A letter penned by the King in 1998, when he was still the Prince of Wales, has surfaced, revealing his stark criticism of the Church of England for being "corrupted by loathsome political correctness".

In the correspondence, Charles expressed a growing affinity for the "timeless traditions" of the Greek Orthodox Church, stating: "They are the only ones that have not been corrupted by loathsome political correctness."Now 75, the King, whose late father was originally Greek Orthodox before converting to Anglicanism upon marrying the then Queen, has maintained strong connections with the Eastern church, known for its emphasis on traditional sacrament and scripture.Over the past two decades, some critics have accused the Church of England—over which Charles now presides—of prioritising political correctness over Christian values.

Additionally, within the same letter, the King voiced his disapproval of genetically modified crops.

A spokesperson commented on the nature of the letter, saying: "It's an intriguing letter. Royals aren't supposed to make political remarks in public but these were in private correspondence."
