I support the monarchy as a system of government, because I feel that having a head of state ABOVE the cut and thrust of politics is a good thing. The Presidential system in other countries has thrown up some dodgy characters as heads of state.

What irritates me is the way the Royal Family has become a soap opera, with everything each of them does reported in minor detail.

What Prince Harry does is up to Prince Harry. He is entitled to the same degree of privacy that EVERY other citizen enjoys. If he served with distinction in Afghanistan, I give that exactly the same degree of respect (which of course is immense) as every other young person doing the same.

No more and no less.
