ON the matter of Prince Charles’s green credentials, the Mail brings news.
The story goes that on a recent trip to the Gulf, Charles’ wife Camilla discovered that she’d left a shoe at home.
Calls were made. A search was undertaken. The shoe was found. The shoe was flown to Camilla and reunited with its other half.
The delicious image of a horseshoe-shaped piece of metal and leather sat on a first-class recliner is tempting.
And it is one the Mail is keen to emphasise. “Camilla’s high heels leave a huge carbon footprint,” it says.
“This is one hell of carbon footprint just for a pair of shoes,” says a campaigner from green pressure group Plane Stupid.
It’s all the more galling when the Mail revels that Camilla never wore the shoes.
But, of course, the shoe did not have its own seat on a private jet?
As a spokesman for Clarence House says: “They were not specially couriered, but were sent along with a number of items and paperwork as is often the case of royal tours.”
So there goes the shoe, sat alongside Charles’s morning paper and toothpaste squeezer du jour…

Why does the British Public tolerate these inbreds? Surely they should be put on the roof and shot. They stood idle and watched the same thing happen to their Russian cousins.

England bypassed his Great Uncle for the role of King of England.. and for even Greater offenses, the English throne needs to be bypassed again in favour of Prince William. Prince Charles and his “Horse Faced Consort” should be forced to abdicate any rights to the throne. He is a “Rabble Rouser” and his “Royal Trollop” can’t remember her shoes. They are pitiful excuses for leadership positions.
Princess Diana, gave us a true King.. Prince William should inherit the throne from his Grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. God Save the Throne!
All of England doesn’t deserve the treatment Charles gave Princess Diana. Somebody needs to seriously take a look at “Royal Reality”.. and exile both the Demagogue and his Strumpet!
