and his long-time companion Camilla Parker-Bowles ended their summer
holiday together in public.

Track: The couple...along with the Prince's sons William and Harry...had
spent the last ten days aboard a luxury yacht owned by a Greek tycoon.
A veritable army of paparazzi had been unable to track them down.
The public display was seen by Royal watchers as another step in the
process of formalizing the couple's relationship. It was in sharp
contrast to the start of the holiday...when Charles and Camilla arrived
on different days.
The timing seems to be about right.
SOT (MOS): "I think they should just get on with their own life. It's
nobody else's concern."
SOT (MOS): "I couldn't quite see her as the next Queen of England, but
for going on holidays together, yeah, that's fine."
(Yacht at sea)
vo: And just to add spice to it all the public display of togetherness
came a
day after reports that Prince Charles had been threatened by
harpoon-wielding
protestors. That incident occurred while the Prince was swimming away
from the luxury yacht near Cyprus. A royal bodyguard intervened when the
Prince set off a security alarm he always carries.
(Tabloids/Charles etc)
Track: The incident provided the Royals-obsessed British tabloid Press
with lurid headlines...but a spokesmen for the Royal family played down
the dangers. As for the couple in question...they seem to have had a
good holiday.
