Prince Charles seeks new employee to help with his letters Dominic Grieve, the Attorney General, ruled last week that the Prince of Wales's letters to ministers must be kept secret because their contents would "seriously damage" his future role as king were they made public. Happily, the Prince appears determined to keep sending his missives. Charles is now advertising for a new employee to administer his huge volume of documents. The "Registry and Records Management Assistant" will have to carry out a "full range of archival services, including the day-to-day management of the Central Registry" at the Prince's London office, states the advertisement. The role involves "assisting with the organisation and maintenance of the records management systems (both paper and electronic), managing archive requests from staff and ensuring the maintenance of our electronic archive database." The daunting nature of the role is emphasised. "A pro-active and flexible approach is essential with the proven ability to prioritise work, particularly when under pressure," the advert warns. It does not disclose the salary. Grieve blocked the publication of 27 "black spider letters" letters written by the future monarch in his scrawling hand-writing. He said Charles should be allowed to write to ministers as stopping him from trying to fix Britain's problems would be "rather strange." The Conservative told a committee of MPs that the Prince should be able to "raise queries or points" with ministers because he probably hears many "very interesting things."
