Yes, they will arrive on 9 November for the seventh royal visit in four years, keeping up the practice of one visit a year by the Queen’s immediate heirs since 2011. Charles and Camilla were last here in 2012 on the Diamond Jubilee tour. Judith Ireland, a national political reporter for Fairfax, presents a different take on the pair correctly identifying them as the C Team (in all respects) but highlighting some of their more notable features rather than the demeaning dross we usually hear about them both. Charles will certainly succeed his mother who will not abdicate and that is as much as there is to be said about it. Forget Diana, Charles and Camilla are also one of the 20th century’s greatest love stories.
