第 46 題至第 50 題為題組 Prince Charles is often portrayed as bad-tempered and spoiled. There are stories that every day seven eggs are boiled for his breakfast so that he can find one that is cooked just the way he likes it. His toothpaste is squeezed onto his toothbrush for him. And his bath towel is folded over a chair in a particular way when he gets out of his royal bath. Prince Charles is eccentric, and he admits it. He talks to trees and plants. He wants to save wildlife but enjoys hunting, shooting, and fishing. He dresses for dinner, even if he's eating alone. He's a great socializer. Poets, artists, writers, broadcasters, politicians, actors, and singers all eat at his table. Arriving at Highgrove, his family home, on a Saturday afternoon, guests are entertained in the height of luxury. They are then sent on their way before lunch on Sunday, having been shown around his beautifully-kept gardens. The Prince also entertains extravagantly at Sandringham, one of the Queen's homes, at least twice a year. There are picnic lunches on the beach, expeditions to local churches, and lavish dinners with organic food. Conversation is lively, but the heir to the throne has to be careful about what he says, because he knows only too well that anything he says in private may be repeated in public. The future monarch that we don't see is a man of great humor who cares passionately about the state of the British nation and is devoted to his two children, William and Harry. He is madly in love with "his darling wife," which is how he refers to Camilla in public. Together Charles and Camilla perform royal duties, both at home and abroad. He attends over 500 public engagements a year. He visits hospitals, youth groups, performing artists, charities, and business conferences. He hosts receptions to welcome visiting heads of state and VIPs. He travels abroad extensively, as an ambassador to the United Kingdom, representing trade and industry. He works hard to promote greater understanding between different religions. Camilla shares Charles's passion for hunting and also his interest in conservation of towns and countryside. The one thing she leaves to Charles is skiing. She prefers to stay at home when he makes his annual trip to Klosters in Switzerland.
