Oh dear...you really think it would be feasible, or anything other than counter-productive, for the royal family (or indeed any other prominent public figure) to refute every piece of hearsay tittle-tattle about them which appears in the media? Of course it isn’t. The only proper response to such things is silence. And in making so much of the the royal assent, you again illustrate your misinterpretation of the constitutional position. Although you continue to deny this, the fact is that she had, unfortunately, no choice in the matter.
I’m not the one denying that there was indeed a choice to refuse assent. Why do you continuously portray the liberals as an indomitable force that must be yielded to at every turn, especially at the expense of civil society and at the expense of the church?
Furthermore, if something uttered about the queen happens to be a lie, the proper response is legal force and not silence, because silence turns it into the seeming truth.
