PRINCE Charles’s letters barracking ministers of government policy should be released to the public, Britain’s highest court ruled yesterday.
Supreme Court judges upheld a Court of Appeal ruling that the government’s top legal adviser had acted unlawfully in preventing the public seeing the “black spider” memos, so called for the royal pest’s distinctive scrawl.
The missives, sent to seven departments between 2004 and 2005 are said to contain Mr Windsor’s “most deeply held personal views and beliefs.”
Campaign group Republic welcomed the “excellent news,” calling for the law to change so that future requests for disclosure would be successful.
A Downing Street spokeswoman said “preparatory work” was needed for the documents’ release but couldn’t yet give a timetable.
