How on earth would anyone other than the royal household know this info if it hasn't been released by the royal family in a statement ?

The foreign daily rags have got the publicity they wanted & sold a few copies, OFF with their heads !!

I suppose UK residents will have to wait for the Sunday tabloids to hear the news second-hand.

I hope it's untrue.

Hi Annina I just googled 'prince Charles Alzheimers' interestingly the question was first being asked back in 2009

however at that time Charles was also saying this

"
Tribute: Charles praised those caring for Alzheimer's victims and the scientists searching for a treatment
Britain faces a 'catastrophic' burden from dementia in the future, the Prince of Wales has warned.
Prince Charles said scientists in the UK were at the forefront of 'our common battle against the bleak outlook' posed by the disease.
He praised the efforts of charities, campaigners and carers to 'lift the shroud of mystery' and dispel the stigma that surrounds the disease.
In a moving tribute to those affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, the Prince said more than 700,000 Britons lived in hope of effective treatment while their 'devastated' loved ones were watching them slip away.
The Prince made his remarks in a written statement to more than 200 of the UK's leading scientists due to gather this week for the Alzheimer's Research Trust 10th annual conference at the Royal Institution in London.

It wouldn't be the first time a US publication got things wrong ?

Just over a year ago I spent 4 months in a re-hab ward with 6 beds in it. All the time I was there at least 4 beds had dementia patients of varying degrees in them (mainly they all had fallen and broken hips/knees etc).

One had been a headmistress and her condition was advanced, another was a sweet lady who wandered over to my bed one day, asked my name for about the 20th time, chatted away about this and that and suddenly it was like a light was switched on as she bent down and whispered 'life is a b...er when you get old'. I just burst out laughing.

It is very sad for the families.

Maybe if it is factual even more research might be instigated into this ghastly problem.

i think hes just been like that all his life,slightly nuts. When you think of the way he treated pood Diana.**M**.

Hi Rose,I agree,but I didn't mention Camilla,although that was also in my E Mail from Belgium.

Where did you hear it? It wasn't in my newspaper.

Don't forget that we are only informed about these things when the powers that be think it the right time.

This news has also been reported recently in several American publications.

I'd be disinclined to believe any report that contained the line

"Charles is married to a woman called Camilla Parker-Bowles, "

I have just heard from my brother in Belgium that his newspaper has reported that Prince Charles has this dreadful disease.

Has enyone heard this,or do you think that the continental papers are having a quiet news week?
