Prince Charles too busy to open Tithe Barn
PRINCE Charles has turned down an offer to open Nailsea’s restored Tithe Barn next year.
Nailsea Town Council wrote to his royal highness to see if he would cut the ribbon to officially open the barn after a �1.2million project to restore the historic building.
Nailsea Town Council received a reply written on behalf of Prince Charles, stating that his programme for next year is already extremely busy.
The letter stated ‘His Royal Highness is sorry to disappoint you but hopes you understand the pressures on his diary and that it’s not possible for him to include all the engagements he would wish to undertake’.
