WHEN the Royal Family sits down to discuss their future, it is to be hoped they will not forget the past and why we have a monarchy.

The monarchy is there to defend and protect the people of these isles, nay, the Commonwealth, from devious, ambitious clergy and politicians, be they of their own nationality or foreign.

As a nation, we have turned our backs on God, for which we are being chastened.

When we were threatened by the same that threaten today, King George VI called the nation to prayer. Have his descendants forgotten how?

J ROBINSON, Corbridge Court, Clitheroe.
