Why Prince Charles Is the Key to World Tourism

So Britain wants to attract more visitors and they've set up British Tourism Week (starting next year) to do so. Fair enough. But is choosing flappy-eared Prince Charles as the patron of BTW really the smartest move? The VisitBritain boss reckons that the support of Charlie is "evidence of the critical importance ... of our royal heritage to the tourism industry." So if your idea of a good time in England is buying dinner plates with long outdated pictures of the royal family on them, then you're the target group.

But all this at the same time as Charles starts building a castle in Romania? Reports this week also tell that the would-be-King has purchased property in Transylvania, and the stories vary from a desire to promote sustainable tourism to the rumor that he's already busy building a palace there. Of course, we know better, because there's plenty to attract you in Romania: sex, drugs and pretty women to start with. Go for it, Charlie.
