In a statement, the Prince of Wales said he was "so touched" to be asked to edit The Voice's 40th-anniversary edition. He remarked that the British newspaper, which focuses on Black issues and culture, had become "an institution" over its 40-year run. "Over the last four decades, with all the enormous changes that they have witnessed, Britain's only surviving black newspaper has become an institution and a crucial part of the fabric of our society. This is why I was so touched to be invited to edit this special edition."
