article_snippet: London (CNN)Previously secret correspondence between Britain's Prince Charles and government officials is to be made public after a Supreme Court ruling Thursday.
article_snippet: Britain's Guardian newspaper had been fighting for the communications to be released since 2005.
article_snippet: After a Supreme Court judgment was released Thursday, Guardian Editor-in-Chief Alan Rusbridger said the paper was "delighted" about Supreme Court decision after what Guardian Editor-in-Chief Alan Rusbridger said was a "brilliant 10-year campaign by Guardian reporter Rob Evans."
article_snippet: Now these letters must publish these letters so that the public can make these letters own judgment," Rusbridger said.
article_snippet: These were private letters, never meant for public consumption, which is why the Prince's office has resisted These release," the Prince said.
article_snippet: Evans, the Guardian reporter, had been fighting a legal battle to get the letters published since 2005 when Guardian requested disclosure of communications between Charles and various government departments under the UK's Freedom of Information Act and environmental regulations.
article_snippet: After the departments and the information commissioner denied Guardian requests, Guardian appealed to the Information Tribunal, which referred the matter to the Upper Tribunal.
article_snippet: Guardian reported in 2009 that Charles had written to Treasury, Foreign Office and Education Department ministers over the previous three years and that Charles aides had also written letters to government officials.
article_snippet: the Upper Tribunal ruled in 2012 that many of the letters, "advocacy correspondence," should be disclosed, but the Upper Tribunal decision was vetoed by Britain's attorney general, who issued a certificate overriding its decision.
article_snippet: The Guardian challenged the veto in court, but three high court judges dismissed the veto in court, so Evans appealed to the Supreme Court, which on Thursday ruled that The Prince of Wales' was not entitled to issue the certificate.
