Her comments about her husband’s opinions are likely to attract attention in the U.K., where members of the royal family are supposed to remain inscrutable in their views on political matters, especially when it comes to the affairs of non-British jurisdictions. There has recently been controversy in the U.K. over private comments allegedly made by Prince Charles, who is reported to have described as “ appalling ” a new British policy of deporting some migrants to Rwanda while their cases are working their way through the legal system.
