The Prince personally wrote at least seven letters[2] to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) shortly before they introduced regulations allowing "homoeopathic treatment" to "claim efficacy measured by their own methods", a decision that was condemned in an article by Times science correspondent Mark Henderson. Henderson quoted as his main sources Tracey Brown, director of big pharma-funded lobby group Sense About Science, Evan Harris, the Liberal Democrat science spokesperson, and Michael Baum, a cancer surgeon.[3]
