Prince Andrew
I have read the interview in full. The Prince does a useful job promoting British business successfully and with sincerity. His comment about bonuses was very unwise and showed a lack of sensitivity not only to the plight of ordinary people in his country, but little understanding of the sacrifices they are being asked to make in order to fund the £trillion of taxpayers’ money to keep these banks afloat. I know he means well, but in his privileged position when he only has to mutter and the media listen, that is not enough. I am not among those who think the monarchy ‘above politics’ but it is at a level demanding considerable tact in its choice of words.
