In addition to this introduction and a selection of events from the year, it has four main sections: one devoted to each of the three principal elements of The Prince of Wales’s role, and the fourth (including the Appendix) providing a detailed account of how his and The Duchess of Cornwall’s activities and offi ce are fi nanced and outlining the responsibilities of senior staff. While there is no established constitutional role for the Heir to The Throne, The Prince of Wales seeks, with the support of his wife The Duchess of SUPPORTING Cornwall, to do all he can to use his unique position to make a difference for the better in the United Kingdom and internationally. The way in which His Royal Highness does so varies over time and according to circumstances, THE but it can, in simple terms, be divided into three parts. QUEEN Undertaking royal duties in support of The Queen This involves The Prince supporting The Queen in her role as the focal point for national pride, unity and allegiance and bringing people together across all sections of society, representing stability and continuity, highlighting achievement, and emphasising the importance of service and the voluntary CHARITABLE sector by encouragement and example. Working as a charitable entrepreneur For many years The Prince has been prescient in identifying charitable need ENTREPRENEUR and setting up and driving forward charities to meet it. Today, The Prince’s Charities, as the core group of 16 organisations is known, makes up the largest multi-cause charitable enterprise in the UK. Each year His Royal Highness helps to raise, either directly or indirectly, more than £100 million to support his charities’ activities. Between them, the 16 charities employ over 1,400 people, with thousands of volunteers providing additional invaluable support. The Prince is also President or Patron of about 370 other charities. PROMOTING Promoting and protecting national traditions, virtues and excellence This includes supporting Britain’s rural communities, promoting tolerance AND and greater understanding between different faiths and communities, and highlighting achievements or issues that, without The Prince of Wales’s PROTECTING support, might otherwise receive little exposure. In this regard, His Royal Highness often acts as a catalyst for facilitating debate or change through letters to, and meetings with, Government Ministers and other people of infl uence, and by giving speeches and writing articles. In doing so, he is always careful to avoid issues which are party political, and he communicates with Ministers as a member of the Privy Council and to report matters raised by people during his visits throughout the country. In fulfi lling his role as Heir to The Throne, The Prince is supported by his wife The Duchess of Cornwall, who accompanies her husband at many of his public engagements. Her Royal Highness also attends engagements and events on her own, and conducts charitable and other work in her capacity as either Patron or President of a number of charities and organisations. 02 | ANNUAL REVIEW 2006 INCOME AND EXPENDITURE Year to 31st March 2006 2005 INTRODUCTION £000s £000s Income from Duchy of Cornwall 14,067 13,274 Funding from Grants-In-Aid and Government departments 2,073 2,688 Total income and funding 16,140 15,962 Offi cial expenditure 8,660 8,625 Tax 3,296 3,263 Personal expenditure 2,181 2,204 Capital expenditure (less depreciation), loan repayments and transfers to reserves 1,867 1,739 Net cash surplus 136 131 Summary Although the way The Prince of Wales fulfi ls his public duties is largely constant The Prince’s website, from year to year, four themes characterised 2005-06. www.princeofwales.gov.uk, The fi rst was the presence of The Duchess of Cornwall alongside her husband carries details of all offi cial throughout his two main overseas tours and on many of his offi cial engagements engagements, and of at home following their marriage on 9th April 2005. In total, Her Royal Highness attended 147 offi cial events with The Prince in the UK, and another speeches, articles and a 49 engagements with him abroad. The Duchess also undertook 30 offi cial wide range of biographical engagements on her own in the UK during the year, and four abroad. and factual information. The second theme was climate change, an issue to which The Prince has been drawing attention for many years. The environment was one of the main themes of Their Royal Highnesses’ visit to the USA. The Prince made a major speech on climate change to business leaders in San Francisco, and in his offi cial toast during dinner at the White House in Washington DC he recognised America’s crucial role in tackling issues affecting the planet. In the UK, The Prince highlighted the threat of climate change in an interview with the BBC which received widespread coverage in other media. He also called on business to do more to address sustainability issues in a speech to the Institute of Chartered Accountants, and to tackle the causes of climate change during a visit to the Confederation of British Industry’s headquarters in London. In seeking to practice what he preaches, His Royal Highness has committed his Household to improving effi ciency in its energy use and reducing carbon emissions. The third key theme was The Prince’s encouragement of more harmonious relations between faith communities in the UK and abroad, which has been a feature of His Royal Highness’s work for many years. The high points of the year in this respect were his two speeches during the Spring tour, the fi rst at the Al-Azhar University in Egypt, and the second at the Imam Muhammad bin Saud University in Saudi Arabia, where The Prince became the fi rst Westerner to speak at the country’s most senior Islamic university. The fourth theme was the celebration of The Prince’s Trust’s 30th anniversary. Events to mark the charity’s birthday began in earnest in February 2006 with the Celebrate Success awards in London, and culminated in late May with a concert at the Tower of London attended by The Prince of Wales, The Duchess and Prince William and Prince Harry, and a simultaneous live television show broadcast on ITV which helped raise £3 million for the Trust – making it the most successful fund-raising event in the charity’s history. 03 | ANNUAL REVIEW 2006 ENGAGEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES ABOVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT In 2005-06, The Prince of Wales undertook 642 offi cial The Duchess receives fl owers from two-year-old Emily Forrester, engagements, of which 81 were overseas, and The during the offi cial opening of the Duchess of Cornwall undertook 230 engagements of Epidemiology Resource Centre at Southampton General Hospital. which 53 were overseas.

  • St James Conservation Area Audit
    ST JAMES’S 17 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION Document Title: St James Conservation Area Audit Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Document ID No.: 2471 This report is based on a draft prepared by B D P. Following a consultation programme undertaken by the council it was adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by the Cabinet Member for City Development on 27 November 2002. Published December 2002 © Westminster City Council Department of Planning & Transportation, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There are now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types.

QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER LOAN EXHIBITION FURHTURE, TAPESTRY AND EMBROIDERY OF YESTERDAY AID TODAY MARLBOROUGH HOUSE Wednesday April 25™ TO Wednesday May 30™ PRICE 6 ° Ma r II)o ± ough ho use by Sir Owen Morshead. Whitehall Palace having been destroyed by fire in 1698, it was in St. James' Palace that Queen Anne set up her residence in 1702; and the Court of St. James' is still the term in official use to-day. Within a year she had created her Lord Privy Seal (John Sheffield) Duke of Buckingham, and he proceeded to erect for himself the big house looking down the length of the Mall which, rebuilt since, is known to us as Buckingham Palace. Shortly afterwards she allowed her Mistress of the Robes and close confidante, Sarah Duchess of Marlborough, to build the house in which the present exhibition is being held. From his campaign in the Low Countries the Duke had written to his wife: "You,know I never lik'd to build it at all. 'Tis not a proper Place for a great House. And I am sure," he added knowingly, "when you have built a little one you will not like it." The one which Sir Christopher Wren designed for her in 1709 is the present house minus the two top floors and certain additional rooms in the side wings. Built on so confined a site it has had to expand upwards, to the detriment of its appearance. The mettlesome Duchess was vexed by the inadequacy of its entrance from the street, and she resented too its domination by the houses in Pall Mall.

    PAUL BURRELL Over the course of 21 years, Paul Burrell rose from member of the Royal household staff to personal attendant to the Queen of England and then butler to the Prince and Princess of Wales. Ultimately, he became the trusted personal assistant and confidante to the late Diana, Princess of Wales. In 2003, he published his autobiography, A Royal Duty, which included his personal account of his Royal service and his close friendship with the late princess, who was arguably one of the world’s most popular and beloved public figures. This book was a London and New York Times number 1 best seller and sold in excess of 3 million copies worldwide. His next book, The Way We Were – Remembering Diana, was also a best seller throughout the world. In 21 years of service to the British Royal family, Paul Burrell worked closely in and around some of the most beautiful homes and palaces in England. In actuality, his travels included far more than Great Britain and Europe, as his years of service gave him first‐hand experience of the most interesting houses in virtually every corner of the world. His exposure to fine homes, priceless art collections and furnishings has provided Burrell with all manner of expertise and he has become a taste arbiter and expert in food, wines, furnishings, flower arranging, etiquette and entertaining, especially in the English style. “During my 21 years of service to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prince and Princess of Wales, I have been fortunate to witness the ultimate in stylish and elegant entertaining, from private and intimate family occasions at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the Royal Yacht Britannia to grand and lavish State Banquets for presidents, kings and queens.

  • The Global Economic Reset Marks the Beginning of the Great
    The Global Economic Reset Marks The Beginning of The Great Tribulation Globalists Reveal That the “Great Economic Reset” Is Coming In 2021 But It Is More Insidious Than That! Part 5 World Economic Forum: The Institution Behind "The Great Reset" Who Front for the House of Rothschild In a recent article Steven Guinness, writing at Zero Hedge briefly examined a number of advances that global planners made prior to the World Economic Forum’s announcement in June of a new initiative dubbed ‘The Great Reset‘. Taken together, the United Nation’s Agenda 2030, the Paris Climate Agreement, the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Bank for International Settlement’s ‘Innovation BIS 2025‘ offer an insight into how elites want to turn the lives of every man, woman and child inside out over the course of the next decade. Details of ‘The Great Reset‘ came as nations began to reopen their economies following a global lockdown. The extent to which Covid-19 has dominated every facet of existence – largely because of unrepentant media coverage – has encouraged people to focus exclusively on what life will be like after the virus. For many, what came before now seems inconsequential. It is anything but. It is the New World Order on Steroids! For example, three months before Covid-19 took hold, a global pandemic exercise – ‘Event 201‘ – was held in New York City which simulated the outbreak of a coronavirus that originated in Brazil. The scenario focused on a novel zoonotic virus that ‘transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic.’ Whilst initially some countries managed to control the outbreak, it ended up spreading and ‘eventually no country can maintain control‘.
