Britain’s Price Charles meets “kindred spirit” Sólyom

By Hungary Around the Clock

Britain’s Prince Charles received the Grand Gross of the Order of the Hungarian Republic from President László Sólyom after he and his wife Camilla arrived in Hungary yesterday for a four-day visit.

The award bestowed before last night’s official dinner was given in recognition of Charles’s efforts and work on behalf of environmental protection.

The environment and equal opportunities are expected to dominate the Prince’s visit. He spoke about the issue of climate change and also about his Hungarian ancestry.

Sólyom stressed that Hungary and the UK are strategic partners. Charles called Sólyom a “kindred spirit,” referring to their identical stance on the fight against climate change.

The environment and the protection of the quality and quantity of water will be among the priorities of the Hungarian EU presidency in 2011, Sólyom remarked.

    For those who are interested in Chaz’s Hungarian ancestry, try this wiki link for a start.

    So that’s the reason he decided to buy up chunks of Transylvania ;)

    Thanks, PiP!
    I know the Teck castle in my neighborhood (actually the ruins, nice place to walk your dog) and never would have thought there was some British nobility related to it.
    Completely OT but maybe jobo-relevant:
    I read somewhere that the main reason why Edward abdicated was that Mrs Simpson could give him extremely good blow jobs …
    And he also seems to have been a fan of Nazi Germany and not too friendly with Jews or Niggers or Aboriginals – sounds like a good jobo to me …
