I agree with your point, Henri, but I fail to see what's the difference of Prince Charles discussing about architecture and Queen Sofía of Spain saying she's opposed to gay marriage. None of them are Heads of State. You support the prince but you criticize the Queen for airing her opinions. It's a contradicting position, and I say this with absolute respect.
