| I'm expecting a lot of red for this, but here goes anyway.
Prince Charles is a figurehead, not a head of state. We should be proud of our Royal Family, and understand that they are an important part of our history. The way they are treated says a huge amount about how easily manipulated by the media, and those of you who genuinly believe that they are money grabbing layabouts should have a long hard look at where that idea came from.
HRH's point is an extremely good one. I run my own business at the age of 24, and I've worked my ass off for the last 2 years and will continue to do so, because that's what I believe it takes to succeed. The problem is the people who believe the world owes them a living, and that the current belief is that being famous is the easy way to get rich quick. The fact that famous people generally have to work pretty hard as well doesn't come into it!
IMHO of course....!
