Prince Harry’s attacks
sir – Prince Harry is entitled to see life through whatever strange prism he chooses (Leading Article, January 10), although the one he has selected seems depressingly myopic and self-pitying. What is unforgivable is that he knows his family will maintain a dignified silence, so his every shot is a privileged free shot.
One-sided attacks of this kind, immune to retaliation, are simple acts of bullying – and bullying is high in the “woke” hierarchy of sin.

sir – I was shocked by Dame Esther Rantzen’s letter (January 10) praising the Sussexes’ work while attacking Britain’s media, establishment and wider population.
Everything that Prince Harry accomplished, as a member of the Royal family and on behalf of the UK, should, of course, be celebrated. However, he now seeks to damage the very institution that placed him in such a privileged position, and was the foundation of his achievements.

sir – Like Esther Rantzen I remember the excitement of Harry and Meghan’s wedding, and was so proud of the Royal family for leading the way in absorbing a mixed-race marriage as utterly normal, and of the Queen for giving the couple a special role in supporting the Commonwealth. The sight of Meghan’s future father-in-law taking her down the aisle to give her away to his son is something I shall never forget.
What I shall never forgive, however, is their joint betrayal.
