The Prince of Wales rarely visits Brussels, but at lunchtime on Wednesday he will be at the European parliament, urging EU officials to stay focused on climate change despite the economic downturn.
And later, Prince Charles will beonstage at the Belgian capital’s biggest theatre, singing to the plants in his greenhouse.
Closer reading of the bill reveals only one of the two is the authentic royal real deal. While the prince will address MEPs, an actor is to portray him at the theatre.
The royal box looks likely to be empty for the premiere of a comic play promising an incendiary take on the prince’s muddled private life, dramatising the love triangle between Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles and Diana, Princess of Wales.
Lady Camilla, or The Prince’s Choice depicts royal chaos, with a fraught Queen struggling helplessly to contain the mess unleashed by Charles’s disintegrating marriage. By an extraordinary coincidence, the opening night of the cheeky play has fallen on a day Charles was in town.
Weaving real life with invented scenes, the play features five characters: Charles, Diana, Camilla, the Queen and James, a fictional butler to the prince.
Beginning three decades ago, when Charles first met Camilla, it is part love story, part bedroom farce, part sociological study of the British aristocracy.
Probably wont go to the West End or Broadway methinks.
