”Prince Andrew Should Not Be Forgiven (This Queen’s Jubilee)”
Prince Andrew is super-privileged. He has had a life that most people could only dream of. But he still allegedly misbehaved!
Where was his self-discipline? Does he have none? Facts are: Prince Andrew is super-privileged, but also super stupid!
What is the matter with all these superrich, super-privileged men? Why can’t they control themselves? Why are so many of them oversexed, or even supersexed? It is high time that they learn that good morals are the same for them and their rich, privileged friends as they are for everyone else. Being superrich doesn’t, or at least shouldn’t, give anyone a pass, be he royal or be he commoner. But whether Prince Andrew should be forgiven or not is for others to decide. What I do know is this: Behaviour at the top everywhere needs to change. The super-privileged right across the world are misbehaving in so many ways. Enough already! – © Mark Alexander

Prince Charles exploited a controversial procedure to compel government ministers to secretly change a proposed law to benefit his landed estate, according to documents uncovered by the Guardian.
Official papers unearthed in the National Archives reveal ministers in John Major’s government yielded to his demands amid fears that resisting the heir to the throne could spark a constitutional crisis.
Ministers backed down to “avoid a major row” with the prince, effectively allowing him to force the hand of the elected government.
The disclosure of the documents provides further evidence of how the royal family has used the secretive procedure known as Queen’s consent to alter legislation to benefit their private interests. » | Rob Evans, David Pegg and Severin Carrell | Tuesday, June 28, 2022

Scotland Yard has launched an investigation into cash-for-honours allegations linked to the Prince of Wales’s charity the Prince’s Foundation.
In a brief statement, the Metropolitan police said it had launched the investigation after media reports alleging offers of help were made to secure honours and citizenship for a Saudi national.
In September last year, the Sunday Times published claims that the billionaire Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz paid tens of thousands of pounds to fixers with links to Prince Charles who had told him they could secure the honour.
Bin Mahfouz was awarded a CBE at a private ceremony at Buckingham Palace in November 2016. » | Jaimie Grierson | Wednesday, February 16, 2022

La revanche de Camilla, future reine consort d’Angleterre
LE FIGARO : ENQUÊTE - Dans une lettre au parfum de vœu testamentaire, Elizabeth II a solennellement adoubé Camilla Parker Bowles, amante puis épouse du prince Charles. Longtemps détestée par l’opinion publique et tenue pour responsable de la mort de Lady Diana, la roturière deviendra souveraine aux côtés de son mari, après le décès de la reine.
Longtemps, ce fut le diable pour une partie des Britanniques. Des ménagères la poursuivaient avec leur Caddie quand elle faisait ses courses au supermarché. Au théâtre ou au pub, elle était huée, insultée. Camilla était tenue pour responsable de la mort de Diana. Le week-end dernier, pourtant, l’épouse du prince Charles a été solennellement adoubée par Elizabeth II. La mal-aimée honorée par une reine si populaire. Le chemin parcouru est spectaculaire. » | Par Arnaud De La Grange | Publié : mercredi 9 février 2022 ; mis à jour : jeudi 10 février 2022

Prince Charles Commissions Artists to Paint Portraits of Holocaust Survivors
TATLER: The Prince of Wales asks leading painters for historically significant works
The Prince of Wales is paying tribute to survivors of the Holocaust by commissioning leading artists to paint portraits of seven men and women who were imprisoned in concentration camps as children.

Passionate in promoting tolerance between communities, the prince hopes the portraits will demonstrate ‘humanity's interconnectedness, as we strive to create a better world for our children, grandchildren and generations as yet unborn - one where hope is victorious over despair and love triumphs over hate’. His Royal Highness, who is Patron of National Holocaust Memorial Day, has often warned about the repercussions of extremism and in a speech marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, he insisted that the lessons of the Holocaust were still ‘searingly relevant’. » | Dora Davies-Evitt | Wednesday, January 12, 2022

Affaire Jeffrey Epstein : le prince Charles estime que le prince Andrew ne doit pas revenir à la vie publique
MADAME FIGARO : Alors que le prince Andrew est sous le joug d’accusations d’agressions sexuelles dans le cadre de l’affaire Epstein, le prince Charles estime que son frère ne reviendra pas à la vie publique. Et craint pour la réputation de la famille royale.
De nouveaux développements concernant le prince Andrew et son rôle dans l’affaire Jeffrey Eptsein viennent, encore une fois, porter atteinte à la réputation de la famille royale. Alors que le duc d’York est sous le coup d'une plainte officielle pour agression sexuelle sur mineure et abus sexuel, les membres du clan Windsor sont de plus en plus inquiets concernant la gestion de cette crise.
D’après le Times, le prince Charles aurait peur que cette dernière éclipse le jubilé de platine de la reine, qui doit avoir lieu en juin 2022. «Le prince (Charles) aime son frère et est capable d’éprouver de l'empathie durant la période trouble que ce dernier traverse, quelles qu’en soient les raisons», a déclaré une source au Times. «Cependant, cela portera atteinte à la réputation de l’institution. Il a conclu depuis longtemps qu’il s’agissait probablement d’un problème insoluble», ajoute-t-elle. Le prince de Galles pense – et espère – que son frère Andrew ne reviendra jamais à la vie publique. » | Léonie Dutriévoz | jeudi 12 août 2021

Philip’s Death Leaves Prince Charles as Patriarch of Royal Family
An indisputable truth of hereditary monarchy is that promotion to the “top job” is accompanied by deep personal loss. So it will be for the Prince of Wales, who will eventually take the throne as he mourns his mother.
But the death of his father will have had no less profound an effect on Prince Charles. And, though on any official level it does not alter his royal status, it does change the family dynamic.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s death, as the Queen expressed, has left “a huge void”. Philip was the patriarchal head of “the firm”. This is the mantle Charles will now assume. This role was most symbolically underscored when Charles was the only family member to visit his father during his recent spell in hospital.
He spent 30 minutes at the duke’s bedside at King Edward VII’s hospital in London in February. What words were exchanged between father and son can only be guessed at, and are unlikely to ever be made public. But it was a sombre Charles who emerged with, according to photographers waiting outside, tears glistening in his eyes. » | Caroline Davies | Monday, April 12, 2021
