Letter: Better Queen Anne than King Charles
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 ITV programme on the Prince of Wales re-emphasised that he is unfit to be king. If we want a head of state who is free to express personal opinions, we should have the chance to vote for a president. Prince Charles either does not, or wishes not, to understand the role of the Royal Family in a constitutional monarchy. A conspicuous non-achiever, he takes every media opportunity to broadcast his ill-informed opinions on subjects he knows nothing about. The Queen, on the other hand, is the epitome of a constitutional monarch, and long may she reign.
It is time to change the constitution, to remove the primacy of the first-born, and male heirs. It is time to ask Prince Charles to step down in favour of Princess Anne, who has shown, with enormous dignity, how to perform successfully, whether as a competitor in the Olympics or President of Save the Children. We have done well with our Queens, so let us stick with a winning formula.
Yours faithfully,
