Charles and the press

François Brutsch at Un Swissroll has some thoughts on the allegations being made against Prince Charles. Some commentators are, reportedly, questioning his sexuality.

I tend to avoid news reports involving the British royals unless they impact on the political sphere, and salacious gossip is not my thing, so I haven’t been following the story. However, an English friend joked recently that it’s legitimate for the British people to want to know whether their next monarch will be a king or a queen.

Not that I think it matters. But, given the level of press attention and the lack of sympathy for Charles in some quarters, it might be wise for the British monarchy to think about adopting a policy of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
