Prince Charles claims he has been shown "no compassion" by the British public as a result of his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles.
In comments made to a BBC reporter, Prince Charles claimed his private life had been compromised and hit out at those intent on scaling down the Monarchy.
The Mail on Sunday said the prince made the candid remarks to journalist Gavin Hewitt in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 2003.
"I thought the British people were supposed to be compassionate. I don't see much of it," the Prince is said to have told Hewitt, when asked about the perception of his relationship.
"I don't see any reason why I should define my private life. All my life, people have been telling me what to do, I'm tired of it.
"My private life has become an industry. People are making money out of it," he complained.
The heir to the throne is due to marry Mrs Parker Bowles in April in a civil ceremony in Windsor.

"My private life has become an industry. People are making money out of it," he complained. Coming from someone who has never actually done anything in his life, this is pretty ridiculous.

"I thought the British people were supposed to be compassionate."
I thought the British people were supposed to keep a stiff upper lip.
You are sooooo right, way to whiney to be king.
Off with his head! (Hey, not by a Muslim, ok?)

Prince Charles claims he has been shown "no compassion" by the British public as a result of his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles. People who are paid tens of millions per year simply to be a good role model shouldn't b*tch when their customers point out they've been a pretty crappy job.

Kind of ironic that he would make remarks like this to someone called HEWITT. ;-)

Dear wagglebee,
In fairness to Prince Charles, although he inherited his wealth, I understand that he took his holdings in Cornwall and developed a very profitable array of business enterprises with them.
The bulk of his income is derived from profit-making private holdings.

The Mail on Sunday said the prince made the candid remarks to journalist Gavin Hewitt in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 2003. Maybe he feels differently, two years later. What a stupid smear attempt.
