SIR: I am, I think, like most of the public, sick of the media and TV going on about the Royal divorces.

Again, I say Prince Charles is a hypocrite and has no right ever to rule England. Common people get divorced and know hardship, and their children suffer more than the Royal children will ever do. There should be more coverage in this country about the poor people, the homes closing, where some elderly people have settled. Also,there are those who cannot get work.

It's the public that keep the Royals in luxury while England's elderly suffer.

Princess Di and Fergie are well rid of their ex-husbands, I say.
