Sadly, Nellie, I will never be in a position either to grant or deny Boris an honour, but I would be surprised if King Charles, if advised by his Government to award him a gong, did not ask the Government to reconsider, as he would be entitled to do. I would also be surprised if both he and the Prince of Wales did not regard Boris's breach of a (till now) rigorously observed Constitutional convention, whatever the subject, as extremely grave, and even more so as it concerned the Queen's health. |
