Prince Williams may take up charity work next year.

According to Buckingham Palace aides, the queen is worried that Prince William may not perform a public role once his army duties are over.

The British queen is believed to have asked the second-in-line to the English throne, to help Prince Williams, with the aim to engage him in charity work when his military attachments come to an end next year.

It is not the only the queen, even the Royal Family members are discussing an “umbrella” charity role for him.

An unnamed aide said:

“Charles turn s60 in November and the Royal Family feel William would be perfect for dealing with younger start-up schemes to oversee his current charity work”

The aide added:

“He has always had an aptitude for working with youngsters and he is looking forward to becoming some kind of youth ambassador. He will continue to retain his other charitable duties.”

It is always better to engage ones self fruitfully in activities one enjoys there by avoiding falling prey to be part of the “Devil’s workshop” as the saying goes, “an idle mind is a Devil’s workshop”.

Is Prince Philip affected by the dreaded cancer? Buckingham Palace denies the news!

Prince Philip was hospitalised in King Edward VII Hospital in London and spent three days there. According to a report in the Evening Standard publication, the 87 year ailing old, Prince Philip, had been diagnosed with prostrate cancer in April.

Generally, the Palace abides by the rule of not commenting on any news about private lives of the royal family. However this time around, in an apparent departure from the convention, the Buckingham Palace issued a strong denial of the report.

The statement said: “Buckingham Palace has always maintained that members of the royal family have a right to privacy, particularly in relation to their personal health. For this reason, we have always refused to confirm or deny the persistent rumours that circulate about their health, particularly during the quieter news months.”

Cancer, the dreaded disease, can be painful for a patient to endure. The disease should not strike a Prince or even a Pauper for that matter, we pray! Hope there is ample proof in the Buckingham Palace denial of the news.

London Mayor Boris Johnson’s Royal Connection

Here is an interesting piece of news about London Mayor Boris Johnson’s royal connection. Conservative party leader was elected in May as the Mayor of London.

According to a revelation, Boris Johnson has a close royal connection. The Sunday Times recently reported that Boris is a direct descendant of King George 11, a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth 11 and is also related to the famous royal houses of Europe.

The report was based on details uncovered by a BBC documentary entitled ‘Who Do You Are?’ King George 11, who occupied the throne from 1727 till he expired 33 years later, came from Hanover, and was the last British monarch born out of the country. He has the distinction of being the last ruler, to lead his troops right into the battle zone.

However, claims made by Mr. Johnson that he is descendent of a Caucasian slave bought by his Turkish forebears, could not be proved by the documentary, which is known to trace family trees of the celebrites.

Prince Charles’s Aston consumes 4.5 bottles of wine per kilometre

Prince Charles converted his 38 year old car Aston to run on bio-fuel made from wine. Available surplus wine used for bio-ethanol production, helped Prince Charles to reduce carbon emission. The car was a present from Queen Elizabeth on Charles’s 21st birthday.

The car is sparingly used clocking up usage of 300 miles a year at 16 Km/ gallon. In other words, 4.5 bottles of wine is consumed for each mile covered. Fleet of several jaguars, a Range Rover, and an Audi no longer pollute the environment as they are converted and made to run on bio-diesel fuel made from used cooking oil there by biding good bye to carbon emission.

In Prince Charles household’s 2008 annual review, it was also disclosed that beside bio-fuel usage, utilising green electricity supplies has resulted in reduction of 18 per cent travel-related emissions. With the spiraling prices of conventional fuel, even a small step like the one taken by Prince Charles if followed, will certainly make us live in unpolluted environment in times to come when the bio-diesel fuel will take over.
