Tribunal exposes prince's 'Edwardian' attitudes

Prince Charles's hopes of one day appearing a thoroughly modern monarch received a fresh blow yesterday when his candid thoughts about those who aspire to rise above their station were ruthlessly exposed in a sex discrimination hearing.

Elaine Day, a former staff member, is accusing the royal household of sex discrimination and unfair dismissal.

Her evidence threw up a handwritten memo from Prince Charles on the first day of what is scheduled to be a three-day hearing in the prosaic surroundings of an employment tribunal in Croydon.

In the memo, written to an unnamed member of staff, apparently in March 2002, the prince fulminates about the state of education - a long-standing obsession - and the uppity aspirations it provokes.

2. What a complete git

I never realised he harbored such thoughts. (This is from a guy who hated his very strict boarding school, and probably would have thrived in a more modern environment.
Let's hope Wills becomes "King" and gets rid of the whole shambles of royalty altogether.

5. ROFL We can only hope Wills is named King before

his bastard of a Dad is. I admired the Princess, I really did. She became a thorn in his side in her life and her Death has made it infinately worse. Diana was something, It is just sad that her life was so short and much of her time here was spent with a complete dolt.

3. The Royal Family

The British should get rid of these expensive free-loaders. Prince Charles is a grown man who has never had a job and probably has some poor flunky to wipe his ass too.

4. He did have a servant to put the toothpaste on his toothbrush! n/t

6. Hopefully

it was the same poor flunky and he didn't wash his hands between these tasks!

9. Now THERE's a thought.

But not something I'd want to see.

8. Our inbreds live in trailers, theirs live in the palace.

I don't get it. My husband (Briton) and all of his friends and family can't stand them. They earn 16 million dollars a year for...what?
