European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 08, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse Sunday december 8, 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 commenting on the coverage of British Royalty " response to the writer who asked who gives a rats concerning photos of Britain s Royal family in a recent Issue of _ a. J in u in Viil smut u i tie Mars and stripes the answer is / do. I care and i believe there arc Many More silent americans who also enjoy Reading about and seeing photos of these famous and popular members of one of the oldest traditions in the world. Then again i have been unusually Hon ored and richly blessed by being one of a relatively Small group of people who have been Able to photograph various members of the Royal family while performing a variety of their Public functions. From movie premieres to opening new buildings trooping the Colour and the Garter ceremonies banquets state affairs and the opening of parliament a Day at the races and informal walkabouts. Even the queer s Silver Jubilee and the wed Ding of Prince Charles to lady Diana yes i be seen and photographed them All and on even rarer occasions i was privileged to share a few words with some of the royals. These Are All moments that can never be repeated or equated. Name just one function or one person in our dear . That comes close to Matching the por i circumstance spleen Dor and elegant majesty that is a common institution to the British. Though i dearly love my country and am proud of its heritage i regret that we do not have any such customs or traditions so deeply steeped in our history. America is a land of new always seeking to become newer. We tend to disregard eliminate replace or tear Down anything that comes close to being 100 years old. As of Tutto Peah edition capt Pale k.

Niaj posed to other countries which have Man aged to keep hold of the old while still find ing room for the new and modern. Culling coverage of the royals would Only Widen the Gap Between America rightfully called the new world and the old world. I might also add that while Many news casters have said the recent visit by Prince Charles and Princess Diana was Over done and Over played the fact remains that this Royal couple brought a bit of glitter Glam our and grandeur to the Good old . And that thousands of americans came from far and near to crowd the streets in Hopes of getting a glimpse of the Royal Cou ple. That can Only mean that Many More americans besides myself Are fascinated with the mystery and magic that surrounds a tradition which is and always will be for eign to most of us. Nancy a. Demko Ansbach Germany 1 watched with extreme disgust the Royalty show that took place in the United slates in the last few weeks. Docs the american press have nothing better to do than to report the antics of a few snobs scrambling for tickets for the privilege of having Tea with the representatives of an archaic oppressive system to Lisle a to Prince i do not recognize his being Prince Over any Man Charles attempt to rewrite history by saying what a Good sport and Fine Man George Iii was was More than i could stand. History has proven that this despicable character in addition to being an insane beast through his abuse of Power and his cruelty roused the colonists to throw off the Yoke of British oppression and create the United states. That is the Only thing we indirectly owe this monster and British Royalty. One does not have to be a master of history to realize that Elizabeth ii Charles Diana George i and the rest were not appointed by god As they would have people believe but inherited these political positions from their ancestors Aho killed their Brothers wives and cousins. I refer to Henry Viii whose reputation is Well known and Elizabeth i who killed her own Cousin. Mary of Scotland to keep her precious throne. My Hal is off to mrs. Reagan who refused to curtsy to Eliza Bolh ii. And Katha Rine Hepburn who refused to attend a Lea in Buckingham Palace stating we Ameri cans got rid of that nonsense Over 200 years to those americans making fools of themselves chasing Royalty tickets to the members of the press who cover the Royal couple As if they were from Hea Ven i say in addition to grow up try Reading the declaration of Independence. You might learn something. Arthur g. Lopez wildly Ken Germany i along with millions of americans am pleased with Prince Charles and Princess Diana s visit to the states. I m sure it was a Happy and memorable visit for them and America. However there is one thing that has been highly Public cd that disturbs me and should disturb Many americans. The Royal couple visited a Branch of one of the largest nationwide retail department stores. The visit itself was Fine but the reason behind the visit was appalling. The . Is now drowning under the highest Over tide of imported goods our balance of payments have never been so unfavourable. Vet one of America s largest retail store chains is promoting a buy British promotion. They Are slapping our unemployed in the face and helping to increase our National debt. They arc a disgrace to the american people. I will never Purchase another item from that retail Chain. . Goldman Queen Gay Texas cards letters doused with Beer i wish to thank someone for ruining seven pieces of my mail. On nov. 14, my husband put the mail in the mail drop Box at the 284th my co. And someone thought it would be great to pour a bottle of Beer into the drop Box. There were three birthday cards and four letters in my bundle. I would like you to know i sent the mail smelling of Beer to your commander with Hopes to be reimbursed for the cards stationery and Stamps. This May seem Petty to you but my Lime sympathizing with the Cia it seems that the Cia always gets stuck with America s dirty work. Those poor Folia Are always left in the Middle of our Mia Mic National desires to confront our enemies and to self flagellate. I am saddened to report then that my sympathy for the people in Langley has ebbed considerably. The torture of an innocent soviet offi Cial Vitaly Yurchenko is egregious and in co Donable. I believe our congressional in Ann Landers is very valuable to me and to sit Down and write seven More letter when it was a prank seems ridiculous to me. I realize that when you did this you were probably drunk and won t remember. Next time you could do something that could really Hurt someone. I would like an apology from the culprit but i know i m Only dreaming. Thank you for your time heaven knows you be wasted enough of mine.
