Prince Charles Denies Rumor
LONDON - Prince Charles says he didn't do it though few Britons knew exactly what it was he didn't do. Still, newspapers and airwaves Friday hummed with hints and repeated denials.
Charles took the highly unusual step Thursday of issuing a statement naming himself as the senior royal at the center of unreported but persistent rumors and denying that the alleged incident ever took place.
A royal aide said the "totally ludicrous" rumors had to be denied because they were becoming so widespread. But some observers said that by responding to gossip, the prince could be ensuring the gossip eventually gets published.
"It is a high-risk strategy, not only for this case but for what may come afterward," said Lord St. John of Fawsley, a friend of the royal family. "The risk is that the appetite will grow with what it feeds upon and therefore this will go on and on and this particular case won't stop it."
British newspapers devoted long if vague stories to the allegations Friday. The Independent referred to "an allegedly compromising incident," although The Times wrote of "a sexual incident involving a former royal servant."
The statement by Charles referred to recent "media reports concerning an allegation that a former Royal Household employee witnessed an incident some years ago involving a senior member of the Royal Family.
"The allegation was that the Prince of Wales was involved in the incident. This allegation is untrue. The incident which the former employee claims to have witnessed did not take place," the statement said.

Speaking of kilts, I'm not going to post this photo, only the link to it, but be warned, it's a bit rude!
It's a famous/infamous photo, taken in Hong Kong in 1994 when the Black Watch was performing their last duties before HK was handed over to China.
Warning, adult content (I suppose):

Any pics of Charles in a kilt? (Ease off, I'm of Irish ancestry). Anyway, one can look manly (Sean Connery, Mel Gibson) and wear a kilt. Pics of Charles in a kilt that I've seen were hilarious. Anyone?
Real men who wear kilts:
Uh..ummm...coin toss anyone?

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Mountbatten was his UNCLE. His father was heir to the GREEK throne. There's NO " von " in front of the Saxe . Otherwise, you're doing okay, though you left out his ties to Denmark, via his maternal great grandmother.

Famke Janssen is a hottie!
Princess Diana is a hottie!
Charles isn't a fag just the
village idiot. What is wrong with
this man and his desire in CPB?
I always thought Charlie was a momma's boy and Camilla is like his mother.
Charlie is thinking about his hot momma Camilla.
Charles will never be King- King William this the man!
To: beaversmom
At least you (the only one) mentioned William. This is a typical example of a "story" manufactured to distract from the TRUE story :

I believe him. Remember way back when he went through that episode where his conversations with Camilla were taped and made public? He said he wanted to be a tampon so he could be in there all the time. Sure does not sound like a gay guy to me.

Sean is a hunk in a kilt. Charles is a man in a skirt.

Anyone remember when Diana caused a stink by making Buck Palace fire all the gay men,,she did not want them around her sons. There was disapproval all round. Well, she neglected to get rid of her tampon wannabe.

I don't think he's gay either. I can see why he'd choose Camilla over Dianna --- he would have married Dianna in the first place but for some reason she wasn't considered appropriate, Dianna was too young for him, too silly, and just after the celebrity marrying a prince would give her. Looks alone aren't everything.
