SIR – How did the queen manage to bypass her coronation oath and sign the Lisbon Treaty? It expressly forbids handing over power to any foreign ruler to govern this country from outside the realm.
She didn’t have to follow the advice of ministers. If she thought signing was to the detriment of her subjects, she could have withheld her consent.
