Regal example

THE ‘Labour for a Republic’ group is aggrieved that the accession of King Charles III means a ‘white, privileged male’ is head of state.

Has it occurred to them that, thanks to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and her consort Prince Philip, we had a woman, married to an immigrant, as our head of state for 70 years?

Not only that, we had a female head of state at a time when the U. S., France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and most other liberal European republics had never elected a female president.

The monarchy has done more for minority representation than

most of the republics these failed revolutionaries want to ape. ROBERT FRAZER, Salford, Gtr Manchester.
