Letter: A better prince than we deserve
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Bryan Appleyard ('What he needs is a proper job', 29 June) played the tabloid tune, scorning the efforts of the Prince of Wales to do his job. The British public has enjoyed its Royal Family but now, like a spoilt child, takes a perverse pleasure in trying to destroy its favourite possession.
Prince Charles is subjected both to sycophancy and to an invasion of privacy and public insult going far beyond what is handed out to any other individual citizen. It is time we started to treat the Royal Family with some dignity and common sense. We are lucky in the high calibre of the heir to the throne. On present showing, it is more than we deserve.
Yours sincerely,
