Just at a time when he needs the press on his side with the wedding only days away he puts their backs up. It was noticable that Prince Harry said nothing and that Prince William leapt into the breach. Ann

The words 'foot', 'himself' and 'shot', not in that order, spring to mind.

Poorly Bec - Charles and his sons are on skiing holiday at Klosters. Turned up for the usual photo/questions with the press and Charles made low remarks to his sons about the Press and BBC reporter in particular - Wichell - only the mikes picked it up. Prince Harry was saying absolutely nothing and Prince William basically tried to resue the situation and answer questions. Ann

I know he is in public eye and it is his job,but the man must get sick to death of reading about every little thing about his life every day Dave And I am definately not a royalist.

Dave he came to an agreement with the Press at Klosters years ago - one press call and they would give hime peace and quiet on his holiday. Clarence House had agreed that he could be asked questions re wedding and the question was polite. He is a plonker Ann

Ann, But the press broke that agreement. They had pictures of William and his girlfriend plastered all over the papers. Can't blame Charles for being in a bad mood. I'm surprised they even did they photo call at all. Crista

Good on him I think. The press are awful, and he as much right to express his opinion as anyone. He was just saying what probably most people feel. The comment was obviously intended for his family only. Lets face it, it is not as if the press don't dish it out so they should be prepared to take it.
