They tend to be civil servants, often diplomats drawn from the Foreign Office, who may be very pleasant, intelligent people, but once they get inside the Palace they're riveted to the status quo and they lose track of public opinion in the real world. Anthony Holden
Charles was very intent to use his years as Prince of Wales to make his mark while he still had freedom of maneuver that he wouldn't have as King. The first subject he really went for was architecture. It made an impact. Anthony Holden
Anthony Holden quote: "It was delightful but, of course, it was pretty insulting to..."
It was delightful but, of course, it was pretty insulting to my professional reputation. Anthony Holden
I don't accept at all the quite popular argument that the press is responsible for the monarchy's recent troubles. The monarchy's responsible for the monarchy's recent troubles. To blame the press is the old thing of blaming the messenger for the message. Anthony Holden
Anthony Holden quote: "I think the relation between the monarchy and the press is..."
