LETTER:Royal divorce: a monarchist's loyalty betrayed
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: The man who is likely to be our next monarch spoke his marriage vows in front of millions of people and shortly afterwards committed adultery. He professes anxiety about what we are doing to the environment and yet is apparently happy to drive a large gas-guzzling motor car. He claims concern about wildlife while killing animals for sport. How can anyone reasonably be expected to have respect for him and the institution he represents? The Prince of Wales has badly let down those like myself who would, on balance, sooner have the monarchy than any of the alternatives likely to be on offer.
