Prince William has revealed that his father, Prince Charles, is absolutely obsessed with a certain type of squirrel.

“He is completely infatuated by the red squirrels that live around the [Birkhall] estate in Scotland,” Prince William told Country Life in a special edition of the British weekly guest-edited by Prince Charles himself.

He added that the Prince of Whales likes them, “to the extent that he’s given them names and is allowing them into the house.”Prince Charles, who celebrated his 70th birthday Wednesday, noted that the rodents are “incredibly special creatures.”

Sounds fine to me.

I used to feed squirrels walnuts, when I was in college. They got to know me so well, that they came when I called them, even have pictures of them sitting in my lap and on my shoulders, happily eating walnuts.

I thought that was Camilla's job.

Nothing dirty. I just think she's Britain's squirrel warden.. or something like that. :-).

This ugly POS I still remembered ignored Trump and the FL when they visited. It’s proper courtesy to do so and this puke acted like a child because he hated Trump...

One of the chiefs at RTC Orando used to put peanuts in his belt loops and the squirrels would climb his pants leg to get them.

He has to carry small nuts to keep the squirrels from getting a big one, him.

Charles and Harry have compromised their standing with their Leftist politics. I sure hope the Queen lives a long time, or Charles passes before her. I never thought that William was very bright, but he is at least bright enough not to comment AT ALL on politics. I hope William and Catherine have more kids......Harry moves down the succession ladder each time they have another child.

So just by marrying a pretty biracial American, this veteran who fought for his country in Afghanistan and has devoted considerable amount of time improving the lives of wounded vets is demoded in your eyes?

*eyeroll*

Meghan Markle also went on USO tours as an actress, even spending Christmas with our troops.

I believe the headline is inaccurate. Charles keeps his nuts in Camilla’s pockets.

Letting the squirrels into his house, naming them and talking to his plants, seems to me the powers that be should give more consideration to the possibility they may have to look for another “heir apparent.”
