Civil servants decline to release letters thought to detail why monarch wanted to exempt her land from green energy initiative

Civil servants made the startling admission when they refused to release private letters from the Queen’s Scottish lawyer which are thought to detail why she wanted to amend a bill dealing with green energy earlier this year.
