'The royal family don't really have power, they are purely symbolic and good for tourism ... blah, blah, blah ...' Yawn.
'British high court has blocked attempts to force the publication of the content of controversial letters to ministers in which heir to the British throne tried to alter government policies.
Prince Charles is required to be politically neutral but cabinet minister have conceded that his letters to them contained “most deeply held personal views and beliefs” on matters he should avoid. Attorney general Dominic Grieve had earlier vetoed the publication of the letters and on Tuesday England and Wales’s top judge Lord Judge ruled that Grieve’s move has been appropriate.
The attorney general had vetoed the publication of the 27 letters under the pretence that it would damage the public trust in his political neutrality, especially in his capacity as the future ruler of Britain.'
