Prince Charles embraces frugality - really

The report at the link below is about Prince Charles (pictured) the 'poor little rich boy.' It is titled, Royal in Recession: Prince Charles embraces frugality.

From the report:

Charles, the Prince of Wales, doesn't exactly have to save for a rainy day: he collects Aston Martins, has three chauffeurs, and holds overseas investments totaling at least $68 million.

But as Britain copes with a bleak economic forecast and austerity measures meant to tackle its $230 billion deficit, the future king has embraced a royal version of frugality sure to make playboy princes around the world quiver: he's cutting back on canapés
and hosting drinks parties instead of lavish dinners.

The last year he even reduced his official spending by almost four and one half percent!

Are you impressed? Me neither.
