Prince Charles - Michael Fawcett sex scandal
Another bizarre sex scandal involving a bubbleheaded jetsetting famous-for-being-famous celebrity. Charles denies role in sex scandal.
In the biggest royal whodunnit of them all, Britain's future king and recent royal visitor to India, Prince Charles, has unprecedentedly issued a public statement denying any part in a mystery sexual palace scandal thought to be severely damaging to the monarchy.
The allegations, said to be so serious as to bring the badly-bruised British monarchy to its knees, are still unpublished.
Details of the allegations, which cannot be repeated by any media outlet for legal reasons, are thought to be contained on an audio-tape recording made by Diana before they divorced. The tape records George Smith making a number of allegations about a "senior member of the royal family".
The Prince authorised his private secretary, almost as soon as he left India, to name him as the senior royal at the centre of an unpublished sexual allegation. The aide vehemently denied the allegation and pointed out the unreliableness of the former royal servant making the claims.
The royal family and a former aide have been trying to block the scandal story for a week. The Mail on Sunday (which doesn't have a website) planned to run the story last weekend, but a court injunction blocked them. An unidentified "senior member of the royal family" also personally asked the Mail on Sunday to quash the story. Another court injunction blocked papers from revealing who had sought the first court injunction. The Guardian fought that restriction and won the right to identify the injunction-seeker as Michael Fawcett, a former aide to Prince Charles. The Mail on Sunday is still trying to overturn the injunction against publishing the whole story.
Doesn't this all sound quaintly pre-web? "If the newspapers don't print it, no one will ever find out." There's an old saying on the internet: unsubstantiated allegations want to be free. Three minutes on Usenet and Google led me to Throne Out, which fills in background and details of the mystery scandal (Daze Reader inserted the names in brackets to make things more clear).
There are actually 2 allegations.
The first is that a senior and close aide to a senior royal [Michael Fawcett] is alleged to have male raped George Smith, another palace servant. George Smith later reported the alleged attack to Police and it is suggested that the claims have been recorded on various video tapes possibly by Diana. George Smith later withdrew his complaint when questioned by Police. He was also given a £38,000 pay off by Prince Charles, apparently unconnected with the withdrawl of his complaint.
The second allegation is that a senior and close aide to a senior royal [Fawcett] was found in bed with that royal [Prince Charles] by a servant [Smith]. Both the royal and the servant are male. This allegation is also said to have been recorded by Diana.
The first part has been public for some time. The Guardian reported on Smith's rape and cover-up allegation a year ago.
The new allegation which threatens "to bring the badly-bruised British monarchy to its knees" is that Prince Charles was also sleeping with Michael Fawcett. The Sun recently ran the story without identifying either man. Royal 'in bed with flunkey'.
Ex-valet George Smith is said to have told Princess Diana he saw a "shocking incident" between the Royal and his servant.
His brother Bryan said Diana taped their conversation — in which George also claimed he was twice raped by the male aide. But the 60-minute recording is missing.
Bryan, 41, said George saw the men in bed when he delivered breakfast one morning.
He said: "George said the Royal and his servant were tucked up under the sheets next to each other.
"George told me there was no physical activity but you don’t have to be a brain surgeon to work out what was going on."
Some second-hand versions on alt.gossip.royalty have Smith claiming to have seen Charles and Fawcett in flagrante, but that's probably just embellishment. BBC News has a profile of Michael Fawcett, the trusted senior aide to Prince Charles at the center of both allegations. More on the royal troubles.
UPDATE: The Sunday Mirror ran a long story last weekend, without identifying either Prince Charles or Michael Fawcett by name. Revealed: Secrets of the 'Rape Tape'. So the story is out there, and the names of Prince Charles and Michael Fawcett are out there — but it's currently illegal to publish the story in England with the names included.
UPDATE: Royal rumour stories leak in Europe. "Efforts by the Prince of Wales's household to quash rumours of a sexual incident involving the future king suffered a further setback yesterday as the allegations were published in European news outlets and on foreign-language websites." Wow, who could have anticipated that?
Wow..so good old Charles is gay,and sleeps with the servants...oh well. Could be worst, he could be a Republikan President and gay,imagine that.
You want to hear shocking? Prince Felipe of the Spanish Royal House, Heir to the throne is about to marry a divorced and agnostic commoner! Oh boy, the Catholic Royal Crown married to an agnostic plebian divorcee, now that is shocking.
She plans to have a Church wedding and will wear white, talk about in your face sacrilege.
The British Royal Family (for the most part, a bunch of in-bred, low-I.Q. ninnies) are a gross anachronism in the 21st Century. How long will the British people continue to have their tax money used to finance the lavish lifestyles of that bunch of insufferable clowns? It would be a good thing indeed if this latest "scandal" involving Prince Charles did in fact bring the whole house of cards tumbling down, but don't count on it. There are a great many not-so-dumb people in Great Britain who personally benefit (mightily) from continuation of the status quo (and feeding at the public trough.) They won't go without a fight.
The next shoe to fall in this ridiculous "Royal
Saga" may well be evidence that Princess Diana was, in fact, murdered to cover up the fact that she was pregnant with an Arab fetus.
Charles's antics have got him in big trouble.The
story is going to burst any minute.It's been delayed as he got an injunction against The Mail,
preventing them from publishing, but all the tabloids are on the verge of defying the ban.Its well known he is bisexual and hung like a donkey!

Charles has got to step down.He has utterly disgraced himself and his family. What he has done
is just disgusting........unforgivable. How are we,his subjects, supposed to view him now? I'm afraid I personally only feel contempt for him after all this has come out.
