Charles and Camilla follow Michael Howard

If the fiasco over their wedding was getting them down there is some consolation for Prince Charles and is fiancee -- they have been banned from the White House. This follows Michael Howard's banning in August 2004.

Howard's unflinching refusal to be cowed by the ban appears to have worked wonders -- the Mirror reports that Karl Rove, whose idea was the ban, was forced into an embarassing backtrack and has even offered to help Howard in the election campaign. Imagine what Tony Blair could have achieved if he had shown similar spine!
