So, does this appearance mean that Prince Charles is throwing his weight behind Israel and by example criticizing the EU?

Indirectly, I believe, yes. It is a break from other European monarchies and governments.

Charles is also something of a twit.

To be fair to him, his record is mixed. He's handled his personal business less than brilliantly, but the Prince's Trust is good as it helps people set up businesses rather than keeps them on aid all their lives, and he's done some good things, like saying modern architecture is crap. Overall, not too bad.

Despite his personal failings, I will always root for Charles because of his stand against modern architecture! LOL! I hate it too!

Back to his personal life...perhaps if he had stood up and insisted on Camilla 25 years ago, he wouldn't have had all the misery from his disastrous marriage.

Of course, I am speaking as an American, and the influence of the Queen, Prince Philiip, and the Queen Mother are something I don't quite understand.

Part of it is Camilla's fault. Charles was taking his sweet time to ask her to marry him, and she couldn't wait any longer any married Mr. Parker-Bowles. Few people say this however.
