Hale:There is a wonderful British sitcom “Yes Minster” which deals with those sort of issues in government. There is a 30 year rule in the UK rather than a 50 year rule. But one episode is about how the Minster gave permission for documents to be seen (after the 30 year rule of course), he promised that all would be there. However, these documents would have embarrassed a collegue (he didnt know this), so they devised a plan where they would leave a note saying that all documents were there except a few for security reasons, some which would embarrass important people, others which were lost in the floods of 1960 etc.

The programme was based on real life events in government and they had a member of the civil service/ government leaking to them to show what sort of things went on.

It was quite funny really, so yes I do think the government has a way of supressing.

Just a lil bit of useless information for you.

I think it was 24th Dv. If I remember correctly William was 10th and Harry was 5th.

Rman…Thanks for that link. I myself am not surprised by that.

In this country it used to be a 50year thing before records of major events were released to the public domain. However, I do think our government has a way of skirting round these things.

As for information relating to the Royal Family, I maintain the full facts of the abdication are still being supressed.

Joanne has a news artical up on the letters that Diana wrote to members of the government will be kept private. In a way I understand that but the comment someone made of the bottom really made a good point. Her idea’s won’t be known to us. We hear so much about the letters Charles very often writes to members of the government and he also hold meetings with them at Clarence House but they want to keep Diana’s letters out of the publics view. I think it’s a bit unfair.

Rman..Chris 234 totally agree with you both.

As for Zara Phillips, yes indeed, people forget she is not on the civil list, and furthermore, she won her European title fair and square. but again the media does not focus on that.

I know the lack of news is frustrating for us royal watchers, but when you do consider what is covered and what is not covered, is it anyone the ‘backroom boys’ at the palace are endeavouring to plug any hole they find.

Thank you once again Lisa for reminding us about the unveiling. Something to look forward to.
