So … Charles does not like Nicholas Witchell of the BBC and was quite undiplomatically rude about him.

Clarence House make the excuse that he was upset by paparazzi the day before and so he seems to be taking it out on Witchell.

Is this any way for someone in public life to talk about others? Is this what we want from a future king? If an MP had said something so insulting we would be asking for, and expecting, an apology. It has not even been said suggested in this case? Why not?

A strong leader apologises when he knows he had made a mistake or been indiscreet – will Prince Charles make such an apology to Nicholas Witchell?
