Here’s what we learned

• A new batch of memos has been released between Prince Charles and the departments of Health, Local Government, Culture and International Development
• The letters covered subjects from homeopathy to the Millenium Development goals
• In one memo, the Prince promoted the use of homeopathy to treat depression, eczema, chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome
• He expressed worries that an ‘anti homeopathy campaign’ was taking funding away from ‘homeopathy hospitals’ in London
• He also raised worries about ‘stinking willie’ – the nickname for ragwort, a poisonous yellow wildflower with the Latin name Jacobaea vulgaris that can be dangerous for horses and cattle.
• It was revealed that Andy Burnham used the same deferential sign off as Charles Clarke
• The prince also lobbied for hospitals to get better food – provided by local ‘farmers hubs’
