Police to investigate Prince Charles' charity over honours
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60404077
Quote:
The Metropolitan Police is to investigate claims Prince Charles' charity offered honours help to a Saudi citizen.
The force said it is investigating alleged offences under the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925.
There have been no arrests or interviews under caution, the Met said.

Not a good week for the Royal Family

Re: Police to investigate Prince Charles' charity over honours
From the 3 clause Act:
Quote:
(1)If any person accepts or obtains or agrees to accept or attempts to obtain from any person, for himself or for any other person, or for any purpose, any gift, money or valuable consideration as an inducement or reward for procuring or assisting or endeavouring to procure the grant of a dignity or title of honour to any person, or otherwise in connection with such a grant, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.
|
This suggests that Charlie would have committed a misdemeanour if he procured dosh for his charity in exchange for bestowing an honour.
Or was it one of his flunkies that did the procurement? Or is he not covered because he is capable of dishing out honours at his discretion, in theory?

Re: Police to investigate Prince Charles' charity over honours
Typical media sensationalism.
Nothing to do with Charlie really ...
Quote:
He is president of the foundation but is not involved with its governance, with the charity's trustees overseeing its day-to-day activities.
|
Quote:
The Met's decision to investigate follows its assessment of a letter it received last September relating to media reports that Prince Charles' former valet Michael Fawcett allegedly offered to help secure an honour for a Saudi citizen.

Maybe, but he'll make a rubbish king. He has no cred whatsoever, unlike William.

Re: Police to investigate Prince Charles' charity over honours

I totally agree with you. He, like Andrew has already done, will accelerate the end of the Monarchy as we currently see it. If the "Firm" had any judgement, they would insist that Charles sit this one out.

Not at all. The man has an agenda and will likely not keep out of politics by pushing that agenda (ecology, architecture).
Also, unlike Queenie, Charlie does not come to the throne with clean hands.
He is indirectly responsible for Diana's death (he was cheating on her big time and famously told Camilla he wished he was a tampon). He is directly responsible for Harry's poor state of mind.
It's unfortunate that the younger generation hardly know the worst about him.
Anyway, his eyes are too close together.

Total rubbish.

One of the greatest royal Co2 offenders is Duchy Farm, which produces 1,726 tonnes of carbon a year, though measures are being taken to improve its sustainability.
Despite Charles' rallying cry for governmental action, he and Camilla are actually the worst offenders when it comes to travel-produced Co2, pumping out 432.3 tonnes over 22 trips in 2019. Of the 22 trips, 17 were by private jet, which generates up to 20 times more carbon dioxide per person than commercial airliners

Yes, but the charity issue has nothing to do with it. He wasn’t personally involved, we are told.
So he will probably have to apologise on behalf of the charity, like Starmer had to apologise in his role of Director of Public Prosecutions and BJ on behalf of No 10.
Neat.

Bloody hell, Seth, is that harsh or what? I hope you’ve never done anything in your life others might criticise you for.
I was a Diana fan back in the day, but I suspect she was very needy and manipulative on a personal level. Charles has always wanted Camilla - it was not right that he was practically forced into an arranged marriage.

Is what I said the truth, or what? As I said, his eyes are too close together.
