The Happy Couple

You have to go to the Times' article reporting the engagement of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles just to see the photograph being run with it. The Times could just as easily run a shot of poor old Charlie with pants on, but that wouldn't be any fun, would it? What I'd like to see (well, not really) is the photo where Charles and Camilla do an in tandem Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.

In case you were wondering what the young lovers have in common:

Prince Charles, 56, and Mrs. Parker Bowles, 57, share a passion for countryside pursuits, notably fox-hunting with hounds, and horseback-riding.

Yes, but how much of that can two people do in any given week? He's a hell of a catch, though, isn't he. For Mrs. Bowles to bring home an A-list charm merchant like that must really please her parents.
