CRITICISMS OF THE QUEEN

LORD ALTRINCHAM SAYS DID NOT MEAN TO BE 'PERSONAL OR BEASTLY'

London, Aug. 6.

Lord Altrincham, whose criticisms of the Queen aroused nation-wide controversy, said on television tonight that he regretted any impression that he was hostile to the Queen as his feelings about her "could not be warmer."

He said in an interview, seen and heard by millions of Bri- lons, "I very much regret that anyone should have thought I was hostile to the Queen or try- ing to attack her in a personal way or be beastly about it.'

But he reiterated his criticism of the Court and said his pur- pose in publishing his views in

he edits was to bring about a change in the atmosphere of the Court.

"I AM SORRY'

Το the suggestion that he might have hurt the Queen'a feelings, he agreed that this was possible, edding:

"I am sorry if I hurt the feel- ings in the Royal Family. It is the last thing I want."

He told the television audience tonight that I was painful to have to make the altack, but there was a very wide sange of activities essential to the good functioning ci the Monarchy which was not the responsibility of Ministers.
