Prince William to Share Queen’s duties, The Queen Elizabeth is to hand over a substantial part of her public duties to Prince William to help him prepare for the day when he becomes King, according to a confidential document obtained by the media.
The documents revealed that 83-year-old Queen Elizabeth and her 88-year-old husband Prince Phillip are giving a good part of their duties to Prince William to lessen their workload. Despite the continuous denials by the Buckingham Palace, the facts prove that the Queen is gradually renouncing her duties.
It is also mention worthy that the Queen is giving away powers to her grandson Prince William instead of her son Prince Charles. The information is revealed through a note by Chancellor Alistair Lamb written about new financial arrangements for Prince Charles and his sons. Though the paragraph containing the above said facts has been removed from the note, yet an English newspaper claimed to have gotten the censored part, which confirms that the Queen is imparting training to the Prince.
PORT OF SPAIN: As the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) officially opens today the global community will be looking on as State heads discuss major issues, chief among them climate change.
The meeting is expected to be a precursor to the United Nations’ annual climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, from December 7-18. At that meeting nation leaders will try to agree on a pact to reduce emissions when the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012.
Prime Minister Patrick Manning, chairman of this year’s CHOGM in Port of Spain, told the audience at the Commonwealth People’s Forum earlier this week that CHOGM will be the last opportunity for some of the world’s biggest players to thrash it out over the climate change issue before the Copenhagen conference.
CHOGM kicks off with the Opening Ceremony and Cultural Programme at 9.50 a.m. today at the theatre stage of the newly opened National Academy for the Performing Arts in Port of Spain. The CHOGM events will remain there for the morning period.
At 11.20 a.m. the Official Photograph will be taken of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, who arrived yesterday, and Heads of Government, who have been arriving throughout the week. Over in Tobago at 11.30 a.m. His Royal Highness, Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh, will be arriving at Shaw Park.
Back in Trinidad at 11.45 a.m. there will be a joint reception for Heads of Government and invited guests hosted by Manning and Commonwealth Secretary General Kamalesh Sharma to be held at the National Academy.
At 2.30 p.m. events shift to the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Port of Spain with the Youth Dialogue with Heads of Government. The Hotel will also host the Executive Session I and Retreat Session I at 3.15 p.m. and 5 p.m. respectively.
At 6.30 p.m. Manning and Sharma are scheduled to hold a press briefing at the International Financial Centre building and the day closes with the Queen hosting a dinner for Heads of Government and spouses at the Hyatt Hotel at 10 p.m.

Aishwarya number 9 in Harpers and Queen most beautiful list, NEW YORK: Aishwarya Rai has made it to the 100 most beautiful women list published by Harpers and Queen Magazine.
The Bollywood Beauty was placed ninth just like last year.
Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie topped the list followed by supermodel Christy Turlington, Queen Rania of Jordan and other luminaries.
When Brit actress Helen Mirren’s husband, Taylor Hackford, first saw her dressed up as British monarch Queen Elizabeth II in a movie role, he was so shocked that he burst out laughing.
Mirren, 64, had even won an Oscar for her portrayal of the royal in 2006 movie ‘The Queen’, but her husband had never seen her in the costume that gave her the monarch’s looks until he watched the film’s premiere.
Hackford, 64, was so surprised by his wife’s transformation that he ended up laughing during the screening, much to the embarrassment of Mirren.
“Taking on the role of the Queen in Stephen Frears’ film was an incredibly difficult decision for her. I hadn’t visited her on-set, and hadn’t seen her in the role until the premiere at the Venice film festival,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
“The first image on the screen was the Queen sitting for a portrait, and she’s dressed in all her queenly drag.
“I was surprised and shocked. I just broke out laughing – and I have a very large laugh. She was saying, ‘Shhh! Stop it!’” he added.
