The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings lost one of its most prominent members when Prince Charles resigned over a dispute with the British preservation group. The society refused to publish a forward written by the Prince of Wales for a handbook on the restoration of old house because it was too conservative.

The disagreement adds to the image of Prince Charles as a diehard conservative with outdated views on architecture.
