The British Royal Way Under Scrutiny

Regarding the front-page article "Queen Calls for `Gentle' Scrutiny, Hints at Reform in British Royalty, Nov. 27: Any parent can understand the pain that the Queen of England has been going through, and my heart goes out to her, but royal hypocrisy should be uncovered. In this time of upheaval, the "royal way" can and should be setting an example for good for the world.

It is interesting that the Duke of Windsor, through his personal example, knew that hypocrisy was not the way to live and lead his people. I hope that the British royal family can truly reform and show the world a true noble path. Mardelle Westover, Globe, Ariz.
