Prince unveils online video diary
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall
The video shows the royal couple visiting Birmingham

The Prince of Wales' website has been revamped to include a video charting a day in his life and that of his wife.

The short film, which coincides with the site's relaunch, shows Charles and Camilla carrying out engagements in and around Birmingham.

Charles is seen in an open-necked shirt, with no tie, working at his desk at Clarence House on 12 September. He and Camilla later navigate Birmingham.

Clips and interviews may be added to the site in the future.

Through www.princeofwales.gov.uk, royal fans are now able to sign up for free e-mail updates on everything from Princes William and Harry to Duchy Originals.

And there is a children's zone which includes games, puzzles and facts and figures about the royals.

Prince Charles
Charles is at his least formal in the video when he is in Clarence House

The heir to the throne's internet clip, which contains a voiceover, is more formal than Conservative Party leader David Cameron's recent video diary.

With the exception of footage showing Charles working at his desk, there is no behind-the-scenes royal footage.

In stark contrast, Mr Cameron's WebCameron project showed the politician talking in his kitchen while doing the washing up.

It was swiftly followed by a spoof video by a Labour MP.
