Prince Charles and his wife Camilla Duchess of Cornwall take part in Hindu ceremony at a temple on the banks of the River Ganges during day 1 of their nine-day tour of India on Nov. 6, 2013 in Rishikesh, India. Prince Charles and his wife Camilla Duchess of Cornwall hold oil lamps as they take part in a Hindu ritual on the banks of the River Ganges in India, during the first day of their nine-day tour. They both took part in one of the most popular Hindu ceremonies, the Aarti sunset Ceremony of Light, pouring offerings into the river and presenting lighted wicks of purified butter to deities. The ceremony is intended to thank God for the light of the sun and to offer back the light of thanks, the palace said. "It is my first visit to the Ganges, so from that point of view, it is a very special occasion for both myself and my wife," Charles said, according to a palace tweet. This is the third official visit to India by the couple, and their most extensive yet. Afterward, when Charles turns 65 on Nov. 14, they will go to Sri Lanka, to represent Queen Elizabeth II at the 2013 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. With the 87-year-old queen cutting back on her international travel, Charles is increasingly taking her place at the most important royal engagements, such as anything to do with the 54-nation Commonwealth she heads.

The Prince of Wales was given the hand-made soft toy along with cards and posters made by local children for the youngest royal. The 65-year-old was presented with the gifts while visiting Glendelvine Estate in Scotland, a conservation centre for the rare woodland creatures. Charles went to the estate near Dunkeld, Perthshire to hear how trapping invasive grey squirrels is helping to save the native red species. Commenting on the gift for Prince George, Ken Neil, from the Saving Scotland's Red Squirrels Project, said: "He was most taken by it. "It's quite large so we were joking that it was to scale because the Glendelvine red squirrels are so healthy. "He was very interested in the work we're doing and obviously he has his own interest so he knows quite a bit about red squirrel conservation already so it was nice to have an enthusiastic audience." Charles was presented with the toy made by the Scottish Wildlife Trust's (SWT) Corinne Thompson after he watched a squirrel trap demonstration. Charles, who is known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, is patron of the Trust which runs the squirrel conservation project. The visit came as Prince George celebrated his first birthday with parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Princess Diana was killed through a plot hatched by her ex-husband Prince Charles, his new wife Camilla Parker-Bowles is allegedly claiming. A report from the UK’s Globe claims that Camilla has been confiding in Kate Middleton about her fears. The report goes on to state that Camilla thinks Charles could be targeting her next. The report comes just days after what would have been Princess Diana’s 53rd birthday. Diana, an unknown kindergarten teacher before marrying Charles, was given the nickname “The People’s Princess” for her common background and sense of being relatable. She and Charles knew each other since 1977, when Charles started dating her sister, Sarah. That relationship ended up fizzling, but Charles soon started dating Diana, and in 1981 they announced their engagement. Later that year, Charles married the 20-year-old Diana in one of the biggest events the UK has seen in the last century. Princess Diana remained popular even after her marriage to Prince Charles crumbled. On August 31, 1997, one year after their divorce was finalized, Diana was killed in a car wreck in Paris when the vehicle she was in was chased by paparazzi and crashed in a tunnel. If Camilla Parker-Bowles has fears that Prince Charles orchestrated the death of Princess Diana, she is not alone in having doubts about the circumstances of the crash. Though the idea that Charles killed Diana may not be widespread, others believe that there is a cover-up regarding her death. Earlier this year the British government released a heavily redacted official report on her death, one that fueled conspiracy theories even more. The theories echoed claims from Al Fayed, the Egyptian billionaire whose son Dodi was also killed in the crash. Al Fayed has stated that the royal family caused the crash to keep Princess Diana from marrying a Muslim man. “This is not an accident,” he said shortly after learning of the crash. “It is a plot, an assassination.” There is also evidence that Princess Diana feared that Prince Charles could kill her. In 2007, a handwritten letter was revealed in which Diana stated she was in fear Charles would kill her so he could marry mistress Tiggy Legge-Bourke, the former nanny to Princes William and Harry.
