SIR – Amid the deeply troubling reports regarding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, let’s not forget two aspects of this affair in which we can take great pride.

The first is that, in this country, no one – however senior or well-connected – is above the law.

The second is the standard of selfless service, set by the King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal and Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, which remains the envy of the world.
