Prince William says that Prince Charles straight-up lets squirrels run around
Birkhall, his home in Scotland. Also, he names them. At this point, he's just
tossing out tabloid headlines to royal reporters like gold coins thrown to
medieval Londoners.
As part of the frankly rather aggressive national festivities to celebrate
Prince Charles's 70th birthday, the man himself guest edited an issue of
Britain's Country Life magazine. (Checks out.) People combed the issue for
details and discovered that Prince Charles is obsessed with red squirrels.

You see, Prince William says so: "He is completely infatuated by the red
squirrels that live around the [Birkhall] estate in Scotland - to the extent
that he's given them names and is allowing them into the house!" I am truly
beginning to wonder about the relationship between these two, but Charles
In another article on the animals, Charles notes, "They come into the house
at Birkhall and we get them chasing each other round and round inside. If I sit
there quietly, they will do so around me. Sometimes, when I leave my jackets
on a chair with nuts in the pockets, I see them with their tails sticking out,
as they hunt for nuts - they are incredibly special creatures."
This is officially the most aristocrat thing Ive ever heard in my entire
life, surpassing even the Marquess of Bath and his "wifelets" and Somerset
safari park.
Seems like I remember something along the same lines when I saw a
documentary about Buckingham Palace a while back, they were all
infatuated with the squirrels on the grounds. The idle rich have to
entertain themselves some way I guess.

Personally I've come to despise the little bastards, as a matter of fact
I just paid $48 after one of them climbed into my engine compartment and
chewed on a water hose until it leaked. They also like to chew the
padding that's attached to the hood. The auto tech suggested I stuff a
couple of bags of moth balls in that area, which I did.

I have them in my backyard...I hate 'em...I have bird feeders and they raid them
all...they're used to me running out the back and waving my arms and yelling...I
have an apple tree and use the apples to throw at 'em

Yeah I'm also a bird feeder, I have an umbrella trap that won't let them
climb up the sunflower seed feeder pole, but the suet feeder is just
hanging on a tree and I have to keep an eagle eye on that.

Keep meaning to buy me a BB pistol, probably wouldn't scare them off for
good but it would give me a lot of emotional satisfaction, lol.
