Last week, Prince Charles’ long-time aide/friend/co-conspirator Michael Fawcett was finally ousted. At various points, Fawcett had been employed by Chuck’s office, only to be fired repeatedly for cause, and after that, Fawcett was moved over to Charles’ foundation. Which is where Fawcett spearheaded the cash-for-honours scheme. Whether or not Charles knew (he did), the scandal likely gets buried now with Fawcett’s dismissal. Of course, Fawcett was around forever, and the fact that he was part of Chuck’s inner circle for decades says a lot about the royals and Prince Charles in particular. According to the Daily Mail’s sources, both Prince Harry and Prince William are happy to see Fawcett go. Hm.
Princes William and Harry will be ‘pleased’ that Michael Fawcett has resigned as they felt he was a ‘pernicious influence’ on their father’s household, sources said last night. Insiders said both the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex have long believed that Prince Charles was ‘unwise’ to rely so heavily on his right-hand man.
Harry even turned down an offer from Charles to have Mr Fawcett’s private events company, Premier Mode, help out with his 2018 wedding to Meghan as he wanted him to have nothing to do with it.
One source said: ‘They were concerned at the way in which Fawcett was allowed to operate a personal fiefdom at the heart of their father’s household. They felt it divisive and unwise. They will not be disappointed by what has happened.’
The Daily Mail revealed that Mr Fawcett, who was in charge of Charles’s charity operations, had dramatically quit over an ongoing ‘cash for access’ inquiry.He has resigned from his £95,000-a-year post as chief executive of the Prince’s Foundation, with friends saying he is ‘shattered’ by events. He has also had his private contract to organise events and entertaining for Charles severed, ending 40 years of service to the prince.
It follows reports he offered to help a billionaire Saudi donor to the prince’s charity secure both a knighthood and British citizenship. It is understood that the prince’s former valet is not seeking to pre-empt an official investigation into the claims, which is still under way. Mr Fawcett, 59, has twice previously been forced to resign over scandals, including accusations of bullying and selling on unwanted royal gifts. But each time the Prince of Wales took him back and even promoted him. Palace insiders expressed their shock that Charles had finally let him go. One said: ‘Honestly, no one ever thought it would happen.’
I’ve always gotten the impression that both Harry and William consider their father weak and a bad judge of character. Diana felt the same way about Charles, and I would suspect Camilla does too: that he surrounds himself with sycophants, liars, con artists and frauds. My point is that while Fawcett deserved to go, the bigger problem is Charles. While Harry and William are probably in agreement that Fawcett needed to go, they know that their father is the bigger problem. Anyway, I doubt Harry even cares that much anymore. William is the one who has to deal with all of Charles’ sycophants, palace spiders, gurus and con artists now. LOL.

Charles’ reign – surely coming before the end of the year – is going to be very interesting; as beset with scandal as the Regency of George III and Edward VIII, I think. I wonder if a republic will come before the end of his reign? What, then, will the incandescent PWT actually DO with himself?
Fawcett the fence has been credibly accused of:
– Racism
-R&pe
-Corruption and
-Cash for access
He will be back because he fits right in with that pa$$do apologist, briefers in chief, adultery committing, gaslighting family.
I hope Charles reign does not come anytime soon. I just don’t want William moving up he will be even worse. If that is possible.
Neither William nor Kate will do much as PsoW. They’ll be throwbacks to when the Princes of Wales were boulevardiering layabouts. For them the big difference is the Duchy of Cornwall and its considerable income. Perhaps why William is looking for a palace.
“shattered by events”
“He got himself caught in a situation that even Charles couldn’t help him with.”
Fixed it
Fawcett has nothing to worry about. He’s set for life.
Doubt H gives a shiit 😂
At this point, I agree. I don’t think he cares about “building a relationship” with him anymore.
I think “H” knows the drill. His father is just going to hire the guy back quietly after a period of a few months anyway like he always does.
Fawcett is the fall guy for the pay-to-play investigation. I assume he got a a massive severance package and will be come back as an “unofficial advisor.”
Nothing will happen to Fawcett. Charles will probably provide for his retirement and keep him on as an assistant of some sort.
Recently we were told that Charles was one of those berating Harry over his father in law’s behaviour. We also know that Harry resisted Fawcett the fence organising his wedding. These pieces of information were leaked to the papers to make him and Meghan look difficult. Disgusting!
It’s more like the fact this wants to lay ground for “Poor, poor Charles…he had NO IDEA of what this miscreant was up to!” And while I do think Fawcett did a LOT of shit and have Chuckie rubber stamp it, giving a cut to him and taking a HUGE chunk for himself, I also think that Charles ALWAYS ALLOWED it (as this POS has been allowed back, in high positions, over and over again).
I think Charles is TERRIFIED that it all WILL come out (how involved he was and how much he netted), and since he is NOT “well loved”, the press will chew him up and spit him (and Cam) out.
Look for TOBB to start putting the kids out, front and center, as his “downpayment” for the bad press for C & C.
Yes, yes, yes and yes. When the queen goes it will be GOT on steroids. Joffrey will definitely go after his dad as he has no intention of waiting around for another 20 years. He will however get the shock of his life when he realises that the rest of the world does not care about him being king of a little island somewhere.
@Elizabeth
“Joffrey will definitely go after his dad as he has no intention of waiting around for another 20 years.”
Spot on. Valdemort doesnt want to wait because he doesnt want to look too old if/when he ascends because by then H&M’s magnificence will be even more public knowledge,\, with the work that everyone will know they had been doing in Archewell.
But doesn’t William also surrounds himself with “sycophants, liars, con artists and frauds”?
Yes, just far less competent ones. He’s just like Charles, just taller and younger.
I do not think Will has what it takes to survive amongst these piranhas on Charles’ payroll. They will eat him alive
So, will it stick this time? I have to wonder why and how this guy kept getting fired and rehired by Charles and recommended for big jobs. Is he just *that* good of a party planner? Or is he dangerous to Charles?
I smell money laundering.
Money laundering & (allegedly) being caught at least once in flagrante with the future king. No idea whether it will stick this time. Fawcett knows a LOT.
I think JK needs to see what his future could look like. The most dangerous word to believe is that of a king or queen. To them everyone is disposbale.
The Fail just tossed Harry’s name in , claiming insiders…?!? 😂
I think Mike F knew too much and it was easier keeping on the payroll
Well William certainly took a page from the Charles/Fawcett relationship book. He has his own Fawcett in the form of Jason Knauf and will continue to have a clandestine partnership post-resignation, like Fawcett likely will with Charles. Both those weasels know too much to be tossed on the unemployment heap.
Micheal, Charles
Jason, william
Same people, same evil. Same dirty racist .
Keep Harry out of it.
Harry wont talk with reporters from the salty island.
I think Fawcett still works for Charles , and Charles provides for him. It is not over.
I don’t know why Harry was included in this story. He’s out of the family and I doubt he cares about what Charles does with Fawcett.
