Princely duty

SIR – Prince Harry (report, January 5) is a graduate of Sandhurst, where the motto is “Serve to Lead”, meaning that the purpose of being a leader is to put those under your command at the front and centre of your decisions.

He is a scion of the family that is the global representation of our nation. His grandmother spent 70 years embodying what “Serve to Lead” means. While he may have chosen not to be an active member of that family, he still has a duty to put this country before himself. In publicly airing his version of events about family spats, he sadly seems to have forgotten that. Andrew Holgate
