So what do the Royals do for us?

Anyone who attended the Prince's Trust Technology Leadership Group dinner at Windsor Castle last night (see above) cannot have failed to be impressed with how Prince Charles made everyone he met feel relaxed and appreciated. He was introduced to many of the guests present (indeed I did much of the introducing!) and he had a special word for everybody. They all felt really ‘special’ as a result. Of course, the American guests were overawed!

As you can see from the Court Circular, this was Prince Charles fourth engagement of the day. Considering the few pence he costs us all each year, I think we got rather good value for money yesterday!
