Meanest Story nominee:Prince Charles has Alzheimer's

Publication: Globe
Date: 14 February 2011

There were several stories this week that could qualify as being mean, but because I see the stories every week, I dismissed several that were just re-hashes. On the other hand, the Globe claiming that Prince Charles has Alzheimer's is a new mean story and it definitely gets a Meanest Story nomination. The sub-headlines read:

• Wills'N'Kate Wedding Tragedy!
• Shocking memory loss stuns Camilla!

I have no idea if the story is true and I have little love for the monarchy, but I wouldn't wish Alzheimer's on anybody. Best wishes to Prince Charles, his family and friends.
