appalling, such a grotesquely entitled group of shameful miscreants.. He purports to be a conservationist - he is a vile hypocrite, just like his heir. I would like to see an end to shooting, I would also like to see an end to the royal family. Leeches, all of them

I couldn't agree with you more Stephen! If I had my way, there would be NO "royal family", presidents or governments and the public would be in charge of everything (after all, everything that happens affects the public but strangely enough, nothing ever seems to affect the so called "monarchy", presidents and/or governments. NO one holds them to account and even in the rare occasions when they have been caught being in the wrong, they always get completely away with it anyway! A classic example of 1 rule for them and 1 rule for us, the public)!

I worry a bit about losing the Royal Family Stephen as though they are influential, their actual powers are limited. Elected presidents? Look around the world at these to see the abuse of power that IS in their hands!

Most elected presidents do not- Germany, France etc, no reason we could not have presidents like those countries. Besides, look at the royal family - arch abusers of their position

The King, more than anyone else in our society, should be setting an example of kindness and tolerance to all living creatures.

Is the readers poll now closed? I don't normally read magazines but for the cause alone of adding my name and adding to the data I will find that a good enough reason to start (at least for one issue)!

He's happy to kill birds but is supposedly doing something to change the bear skins the guards wear. Although nothing seems to have changed!

As far as I am aware Shelley, I haven't heard of "him" doing anything to stop the bear fur currently being used for the "guards hats". Not surprising though considering he has gone, and therefore must agree with, sick "trophy hunting" himself!

What a loathsome hypocrite he is! It sickens me to see the so called 'celebrities' bowing and scrapping to him. He should try living on a state pension as people who can't afford a bit of meat from the butchers have to.

As I have mentioned before, I have NO time for ANY of the so called "royal family" and my comment would be removed if I said what I truly thought of them all but the words "hypocrite" and "child" don't even come close to describing "him" or any of the so called "royal family"! The amount of wealth these "people" get (this interesting recent article says it all: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0lnzx73pl3o) and what do they use it for?! Helping stop the biodiversity crisis? No. Helping fund proper nature reserves and/or truly green initiatives (such as solar panels on all house and business roofs) for everyone? No. Helping stop the cost of living crisis for millions of pets and people? No. They use it for breeding thousands of birds just to cruelly and barbarically take their lives away from them, to go shooting innocent and endangered wild animals for sick so called "trophies" and to pay others to do their own cooking, cleaning, laundry, transport and even to put the socks on their feet (things millions of us do for ourselves every day) and then whining when they can't do/get it??!!! On a positive note though, I am very gladly surprised, to see that 2 thirds of those people polled wanted to see an end to shooting innocent birds for so called "fun".
