SOUNDBITE: (English) Charles, Prince of Wales "My wife and I are deeply grateful to you Mr President and Mrs Bush for your generous hospitality towards us: the more so as I am only too conscious of the enormous challenges and responsibilities which face the 43rd President of the United States. And I need hardly say that so many people throughout the world look to the United States of America for a lead on the most crucial issues that face our planet and indeed the lives of our grandchildren. Truly the burden of the world rests on your shoulders. In conclusion, may I propose a toast to you Mr President, to Mrs Bush and to the people of the United States of America." POOL 3.

Zoom out to wide of gala dinner with guests applauding STORYLINE Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, were treated to a White House black-tie evening on Wednesday, featuring dinner and dancing with several dozen luminaries from the worlds of politics, history, writing, diplomacy and sports. During a banquet in the State Dining Room, President Bush raised a toast to the enduring friendship between Britain and the United States which was echoed in return by Prince Charles. The prince also made a toast of his own, emphasising the leading role played by the United States in what he called crucial issues facing the world. The Bushes, the royal couple and about 130 guests dined on celery broth with rock shrimp, medallions of buffalo tenderloin, roasted corn and wild rice pancakes. Dinner was followed by music from celebrated cellist Yo Yo Ma and dancing. It was Charles and Camilla's second meal of the day at the White House. Earlier, they lunched alongside about a dozen guests in the building's Family Dining Room. Earlier on Wednesday, Charles and Camilla travelled to one of Washington's poorest neighbourhoods to tour a public boarding school that Mrs. Bush wanted to showcase as an example of American educational innovation. With an American tour that began on Tuesday in New York, Charles and Camilla are looking to stoke some transatlantic enthusiasm for their new marriage. Camilla has long been reviled in the British press as the woman who broke up Princess Diana's marriage to Charles, but she has begun to gain acceptance with increasingly high-profile appearances since the long-time loves wed in April. On Friday, Charles and Camilla are due to fly to New Orleans to view the city's recovery from hurricane Katrina.
