Letter: Respect for Royal Family's grief

Sir: At last! John Campbell's letter of 4 September is a clear, common-sense change from the outpouring of faux misery which has, alas, cluttered the columns of your previously distinguished newspaper as well as the predatory, greedy and self-righteous tabloids.

You seem to be using this event to whip up a frenzy of tasteless public feeling against the monarchy. One of your reports ("Charles and Camilla forced to part", 4 September) suggests that The Prince of Wales "may be booed and hissed at [the] funeral". The power of suggestion is great. Shame on you all.
