THE Charles there has been one controversial rather blue blooded over the years, from the extramarital affair he had while married to her Princess Diana until policy of mixingas they charge him, but also the blunders of from time to time and the scandals involving his assistants.

Her eldest son Queen Elizabethwhere died yesterday at the age of 96never enjoyed the same popular acceptance as his mother, which may add to the challenges he will face as king.

In the past, as reported by APE-MPE, he has been accused of coldness opposite his popular first wife Princess Diana and despite the better media coverage of him lately, the tabloid press misses no opportunity to present him as distant and indifferent.

Meanwhile, the portrayal of his troubled married life with the late Diana, through the successful Netflix series “The Crown” probably not expected to make him any more likable many decades after that tumultuous period.

The new king has even been accused of involvement in political life in many fields—from architecture and homeopathy to climate change.

And in 2021 his most trusted partner resigned for the second time in his career as a courtier amid controversy.

“I find it all devastating – from ‘The Crown’ to reality and everything going on,” royal writer Penny Junior had said in late 2021 when rumors of large cash donations to his charities emerged.

“None of this is good news. The Queen is very dear, Charles less so. I think it’s going to be hard for him no matter what happens, but all these revelations aren’t helping,” she noted.

The involvement of his name in a bribery scandal

More recently, Charles has been involved in bribery scandal. A series of newspaper exposés claimed that Michael Fawcett, Charles’ right-hand man for decades, had offered titles of honor, even British citizenship, in exchange for donations to Charles’ foundations.

The Sunday Times reported that a Saudi billionaire businessman was decorated and granted British citizenship thanks to aides of Charles after previously paying thousands of pounds into schemes strongly supported by Britain’s current king.

After the publication of the relevant article, Fawcett temporarily resigned from his position as director of Charles’ charity The Prince’s Foundation and the relevant regulatory authority began an investigation into the funding.

Charles himself stated that he knew nothing about the relationship of the Saudi cross with his foundation and the rewards he received for his donations, implying that Fawcett is responsible for everything.

He was later cleared of financial mismanagement charges involving the sale of unwanted royal gifts, but an internal report found that various members of Charles’ services were responsible for “serious irregularities”.
