The Prince of Wales and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, had some car trouble during their official visit to Papua New Guinea, abandoning their vehicle after it broke down in Port Moresby, The Telegraph reported.
When their black Mercedes wouldn't start, the royal couple waited a few minutes and then transferred to a silver Range Rover.
Earlier in the day, Prince Charles visited the Hohola Youth Development Centre, The Telegraph reported, while Camilla visited the Haus Ruth Women's Refuge.
The couple then reunited at Remembrance Park for a wreath-laying ceremony.
After changing cars, Prince Charles and his wife boarded a plane for Queensland, Australia, for the next leg of their Diamond Jubilee tour, which is scheduled to last for six days, according to The Telegraph. The royal couple will also visit New Zealand to mark the Queen's 60-year reign.

I'm not sure how this is possible but, based on the picture, Charles is older than him mother. Perhaps it's life with Camilla that is causing his rapid aging. I know that waking up to her every morning would age me.
Change coyote ugly to Camilla ugly!
Post, I hate to sound catty too, but, woa....he has aged. He is in my age group and my father, God rest his soul, looker younger than Charles now when he passed is his 80s. Whatever Carmilla has, she can keep.
Ugly people, both of them. He's just plain old looking and she has an unhappy horse-face.
For a coddled, chauvinistic snob, Charles sure has a LOT of military medals pinned to his business suit, especially since he never served in the military. Camilla looks more like a horse every day. I didn't know they had cars in Papua New Guinea.

What a gift for Britain if they were forced to stay there.......... Perhaps "LOL" David Cameron could join them with his darling Rebbeca Brooks........
