I personally reached the end of the line with letters to the Royal Family and the bland replies, if I was "lucky". However, I find myself with the energy to get on the case again, and set out below my latest missive to Sir Edward Young. We can all engage in this way, if we can be bothered and if we accept that we will not receive a response of any substance. At the very least, it's a reminder to them thai none of this is going away any time soon.
Sir Edward Young
Office of His Majesty’s Principal Private Secretary
Buckingham Palace, London, SW1A 1AA
Dear Sir
As Private Secretary to the Monarch, I am sure you must possess a remarkable grasp of our constitution. I would be most grateful if you would kindly enlighten me on the following questions (please cite specific reference to the relevant statutes or other principle on which you rely):
1. On what basis is a person resident in the United States qualified to serve as a Counsellor of State in the UK?
2. On what basis is a child who is not demonstrably “born of the body” qualified to be included in the line of succession?
3. Is there any threshold of sustained corruption and depravity perpetuated by titled members of the Royal Family, which if exceeded should give the Monarch cause to act unambiguously to uphold our constitution? Please address in particular:
- lying to the courts in the course of legal proceedings(perjury) and flouting its orders (contempt);
- bullying, including directly and indirectly publishing in the United States and elsewhere divisive and mischievous lies which foment racial disharmony and bring this country, the Commonwealth and their peoples into disrepute;
- attacking our system of government and the role and credibility of admired members of the Royal Family and their children, including supporting those third parties who hatefully do so at their instruction;
- deliberately refusing to provide clarification to address genuine public anxieties as to matters of fundamental importance to continuing public support for an hereditary constitutional monarchy, notably the qualification of offspring to be included in the line of succession, wilfully withholding basic information and deceiving the public;
- profiteering from royal connections for personal gain;
- financial mismanagement of charitable donations;
- collaborating with foreign states or other third parties to undermine our monarchy and/or our settled values of justice and freedom of speech which the Monarch has pledged to uphold
4. What actions by the Monarch would be appropriate, in your view, with respect to corruption and depravity of the type listed in 3 above?
5. In what circumstances would the Monarch be justified in concealing, facilitating or turning a blind eye to corruption and depravity of the type listed in 3 above?
6. In what circumstances would Parliament be justified in conniving with the Monarch to conceal, facilitate or turn a blind eye to corruption and depravity of the type listed in 3 above?
Given that our monarchy exists only with the consent of the people, it is reasonable that the answers to these questions are made transparent. I therefore look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Yours faithfully etc
