Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Prince's private affair with India Vijay Dutt London, May 1, 2005 "I love India and can hardly wait to go there. But I will like to go on a private visit so that I can see places on my own", Prince Charles told Hindustan Times when asked if he intended to visit the country in the near future. Charles had come with Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to inaugurate the Mountbatten Auditorium in the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, London. Camilla also echoed a similar sentiment. She said she was keen to visit India and mentioned that her brother had visited the country and he was totally fascinated. "He loves elephants". She recalled her stay at Dr Karan Singh's apartments in Manali and said she used to go on long walks. Prince Charles said he appreciated Bhavan's effort to create awareness about India's culture, art and music in Britain. "I have respect for the Indian culture and heritage. I learnt a lot about the country from my great uncle Earl Mountbatten. He related to me fascinating tales about it and I was fortunate to be able go there once with him," the Prince said while inaugurating the auditorium. He said he was trying to find ways of helping charities that are working in India on projects like youth entrepreneurship, rural health, water harvesting and the preservation of "India's unique architectural heritage". http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1343681,00050003.htm? headline=Prince's~private~affair~with~India Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
