CHARLES and Camilla will leave Britain this summer to avoid the Princess Diana memorial concert organised by her sons. It is believed they are planning a royal tour to prevent speculation about whether they will attend the sell-out show at Wembley Stadium. Princes William, 24, and Harry, 22, are said to have their father’s full backing for the star-studded gig on July 1, the day Diana would have been 46. But a royal insider said: "Charles doesn’t want to overshadow the boys’ big day. There was a fear from some of his aides of too much attention focused on his attendance at the concert. "It was thought best that he and Camilla find themselves abroad at the time of the concert. Plans for a foreign tour are already well under way." The Prince’s press secretary, Paddy Harverson, last night refused to comment because of security reasons. He said: "We wouldn’t discuss this far in advance any movements of members of the Royal Family." The princes will also stage a memorial service on August 31 in London to mark the 10th anniversary of Diana’s death in a Paris car crash. They have already invited Charles and Camilla as well as members of Diana’s family.

I think that is some FUS. You know he is not going because he never loved her and is glad she is dead and not because he does not want to steal away from his sons’ thunder? If he were a good father he would be there for his sons, don’t you think?
