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.
