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.
