Climate alarmists have made Britain’s lugubrious Prince Charles one of their more prominent public spokesmen. Given the sort of science Charles usually (and quite literally) peddles that might, in a way, make quite a lot of sense:
Prince Charles’ Duchy Originals brand has been ordered to remove claims about the effectiveness of its herbal remedies from its website, after regulators ruled they were “misleading”.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has upheld a complaint over the online advertising of two remedies, Duchy Herbals Echina-Relief Tincture and Duchy Herbals Hyperi-Lift Tincture, which are sold for £10 for 50ml in selected Boots and Waitrose stores. Although the MHRA has given the company a license to sell the remedies it does not allow them to make any claims about their effects, merely to stress their “traditional use”.
Since the ruling, made at the end of January but only made public, Duchy Originals has since amended its website and agreed not to make similar claims in any future advertising. The remedies have been available in stores and through the company’s website since the end of January and the MHRA made its ruling after a complaint from a member of the public.
The move comes just a week after a leading scientist accused the Prince of “exploiting the gullible” with the Duchy Originals’ tinctures…
