BRITAIN'S Prince Charles has cited the Mumbai shantytown setting for the film "Slumdog Millionaire'' as a role model for sustainable living in Western cities, a report said Saturday.
The 61-year-old heir to the British throne writes in a new book being published next week that the Dharavi slum is better and more instinctively organised than many Western towns, London's Daily Telegraph said.

It explains why the Queen clings to life and the crown so tenaciously. She hopes he goes first and then the grandson gets the throne.

Prince Charles should live there for a year and report back. The Queen is doing GB a favor by hanging in there. This buffoon is a loon.

If you have to wake up to Camilla each morning - living in a shanty town might not be so bad.

Hey Prince, why don’t YOU leave the Palace and go live in a slum???/s
To: Piefloater
Proof positive that Royal inbreeding is not a good thing.
UK has lost all claim to Western cultural leadership.
Be warned UK today is the end product of the insanity that is Liberalism!

Let’s see now: this is a guy who had a choice between sleeping with Princess Di and Camille ... and he chose Camille. Enough said.

Hmmmmm.....
Makes me wonder if they test the water in these several ancient residences for heavy metals and other pollutants.

I think that the actual residents of the slum would beg to differ.

My God...either this is some kind of sick joke or India has changed a *lot* since I was there a number of years ago.I didn't see *one* square foot of Dehli that's a model for Western...Eastern....Northern...or Southern life.
I guarantee you of *that*!

He’s off his head. Literally off his head.
I hope our dear Queen can find a way to have him leapfrogged in the line of succession. Right now he’s coming off as a slightly saner version of Joe Biden.

It really is long past time for a vaudeville hook to come out from behind the curtains and yank Price Charles out of the public eye.
It's like he's brain damaged or something.
