Says the BBC:

As the Dalai Lama arrived at the gates of Clarence House, he saluted a policeman on guard before greeting traditional Tibetan musicians who were playing in his honour.

When Prince Charles emerged from the royal residence him the Dalai Lama grinned broadly and hurried forward.

The pair grasped each other’s hand tightly and chatted to each other as they walked towards the waiting guests.

In his lecture, the Dalai Lama said that “the world was less religious than it used to be but stressed that it did not matter as long as believers and non-believers exercised morality.” How lovely is that? Of course, our illustrious Tony Blair found time to meet with Chinese premier Wen Jiabao two weeks ago, but had no time for the Dalai Lama. Is it any wonder I’m quite a fan of Prince Charles? These two could do a lot for the world if only they had some power that was more than ceremonial.
