Letter: Inequality still reigns over royal family

Whether the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a boy or a girl, the royal family will continue to undermine social mobility and represent Britain's undeserving rich.

Published Dec 13, 2012

While thousands of the Queen's subjects are born into poverty, her third great-grandchild will be born into a position of high status and comfort.

The royal inequality gap is in direct contradiction to everything that 21st century Britain claims to stand for.
