In addition to this introduction and a selection of events from the year, it has six main sections: one devoted to special features highlighting the work of The Prince of Wales’s initiatives and charities; three explaining each of the principal elements of His Royal Highness’s role; one introducing the new Household of Prince William and Prince Harry; and a sixth providing details of how The Prince of Wales’s activities and office are financed and explaining their environmental impact. While there is no established constitutional role for The Heir to The Throne, The Prince seeks, with the support of his wife The Duchess of Cornwall, to do all he can to make a difference for the better in the United Kingdom and internationally. The way in which His Royal Highness does so can, in simple terms, be divided into three parts. Undertaking royal duties in support of The Queen This involves The Prince and The Duchess supporting The Queen in her role as a focal point for national pride, unity and allegiance and in bringing people together across all sections of society, representing stability and continuity, highlighting achievement, and emphasising the importance of service and the voluntary sector by encouragement and example. Working as a charitable entrepreneur For many years The Prince has worked to identify charitable need and to set up and drive forward charities to meet it. Today, The Prince’s Charities, as the core group of 20 organizations 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 the charities’ activities. Additionally, The Prince has created six social enterprises, the profits of which are donated to charity. Promoting and protecting national traditions, virtues and excellence ABOVE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM This includes supporting Britain’s rural communities, promoting tolerance The Prince of Wales at Copehill and greater understanding between faiths and communities, and highlighting Down urban operations training village with the 3rd Battalion, The achievements or issues that, without his support, might otherwise receive Mercian Regiment (Staffords) in little exposure. In this regard, His Royal Highness often acts as a catalyst for November 2008. facilitating debate and change through contacts with Government Ministers The Duchess of Cornwall meets and other people of influence, and by giving speeches and writing articles. well-wishers as she attends The In doing so, he is always careful to remain separate from party political National Veterans’ Day in Blackpool debate. He communicates with Ministers as a member of the Privy Council in June 2008. and reports matters raised by people during his visits around the country. In fulfilling his role as Heir to The Throne, The Prince of Wales is supported in everything he does by his wife The Duchess of Cornwall. Rather than seek a substantial public profile in her own right, Her Royal Highness’s role is primarily to support her husband, accompanying him on many public engagements throughout the country and overseas. The Duchess also attends events on her own, and conducts charitable and other work. 02 | TRH ANNUAL REVIEW 2009 INTRODUCTION INCOME AND EXPENDITURE Year to 31st March 2009 2008 £000s £000s Income from Duchy of Cornwall 16,458 16,273 Funding from Grants-In-Aid and Government Departments 3,033 2,454 Total income and funding 19,491 18,727 Official expenditure 12,513 10,451 For historical financial Surplus after official costs 6,978 8,276 data please visit: Taxation 3,093 3,429 Non-official expenditure 1,710 2,217 www.princeofwales.gov.uk/ Capital expenditure (less depreciation), mediacentre/annualreview loan repayments and transfers to reserves 2,018 2,436 Net cash surplus 157 194 SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNT Year to 31st March 2009 2008 tonnes tonnes CO2 equivalent emissions Household 2,601 2,795 Home Farm 2,341 2,378 Prince William and Prince William and Prince Harry also conduct public engagements and support Prince Harry also conduct charities and other organizations, although the main way in which they currently serve the nation is as members of the Armed Services. The growing role public engagements and public prominence of the two Princes was underlined last year with and support charities the establishment of their own Household based at St James’s Palace. and other organizations. Summary The way The Prince of Wales fulfils his public duties is largely constant and in 2008-09 the key themes were unchanged from the previous year. They were the environment and climate change, the built environment (particularly in planning more sustainable communities and promoting regeneration of deprived areas), Their Royal Highnesses’ support for the Armed Forces, and their work for the British Government on overseas visits. The Prince has been drawing attention to the ever more challenging problems of climate change for many years, and in 2008-09 his Rainforests Project continued to help to find a solution to tropical deforestation, a major contributor to carbon emissions and global warming. An important milestone for the Project was the historic meeting on 1st April 2009 at St James’s Palace chaired by The Prince at which world leaders and senior officials from international institutions agreed to set up an International Working Group to address the problem (more details of the Project’s work are on pages 12 and 13). With British Forces operating around the world, in particular in Iraq and Afghanistan, Their Royal Highnesses and Prince William and Prince Harry continue to highlight the work and sacrifice of servicemen and women and their families. The past year has been especially busy in terms of overseas visits on behalf of the British Government, with official tours to Japan, Brunei and Indonesia in October 2008, and Chile, Brazil and Ecuador in March 2009. 03 | TRH ANNUAL REVIEW 2009 ENGAGEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES In 2008-09, The Prince of Wales undertook a total of 658 official engagements, of which 83 were overseas, and The Duchess of Cornwall undertook 225 engagements, of which 56 were overseas. The following engagements and activities illustrate the range of Their Royal Highnesses’ work during the year. Celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Royal Air Force In April 2008, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall visited RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire to mark the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Air Force. The occasion also saw His Royal Highness present RAF pilot’s wings to his eldest son, Prince William, on his completion of an intensive 12-week flying course at the base. Visiting Northern Ireland to meet servicemen and women returning from a tour of duty in Afghanistan In May 2008, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall visited 2 Mercian Regiment at Palace Barracks, near Belfast, during a two-day trip to Northern Ireland. The Prince is Colonel-in-Chief of the Mercian Regiment, and during the visit Their Royal Highnesses met servicemen and women ABOVE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM who had just returned from Afghanistan, where nine members of the Prince William receiving his Battalion had been killed in action.

    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‘.

    MINUTES OF THE 69th MEETING OF AYNHO HISTORY SOCIETY HELD AT THE VILLAGE HALL, AYNHO ON WEDNESDAY 25th JUNE 2014 Present: - Peter Cole - Secretary. There were apologies from Rupert Clark due to work commitments 1. Chairman and Treasurer's Report In Rupert’s absence Peter reported that Middleton Cheney is holding a photographic exhibition on Saturday 19th July from 2pm to 4.30pm in All Saints Church, entitled “The Village – Then and Now”. There will be about 50 photos of Middleton Cheney taken between 1900 and 1930, accompanied by photos of the same view taken today. 2. Royal Mistresses Roger Powell The talk covers the period from 1509 to the present day, and concentrates on people who were royal mistresses for at least ten years. Indeed one was a mistress for 36 years. In many cases from a psychological point of view she was not just an object of desire but she more or less became a second wife, and sometimes even a mother to the king. The origin of the role in the early days of the Middle Ages derives from the many loveless royal marriages, as for kings the main reason for a marriage was to secure or maintain an alliance to build his empire or strengthen his position against enemies. Once a queen had given the king one or two heirs, he would forget or even abandon her and take a mistress. In England a royal mistress did not become a feature of court society until the 17th century. In France they had been around in the mid-1600s, but it took a while before England followed suit.
