittle Lab! 🌱
The @Cambridge_Uni new laboratory has been designed to bring together global experts from research and industry in net zero aviation and energy.

Queen Camilla Sees 'Progress Being Made' to Find Diabetes Cure - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pMVYMM9DRc)
QuoteThe Queen has joined forces with former Prime Minister Theresa May in the fight to find a cure for diabetes. The two met during a visit to a laboratory in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in London, which specialises in studying multiple autoimmune diseases. During a speech, Camilla said she?s hopeful a cure for diabetes ?is not far away
Personal side note, my family has been personally affected by diabetes. My sister has been a Type 1 diabetic fka (Juvenile Diabetes) for most of her life. She was diagnosed when she was six years old. This was in the early 1970's when there were no insulin pumps or continuous glucose monitoring. At home testing was for urine samples and not blood. Needless to say everyone and everything in our lives was impacted. My mother chose to go back to school and become a registered nurse a few years after my sister's diagnosis.
She's had various insulin pumps for about 25 years now and now a CGM. Fortunately, she's avoided most of the serious complications associated with diabetes. Hopefully a cure for this disease is in her lifetime.

Yes, TLLK, this is a condition that requires the utmost care. You just can?t be careless with it. I, thank Heavens, have no family member with diabetes type 1. However my husband does, a sister in law, who was diagnosed with it 60 years ago. My son, now in his forties, also had a great friend at school who had to do the jab in the thumb thing every day. He regarded it as a terrible nuisance but of course it was and is far more than that. Hopefully a cure will be found in the future, perhaps in the near future as it impacts so many lives.
The King this morning presented Honours at Buckingham Palace to members of the Royal Air Force who were involved in the State Funeral of The late Queen Elizabeth II.

This caught my eye late, so Charles/Camilla love Shakespeare, well I'll be darn, right up the street from where I live is a small group of Shakespeare fans who give readings once a month which I attend. They are quite interesting and lively at times. Even drinks are given to to those that do the readings...LOL
Charles always seems to have the biggest smile which goes from ear to ear when he is out among the people, his eyes actually light up. He was born for this as he has shown us all these past decades.

QuoteLONDON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Britain's King Charles is appalled by the "barbaric acts of terrorism" in Israel, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said on Wednesday, following attacks by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
"This is a situation his majesty is extremely concerned about, and he has asked to be kept actively updated," the spokesperson said.
"His thoughts and prayers are with all of those suffering, particularly those who have lost loved ones, but also those actively involved as we speak."
Israel's death toll has reached 1,200 with more than 2,700 wounded, its military has said, during the Hamas militants' hours-long rampage after breaching the border fence around Gaza on Saturday.
Retaliatory strikes on the blockaded enclave have killed 1,055 people and wounded 5,184, Gaza's Hamas authorities said.
"His majesty is appalled by and condemns the barbaric acts of terrorism in Israel," the palace spokesperson said.
On Wednesday, the British monarch spoke to Israeli President Isaac Herzog and also Jordan's King Abdullah to personally express his concerns for those who were suffering.
Charles, 74, who has long called for inter-community dialogue and understanding, and for religious leaders to encourage followers to respect those of other faiths, became the most senior British royal to pay an official visit to Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territories in 2020.
