LONDON -- Prince Charles suggested Tuesday on a visit to the United Arab Emirates that banning McDonald's fast food was crucial for improving people's diets, a British news agency reported.
Charles made the comments while visiting the Imperial College London Diabetes Center in Abu Dhabi for the launch of a public health campaign, The Press Association reported. "Have you got anywhere with McDonald's? Have you tried getting it banned? That's the key," Charles was quoted as asking one of the center's nutritionists.
A McDonald's spokesman, Nick Hindle, called the remark disappointing. He said other members of the royal family "have probably got a more up-to-date picture of us," alluding to reports that Charles' son, Prince Harry, was spotted eating a chicken burger at McDonald's in 2005.

Hey Prince Charley what about fish and chips that lots of calories
I would more support the banning of Charles. Just as a for instnace, I think the faith could be better served without a Defender in his case.
Wisdom from the Clown Prince.
We have heads of state in times of war worrying and lecturing us about the dangers of fast food.
We need another major terrorist attack or a global economic crisis to straighten peoples' heads out.
That is not the way the cat heard it from the original source. Here is the unedited report:
LONDON -- Prince Charles, who once expressed a desire to be his post-menopausal second wife's Camila tampon, suggested Tuesday on a visit to the United Arab Emirates that banning McDonald's fast food was crucial for improving people's diets, a British news agency reported.
Here's a novel idea... DON'T EAT THERE! And leave the rest of us peasants alone!
Let them eat cake...
Don't worry Chuck, they're not serving horse meat.
He needs to get a job, seriously.
Prince Charles = Null
From my cold dead hands will they pry away the Filet-O-Fish sandwich and beloved Micky-D fries .............
You Moron the food the English eat has many more calories that the food at McDonald's, (or it did when I was there)except unless you are of the upper class and then you eat cake.
That 200 pound 8 year old must have tugged at Prince Dandy's little heart strings.
McDonalds is a vast improvement over the usual Bristish fare.
Kidney pie anyone?
LMAO wrong Royal family ROFL
That the French we talking the brits LOL!
Come think of it did Princess Diana used taken then young Prince Willam and Harry to McDonalds
Micky Dees is just too tempting, eh Chucky? I mean, it would be too difficult for folks to just choose not to go -- a lot easier to just ban it altogether and eliminate that choice.
The diseased, collectivist mind on display yet again.
Yes I think the brits were the most fit people on the planet before McDonald's came to the UK. Maybe it's all Benny Hill's fault. LOL!
