From: Gareth Robson, Kent House Road, Beckenham.

I was delighted to read the letter from Malcolm Naylor which you so admirably published today (The Y, May 10), and I write to express my support for his views.

I particularly approve of his suggestion that schools be obliged to tell the truth about our constitution and the stranglehold which the monarch has over the workings of our governance.

Every non-royal child should know that Britain is one of a smallish list of countries where one can only become head of state if one has the right ancestors - whilst our American, Irish, French, German etc counterparts are not thus barred.

Eventually, perhaps, we might see an increase in the proportion of the electorate calling for an elected head of state (with a clause limiting candidates to those who have genuinely added to society and banning previous holders of high political office).

In the meantime, too many of his majesty's subjects are caught in a form of Stockholm Syndrome.

Children should be taught the truth about the monarchy - Yorkshire Post Letters
