Royal gun dispute

UNFORTUNATELY South Yorkshire is not the only place to suffer from wildlife persecution. However it is a relief to learn that Prince Harry (grandson of the patron of the RSPB) and his friend, (a member of the Van Cutsen family whose head is a council member for English Nature) were not involved in the shooting of two rare and protected hen harriers on the Sandringham Estate.

Investigating authorities state that no further action will be taken, having received a reassurance from the prince that he was not involved. The police have presumably accepted the alternative explanation, which is as follows:

1 Unidentified men were able to defeat royal security, gain access to the Queen’s private estate and venture close to the prince, while carrying guns.

2 The silencers on their weapons were so effective that the nearby prince and his friend ‘had no knowledge of the incident’.

Yes, I am sure that must be how it happened. I’m glad that has all been cleared up.
