Is Prince Charles becoming an exact facsimile of his old man, by being smitten with the notorious 'foot-in-mouth' disease ? In a private conversation - not public - he likened Vladimir Putin to Hitler. The whole episode was brought to the attention of the public by a sneaky little Daily Mail hackette, who was hiding behind a pillar at the time.

I'm sure Charles voices his opinions at family gatherings - and he's constantly haranguing politicians about things that concern him by letter - but should he more careful when the media are in evidence, even though this conversation was actually between himself and one other person only ?
