Prince Charlie and a traditional English stag do?

"THE PRINCE of Wales is to visit West Cumbria just two weeks before his wedding to Camilla Parker-Bowles.

It will be the Prince's second visit to Cumbria in three months back in January he made a special visit to Carlisle to talk to residents and businesses.

He is coming to West Cumbria on Tuesday, March 22 - just 17 days before he weds his long-term partner Camilla Parker-Bowles at Windsor Guildhall on April 8. He is understood to be visiting Cockermouth.

The timing of the visit has fuelled speculation that he might be coming to the Lakes for his stag night celebrations. However, details of the prince's visit are being kept firmly under wraps at the moment.

The Clarence House press office said he was going to be "out of town" at the end of the month and that visits are not usually confirmed officially until two weeks before. But a spokesman added it was likely the prince would be coming to Cockermouth this month. "
