Should this column be more frugal or less frugal? As an unelected column should it be allowed to ask someone else to squeeze its toothpaste tube? Should it be required to give an account of its expenditure, its private minicabs and the cost of refurbishing itself?
If I have to read another word about Prince Charles, his money and what he does or does not do with it, I think I shall scream. I shall scream even louder if I have to read any more articles by commentators attacking him for having Michael Fawcett in the bathroom or complaining that he is a miser.
I don’t know what moron at the Palace suggested that the Prince reveal details of his income and how he spends it, but it was always bound to be a Morton’s Fork situation. Personally, I don’t care if he spends it on coloured condoms. The royal family and its money is possibly one of the most boring subjects of today.
