SIR – With the Harry & Meghan series on Netflix, and the publication today of the Duke of Sussex’s autobiography, Spare, it beggars belief that the Duke felt the need to give television interviews as well (report, January 9).

SIR – The United Kingdom emits about 1 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gases, yet we are mandated to provide “world leadership” in reducing carbon emissions.
To achieve these targets (politically arrived at), we are told we will have to heat our homes expensively, to travel less – and if we do, expensively. We are also told what to drive and now what to eat, all accompanied by higher taxes.
We won’t save the planet, but the control freaks will have won.

SIR – Talking to Bryony Gordon in a 2017 podcast (still available online), Prince Harry revealed his own mental health problems associated with the tragic death of his mother.
He said he would not have done anything about this had it not been for the persistence of his brother, who urged him to get professional help. He was universally praised for his openness.
Yet in the Oprah Winfrey interview, he said he would not ask members of his family for help with his mental health because there was no point.
