LETTER : Awry Royal recollection
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.From Mrs Jennifer Miller
Sir: The editor of Majesty magazine, Nigel Evans, is mistaken in thinking that no one helped the Princess of Wales when she joined the Royal Family ("How to marry a royal (without ending up in therapy)", 15 February).
Even as a bride, Diana had four ladies-in-waiting (her mother, grandmothers and four great-aunts having all held such court posts at various dates). She was advised and guided by Prince Charles's Secretary and staff; Michael Shea, the Queen's Press Secretary, also gave her a lot of help.
In her Panorama interview, the Princess of Wales gave the impression that she had been suddenly plunged, quite unprepared, into an Australian tour, which did not, in fact, take place until two years after her marriage.
Yours faithfully,
Jennifer Miller
