Long live the Queen  He’s nuts for them! 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.” “They come into the house at Birkhall and we get them chasing each other round and round inside,” he said. “If I sit there quietly, they will do so around me.” He added, “Sometimes when I leave my jackets on a chair with nuts in the pockets, I see them with their tails sticking out, as they hunt for nuts.” The heir apparent has long been an advocate for the environment, frequently speaking about conservation and climate change, and has even admitted that he talks to his plants, according to Time. https://www.foxnews.com/entert...-nuts-in-his-pockets | ||

I feel like we need to apologize to Tacfoley and the rest of the people of the UK. Wales has been around a long time. If you are going to report about someone, at least get their names and titles correct. | |||

What would you expect from a guy, who reportedly has his shoelaces ironed. | |||

I like to watch squirrels from time-to-time too, but I'll be damned if they're getting anywhere near my nuts! | |||

Well, he's happier than most, I would guess. The real world does not intrude upon him. The advantages of a royal existence, eh, wot? ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Thanks a lot. I now have a new project for the weekend. But, at least, unlike Prince Charlie, I will experience the satisfaction of ironing my shoelaces myself!! _______________________________________ Flammable, Inflammable, or Nonflammable.......

Years ago, I watched a 60 Minutes TV magazine rerun featuring the Royal red squirrels. Seems the aggressive gray squirrels were taking over and driving the meeker native red squirrels to extinction. I can understand Charles identifying with the reds. The Royals hired a game keeper to shoot the gray squirrels. Cool to see him in his gamekeeper gear creeping around the grounds with a scoped, silenced .22 rifle. If you go to the Balmoral website, they have a squirrel cam (just for the reds, you know). | |||

He acts like he's in a Monty Python skit. Maybe Chuckie should just look around and see how the royalty has been doing for the last several hundred years or so. The Romanoff's? The Hapsburgs? Louis XVI and Marie? Even his namesake, Charles I. If I were he, maybe I'd try to show my ass a little less often...

My ex-wife used to speak French to the squirrels in the neighborhood.

I guess I'll be the odd man out. Other than talking to plants, I don't understand where the scorn is coming from. I'm an animal lover myself. I love to sit in the yard and watch them. I think that a deeper appreciation of them comes with age and wisdom. I'll start a new thread soon to show off the new house I built my feral cat. Many of you are going to think I'm completely out of my mind | |||
