Charles, the “meddling prince”?
March 13th, 2007 by Zsofia
A Channel 4 documentary last night asserted that Prince Charles is “unfit to rule” and could push Britain into a constitutional crisis.
The documentary (”Charles, the Meddling Prince”) reveals the findings of a six-month investigation into the Prince’s affairs, suggesting that his public comments have often been connected to secret lobbying and “meddling” in government affairs.
The Dispatches documentary also claimed that the Prince has used “questionable” financial arrangements to run the Duchy of Cornwall, the landed estate that provides him with an annual income of more than £14 million.
Naturally, the Prince has denied the film’s claims, and issued a lengthy rebuttal on his website. He seems furious and will surely go to court.
