The Globe and mail wrote up an interesting article the other day surrounding Prince Charles, wife Camilla and their recent trip to Canada.

When contacted for the reasoning as to why BlackBerry smartphones were given to the couple, McGuinty's spokeswomen stated "the BlackBerrys were “entirely” the Premier’s idea and he routinely gives BlackBerrys while hosting foreign dignitaries and when traveling abroad." And Karman Wong stated "I recall on a 2005 trade mission to China where he pulled out a BlackBerry to show a Chinese minister the device - which at the time wasn't really permitted in the country.”
