Good days, bad days. I want to be alone days. ~Take me to where it's happening days.
Thank goodness I'm not famous, royal or beautiful. It's great just being me! Moody as hell though. Typical female, well I definately suffer from Pre-mental syndrome as my hubby calls it.

Why should a working photographer - on a PUBLIC road trying to do his job - be abused by this high-handed, crass little Prince Prat who apparently thinks that his accident of birth gives him the right to be appallingly rude to members of the public and who seems to think he can even order them to "Get out of my way" in a place where they have just as much right to be as he has. If the annoying little Prince Prat doesn't want to be seen by members of the general public (including photographers), then there's a very simple and obvious answer - let him "ride in peace" in glorious privacy within the confines of his vast feudal estates where members of the public are not permitted to venture.
JudyS, Australia,
If the Prince is to serve the people and keep up the unbelievable schedule of responsibilities he has attended to all his life, he certainly deserves some private time off.
Melanie Painter, Pembroke Pines, USA/Florida
So he called some pond-life pap a prat ?
I can only admire his restraint.
Paul Chenery, London,
A superb example of his flawed mentality. Why doesn't he realise,you can't have all the perks that go with an accident of birth and an outmoded archaic throwback to the past and then complain when somebody wants to take your photograph.
His mum has worked hard but let's call it a day when she "retires".
His wife can't even launch a ship!
alan madox, wirral , england
Good on you Charles, why do these fools think they have the right to intrude whenever they like. When i hear of one getting a thump, I simply cheer out loud.
D Case, Newquay,
Annoying little prat?
The words Kettle, Pot and Black come to mind.
Western Observer, Gloucester, UK
i love the royal family. I have met several and find them to be genuine, sincerely concerned about the welfare of the British people, and truly humane and kind.
