So you don't think Charles has a right to express an opinion.
Actually he does - in fact many Princes of Wales have interferred without the flack Charles is getting.
It is the monarch who can't do these things.
In the past Princes of Wales have voted in the House of Lords and I remember that Edward VII was upset when not allowed to vote in the Lords on a housing bill because he knew that without his obvious support the bill wouldn't pass but he also knew that he could, and did, make his views known. The bill didn't pass but not because he didn't try to influence the vote.
