Prince Charles and architecture

Postby EMDEE » Fri Jun 19, 2009 12:15 am

Prince Charles has been criticised by a leading architect for becoming involved in the plans for Chelsea Barracks:

Not only this, but Lord Hattersley has also commented as follows:

"His interference in the Chelsea Barracks decision exemplifies all that is most unacceptable about a hereditary monarchy. As a result of blood and birth, a middle-aged man of no particular merit enjoys a special status in society."

Is this really an acceptable way to speak about our much respected and beloved heir to the throne? :? :roll:

I tend to agree with Prince Charles' opinion of much modern-day "architecture" - it is boxed, characterless and ugly.
