Prince Charles issues warning on the arts

Many theatres and concert halls are struggling after closing their doors during lockdown, with no clear indication of when shows might resume,

Prince Charles said it was important to "find a way of keeping these orchestras and other arts bodies going".

The prince, who is patron of dozens of arts institutions, noted they were of "enormous importance" to the economy.

"It's absolutely crucial that they can come back twice as enthusiastic as before," he said in an interview with Classic FM.

Couldn't Markle help raise money for the arts? Isn't that something that she could do to help save the world and "make a difference" as she always professes that she want to do?

She certainly has taken enough money from the British taxpayer.

Why the would she want to help the UK. The tabloids and the Brf have conjointly made the UK look like a racist Shit hole. The BRF is nose bombing. And people aren't buying the pr anymore. Why because of the Brf use the same racist tabloids to promote themselves. They fucked up.

They can always pick fruit with the rest of us.

He should ask his mama to help, she's worth billions and you can't take it with you. She's done nothing to help her subjects during this crisis.

Priorities and peoples financial situations have changed. Only someone who doesn't do work for their paycheck would suggest going to the theatre etc when putting food in the cupboards and paying rent is more important.

Haha I blocked R1 that made that Markel comment and found that it’s also OP and number of other posts. There is snark, there is pointless bitchiness, then there is obsession. Get over Meghan OP.

So Op just made a thread to have a go at Meghan. They are freakin obsessed psychotic nutbags. Every single comment made on LSA Meghan Markle Unpopular thread is screenshot and logged. Yesterday a font called Aunt Jane mentioned this site and how there was backlash at their surrogate doll theories. Those nutters post here. Today a brand new font called Nouraj stated Meghan would assassinate Kate's kids if she could. Ripped into Doria and proceeded to racist it up by using Racecard and other dog whistles. It is going to be so satisfying when the fonts on that thread face the legal actions coming their way. People don't pay people to monitor threads for nothing. They post here.

I think R3 has it. Give concerts in orchards across the county, people pick the fruit with enough space for social distancing, one tree per concert goer, and the band gets paid and the pickers get paid. Win/win.

The arts should get a bailout just the airline industry. The performing arts are shut down with no end in sight. Broadway and theatre throughout the US has come to a halt. The industry needs help.

Charles needs to get out of his ivory tower once in a while, most people are too worried about their jobs and homes to think about propping up theatres which they themselves never go to.

We'll soon be going back to museums except we'll have to keep socially distant and crowds will be non-existent which is a great thing. Performing artists will have to get very creative which for some, ironically, is beyond their capabilities. Regardless the Arts are going to have to reflect reality now in a way that they could bypass before.

And how much has he donated to the arts? Sod off! When ultra wealthy people demand that YOU donate to something, tell them -YOU FIRST!

by Anonymousreply 12May 26, 2020 10:56 AM

Charles and Elizabeth could save the arts with huge donation, perhaps $100 - 200 hundred million. That is nothing for them. Charles yaps about picking fruit and donating to the arts, all the while sitting with his mother on a huge pile of money. Most rich people with a moral compass donate a lot of money to causes. Has Charles ever talked to Bill Gates, who has been giving away his fortune for the past 2 decades?

A few paintings and some jewelry could be sold to save the arts. Yet these two fuckers would never do that.

I'm living for you all dragging that welfare family! Charles means well, but such things never sounds right from a family with multiple palaces and staff. I don't blame them, they have an image to project as directed by the government, but it's still funny. Meanwhile, Charle's son is in LA, with Meghan (apparently the worst woman in human history, according to DL), giving out food supplies to families in need.

I'm sure Charles knew he'd be criticized for his statement, but he took the hits and the issue is being talked about. Beats keeping quite.

Charles needs to shut up and smile for the cameras. That’s his only job, and he’s not doing it right lately.

by Anonymousreply 15May 26, 2020 8:46 PM

r15 doesn't he have a responsibility to use his position for the good. He's probably patron of many art organizations so he may feel personally driven to do something.

by Anonymousreply 16May 26, 2020 8:51 PM

R16, like telling unemployed people to stop complaining and pick vegetables?

He doesn’t seem to have any understanding of what normal people go through right now with the current economic uncertainty.

I’m a big supporter of the arts, but so don’t think that’s what most people worry about right now.

by Anonymousreply 17May 26, 2020 9:17 PM

Meghan and Harry are doing no such thing r14. Meghan did another of her famous one time apoearences and photo ops. She's done now. Super quiet on all the BLM stuff too. Charles could save the arts with the money that was wasted on Harry's garbage wife.

This is a project for Camilla. She could be the face of how ugly life gets when the arts aren’t funded or supported....... I mean that’s the face only an inbred, closeted, momma’s boy with a small dick could fuck and still manage a little squirt on the old hag’s sagging tits.
