One thing I heard on the news here did bug me though... someone was saying how Charles should be "father of the year" (their quote not mine) for dealing with this situation so well and such. It would seem to me that paying to send your child to a rehab center takes NO parenting skill whatsoever... a "father of the year" would have cleared the polo schedule and spent some quality time with his kid. (FWIW - I'm not sure if the quote came from the British media or the US media... but it goes to show that some people just don't have a clue!)



Just to put you right - the original news has turned out to be something of an exageration. Charles took Harry to a rehab clinic one afternoon to show him how he could end up if he kept taking drugs. It is this action that people are applauding.
