Prince Charles meets Australian war widow

SYDNEY, Nov 12, (AFP): Britain’s Prince Charles and his wife Camilla met war widow Daphne Dunne in Sydney Thursday, as they were mobbed by royal fans as they continued their six-day tour of Australia.

The 95-year-old Dunne, who met Charles’ son Prince Harry when he visited the Sydney Opera House in May, said the heir to the British throne still remembered their first encounter three decades ago in the capital city Canberra.

“I met him 30-odd years ago in Canberra. He said he remembered and I said, ‘so long ago?’ He said ‘yes’,” wheelchair-bound Dunne told the Sydney Morning Herald, adding that she also spoke to Camilla.
