    disappointing so far, going by the guardian which has the quickest feed on it.... Mostly wildlife/charity stuff

    was hoping for some confirmation of the rumours he considered converting to islam and the whole "defender of the faith(s)" thing.

    Doesn't seem so if I'm honest.

    The numbering is slightly strange on the pages though....

    They were probably cover sheets, abstracts, etc.

    I'm not starting any conspiracy theories or anything, just thought it was weird.

    Because they've been hidden for ages, so a lot of theories have sprung up around what they entail, and Charlies is pretty bonkers anyway, so it could have been anything.

    There are some aspects of the way the govt interacts with the monarchy that are considered to hold a special kind of privilege. The Guardian are historically left leaning and republican and have hammered the freedom of information laws to get this stuff published for a long time.

    A decade long campaign? Well I hope it was worth it Guardian, but if they're all as exciting as this:

    If you read them whilst listening to Eminem's Stan they take on a whole new twist.

    Because the monarchy is supposed to be politically neutral and the government claims the letters would be damaging to that perception of neutrality in that the prince dealt heavily with one side.

    And the biggest controversy seems to be that Charles get's his letters read by Tone.

    Well played Guardian, sure it was worth it.

    Well they seem rather boring. They just reflect the points that Prince Charles speaks on publicly.

    Unsure why the government was so against their publication.

    Am disappoint, was expecting they'd be written in cursive with a fancy wax seal.

    well I am guessing we will get to see a load more. The reason it is limited to those is you can only request so much in each FOI application or the size of the application is itself reason enough to reject it.
