I think Nigel Farage's criticism is a compliment to the heir to the throne. It shows him to to be a compassionate and thoughtful person - more than can be said about Nigel Farage.

aHis grandmother is now deceased and the world is moving on.

Well I think his grandmother would have been horrified.

I’m sure the wording of this statement was carefully studied before it was spoken and as the world opinions on this awful war has shifted perhaps the prince thought it was time to express an opinion.

Nigel Farage is not someone I’d take any notice of. I’d go as far as to say perhaps the whole of Scotland… or a good Majority anyway of us would ignore him.

No doubt if his opinion had agreed with Mr Farage he would have applauded it. I'm pleased to see that we have a future king who is prepared to speak out but remain diplomatic. His words were very carefully chosen.

I disagree. The King, when Prince of Wales, let his opinions on various issues be known. William is not the monarch and I see no reason why he can’t speak out on such an issue.

What do you think?

In my opinion William needs to understand what accepting the privilege of Royalty means.
You can have private opinions but keep them to yourself.

This is NOT the job of the Monarchy to get involved.
