Duchess of Cornwall: I couldn’t visit Prince Charles’ Dumfries House because it was haunted by ghost
She is usually her husband’s most devoted champion, providing quiet support behind the scenes and by his side in public. Even the Duchess of Cornwall, however, drew the line on one occasion, disclosing how she could not bear to visit the Prince of Wales’ landmark Dumfries House project after sensing it was haunted by a ghost. The Duchess, who has allowed a documentary team to follow her through the year, has told of her initial reaction to the Scottish stately home, saved from a dilapidated state for the nation by the Prince a decade ago. It has since gone on to become a masterclass in restoration, hailed as preserving not only a Georgian “time capsule” for the public to visit but providing jobs for the community and training in dwindling traditional skills. The Duchess, who was filmed in the grounds walking her two rescue dogs, gave a unique personal insight into the transformation, in an endearingly frank exchange. “If you could have seen it when … [Read more...] about Duchess of Cornwall: I couldn’t visit Prince Charles’ Dumfries House because it was haunted by ghost

Duchess of Cornwall on the joy of being a grandmother: ‘Spoil them and give them back’
The Duchess of Cornwall has spoken of the mischievous joy she takes in being a grandmother, admitting it allows her to “spoil them, give them all the things their parents won’t allow them to have and then give them back again.” The Duchess, who gives a unique insight into her family life as part of a television documentary to be aired next week, said she would recommend grandparenthood to everybody, admitting it is particularly wonderful because “you haven’t got the full responsibility”. In a programme which followed her through the year of her 70th birthday, the Duchess is seen on overseas tour, welcoming elderly victims of crime into Clarence House, and walking her dogs in a rainy Scotland.

Kayaker paddles along oblivious to huge shark closing in on him off Cornwall
Just like a scene from Jaws this kayaker paddles along oblivious to the huge shark quickly closing in on him. The seven-metre basking shark was one of two spotted off the coast of Cornwall at Porthcurno. They are the biggest found in British waters – but thankfully live off plankton and pose no danger to us. Snapper Rachel Hosken took the pic from a vantage point at the nearby Minack Theatre. The Mirror reported earlier today of another terrifying shark encounter in Dunsborough, Western Australia . Warren Brown was enjoying an afternoon of sailing on the family boat with his two sons when a harrowing sight appeared in the sea. The huge shark swam up next to the boat, its fin breaching the surface as it circled around them. There was only a few inches between them and the shark and had they been on a smaller boat , there could have been trouble. It came right up to the motor and left bite marks on the ship, which is about five-and-a-half metres. … [Read more...] about Kayaker paddles along oblivious to huge shark closing in on him off Cornwall
