LETTER: We subjects are not amused
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 Mr Robert Readman
Sir: The Princess of Wales is now being pilloried for not attending Sandringham at Christmas. With a cunning worthy of Machiavelli, the Queen invites Diana for Christmas, but follows it up a week before the event with the announcement that she and her husband must get divorced.
The sickening thing in this whole sorry affair is that the Prince of Wales has not once expressed sorrow for betraying his wife, nor has there been any word of condemnation for him from the Queen or Prince Philip. Rather, he has chosen to lay the blame for his predicament on everyone else, including Diana and his parents. Even more shamefully, the Palace has taken every opportunity to denigrate and destroy the Princess who, after all, only turned to other men once her husband had blatantly shown his lack of love and respect for her and his sons.
Do we really want a man of this calibre to reign over us?
The Windsors need to be reminded that they rule not by "Divine Right" as espoused by the Stuarts, but by the will of the people and the people's will is being sorely tried.
Sincerely,
Robert Readman
