THIS

DECISION ABOUT PRINCE CHARLES

by MERRICK WINN

THE "Altrincham row," which had quietened down a bit, will certainly get going again now, The decision of the Queen and Prince Philip to send their son to one of the most exclusive preparatory schools in the country will surely liberate a fresh flood of unexclusive blather (dictionary:"loquacious nonsense"),

Among the unthinking, that is....

Lord Altrincham told the nation on TV last week: "Ile should be going to a State primary school...."

Well, Prince Charles is NOT going to a State primary school. He is going to Cheam School, at Headley, Berks, which at £94 10s. a term is a very private school indeed; a school which probably has no blackboard big enough to take all the chalked-up titles.

The Altrinchamites will no doubt see in this still another sign of a clinging to outmoded methods of monarchy, It.need be nothing of the kind. It could be a liberat sign.

Many of us agreed with much of what Lord Altrin- cham had to say (merely quarrelling with his way of saying it). But many of us would now think it most certainly wrong to see in this decision any influence what ever of what his lordship called the "tweedy set,"

This is, more likely, a DEFEAT for the tweedy set. Who could have brought about this defeat? There would seem little doubt: the man who once sat at the desks where Prince Charles will sit and who, perhaps, was even taught by the same teachers.

His father.

Modernisation

PRINCE PHILIP has already implied his wish to

"modernise the monarchy." This can be Interpreted us a step in that direction.

history has been taught. The Queen hersuff; her father; his father. Right back.

Prince Charles is the first to break out from this tradition. He is the first to be freed from the stuffy seclusion and the very private eyes of tutors and gov- ernesses. And the loneliness,

He went to scho in Kensington, working and playing and larking about with a bunch of other boys, And there he learned what company was. And he learned there was a world outside Buckingham Palace.

Now he goes to Cheam, as a boarder. True, an exclu- sive school; if you like, a snob school. True, he wil mix with lords and the sons of Lords; even with the sons of the tweedy set.
