I've had a letter from Buckingham Palace

[bens_dad]

I wrote to the King, asking him not to visit the United States as part of their celebration of 250 years of independence from the UK and our monarchs.

I have had a reply.

Sadly it is marked "Private and Confidential" so I cannot tell you what it said.

I wasn't really hoping for a reply and the King now knows how I feel.
I will just have to hope that he does the right thing.

The only previous time I wrote to the Palace, the Queen was overtaken by events:
Boris resigned whilst I was at the post box !

Thank you for writing.

There is more than one way of reading the reply.
Yesterday's I News ( https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/revealed-kings-private-concerns-over-trumps-state-visit-strong-4451970 ) reports Charles is expected to support government policy whatever his private views. suggesting that the Palace reply to my letter have been a coded way of saying "I have to do what the PM asks."
