I saw that Prince Charles was smacked across the face with a carnation by a woman protesting against the War in Afghanistan! The police took her away. They said the Prince was not hurt!
I could almost imagine that the protester could have been tracey! 
Just curious, has the Royal Family done more than offer sympathy to the American people? I haven't seen anything about their outright support of the war in Afghanistan. I don't doubt it given the official position of the government, but I haven't seen it.
Seems PM Blair or elected officials would be the one(s) they wanted to "carnation".
Isn't the Royal Family just a figure head of the government, with no true power? (no offense intended)
