Letter: Against newspaper lampooning of royalty

Sir: Am I the only Independent reader confused by your stance on royal reporting? It is clearly sensible to report the current events involving members of the Royal Family in 'appropriate' detail and in balance with items of 'real' news. To devote approximately one third of your front page (25 August) to a desperately unfunny cartoon aimed at the Princess of Wales is not appropriate and does not reflect well on your editorial policy.

Yours faithfully,
