LONDON (AP) — Britain's Supreme Court has refused to overturn a lower court ruling that clears the way for publication of letters written by Prince Charles to government ministers.
The court Thursday ruled in favor of the Guardian newspaper's effort to have the contents of the letters disclosed.
The case involves letters Charles has written to seven government departments.
Critics have charged that Charles has become too involved in advocating positions. He is first in line for the throne and is expected to be politically neutral.
In the past he has expressed strong views on architecture, climate change, genetically modified foods, and other matters.
