Royal gesture

IT Is all very well criticising the King’s meeting with ursula von der Leyen, but I bet those decrying it would have been equally exercised if the two hadn’t met. CHRIS PATE, Worcester. fAr from being an error of judgment, the meeting between the King and Mrs von der Leyen was a welcome step towards courtesy and co-operation, rather than division and discord.
