What I can't stand is this trendy, faux-republican attitude a lot of people in Britain have towards our Royal Family. The desire for disestablishment of the Royal Family befits only the mind of immature iconoclasts.
And in spite of my own criticism of Harry's gaming, I think Harry has proved himself a true lion heart with his exploits in Iraq.
But more importantly, we in Britain - and worldwide - should feel very fortunate that we have his father HRH Prince Charles to fight a number of good causes.
The causes he has championed demonstrates his sensitivity, lucidity and orthodoxy towards the environment which should force us to a consensus that, far from his privilege background making him an ivory-towered irrelevance, he lives above the limits and disinterest of the rat-race that provides him the means to address the plight of our planet.
In the last year, Charles has voiced concern for the London skyline and its conservation - Erstwhile mayor Ken Livingstone was wont to erect ephemeral glass monstrosities and Stalinesque cinder blocks which only violated the beautiful antiquity of the capital.
He has campaigned to save an historical town in Beijing from being demolished (the rate at which China is destroying its beautiful history in the name of progress is alarming).
Now, he has patronised a website to educate us about the fatuous destruction of the rain-forest. Credit where credit is due.
I will leave you with an article he wrote for the Telegraph:
Today is World Environment Day, a day that should remind us that there is
just the smallest window left for us to act to stop catastrophic climate change.
The frightening reality is that the consequences of global warming are being
felt far more rapidly than most scientists predicted even 18 months ago.Today is

This is a well written testimonial! I congratulate you to be such a vocal advocate of The Prince of Wales. I think, he is demonised by people who want to prevent his ideas being given the credit they deserve.
Keep on defending the Monarchy and the Heir to the Throne.
Thank you for your comments. Glad to know there is more than one raven at the Tower still.
