Well, Michael, that self-appointed arbiter of architecture, Prince Big-Ears, gets to come on telly and pontificate to millions about it - because he's the Queen's lad. Not because he's an eminent architect or historian or anything. There are blokes down my pub who understand architecture a damn sight more than he likely does, yet they'll never get on the telly to tell us what theythink! Free speech uncurtailed is all fine and dandy, but millions of people get their free speech curtailed because they are stupid enough not to famous by dint of accident of birth, no more, and thereby have easy access to mass media.
