The King has expressed support for homeopathy for decades, despite the fact that the controversial system of alternative medicine has been slammed by mainstream doctors and experts. Above: Charles looks at a display of homeopathic remedies with homeopath Dr Tim Robinson in Poundbury in 2004 When he was the Prince of Wales, King Charles repeatedly praisd benefits of homeopathy, despite the fact that the controversial system of alternative medicine has been heavily criticised by mainstream doctors and experts. Homeopathy and other alternative forms of medicine īut as a poll for The Mail's new Royals section demonstrated recently, a majority of the British population (57 per cent) actually believes he should continue to share views in public.Īnd there is little doubt he would be tempted! Here, then, are the topics that have been close to his heart and the views, some of the controversial, that will be bubbling up to threaten his new vow of discretion (if not quite silence). And so far he has followed his own words, expressed in 2018, when he said he would not be 'stupid' enough to continue to be quite so outspoken. Today, as monarch, he has to be more circumspect. In a number of cases, particularly when it came to the environment, he was proved right in his concerns.īut there was also criticism of his many public interventions, particularly when it emerged he had routinely sent 'black spider' letters (a disparaging reference to his handwriting) to government ministers expressing his views on matters that interested him. From 'grey goo' to grammar schools, architecture and homeopathy, King Charles embraced a colourful variety of issues in his long years as Prince of Wales.
