The Duchess of Cornwall bumped into a young recipient of her charity work yesterday — and at first he was none too pleased.

But after pulling a face and rubbing his head, he...

Don Martin: Ottawa reporters bored by royal tour
Full Comment (Free subscription) | 10/11/2009
Please, please let this be the farewell Canadian tour by Prince Charles. If there's a next time, come back as the king. Fifteen visits in coronation-standby mode are enough, thanks. The Royal Seinfeldian Tour ‘09, that is to say a prolonged coast-to-coast fly-around about nothing, is winding up after 11 days visiting 12 cities and the most common public reaction has become: Is he STILL here?...

I've just signed up to David Lloyd, the uber-swish health club, and, you know, it feels like I belong ... sniff... But the deciding factor was the plush swimming pool. It's curious how that came to be the big pull because I only really taught myself to swim during my recent sojourn to Cornwall. It was a long time coming and not helped by an early experience when an hirsute instructor decided to try...
