I've had a letter from Buckingham Palace
Tuesday, 17 February 2026 12:03 pmI 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 !
