Buckingham Palace gay mafia
The Prince Charles sex scandal just keeps getting sleazier!
British newspapers reported that [Paul] Burrell, the married former confidant to Princess Diana, had sex with his Australian boyfriend, Greg Pead, in Buckingham Palace and proposed a threesome with a businessman, Kevin Horkin.
Separately, a former palace security chief, David Davies, revealed that homosexual royal servants, part of a "gay mafia", had regularly smuggled male prostitutes into Buckingham Palace and other royal residences.
He told The Sunday Times that servants regularly brought "rough trade" into the palace, despite fears the practice compromised the security of the Queen and other senior royals. [...]
Mr Pead, an antiques dealer, told the News of the World that Mr Burrell had sneaked him into Buckingham Palace and that they had "sex on his bed with a picture of the Queen over it" after they met in 1980. Mr Burrell was a footman for the Queen at the time.
"I was immediately accepted as Paul's partner by all the other male palace servants, most of whom were also gay," he said. "They were happy Paul had found someone."
So do the Buckingham Palace gay mafia and the Hollywood gay mafia ever have turf battles? That would rock.
As you'll recall, George Smith has made two separate allegations: (1) that he was raped by another palace servant, which Prince Charles helped cover up, and (2) that he saw Prince Charles and Michael Fawcett in bed together. I've heard and read several comments from people who think the mystery rumor is "Prince Charles raped a servant" (example). Prince Charles really should consider dropping the media injunctions and letting the authentic, less damaging (to him at least) rumors be published.
Some new details about the rape allegation have emerged. The same article excerpted above states, "The man accused of the rape, who remains on the prince's staff, has denied the allegation." Daze Reader had previously fingered Michael Fawcett as the accused rapist, but that's apparently not the case. Fawcett lost his job on the prince's staff in March. The actual accused rapist remains unnamed but released a statement over the weekend through his lawyers. Royal aide denies rape allegation.
The statement, from Kingsley Napley solicitors, said: "The allegations made now to the Mail on Sunday by Mr Smith differ substantially and significantly in many regards from those made to the police last year and must cast serious doubt on Mr Smith's reliability and the accuracy of any allegations he might be persuaded to make."
It added: "Our client has consistently denied that these offences ever took place, and whilst he has no desire to enter into the current media frenzy, cannot allow wholly untrue allegations against him to be reported and unchallenged."
A number of "demonstrable discrepancies", between what Mr Smith told police in 2001 and his account to the Mail on Sunday today, are outlined in the statement.
