I am sorry for people who seem compelled by their jealousy to decry our Royal Family.

Their days are filled with engagements they dutifully attend whether they want to or not.

They bring a lot of wealth in tourism to Britain and the Princess Royal has always kept a very sensible and low profile, even when her life was going badly.

I honour her as I honour our Queen, who has sacrificed her life and freedom for this country. I am ashamed of people who decry them and dare to call themselves British.
