Mr Martin has followed the Prince’s most trusted aide, Michael Fawcett (nella foto), out the door. Mr Fawcett left his role after the Mail on Sunday published a damning letter last year showing he had offered to support an upgrade to a Saudi billionaire’s honour in acknowledgement of his ‘generous’ donations to the charity
Written in 2017, Mr Fawcett offered to support an upgrade to Dr Bin Mahfouz’s honour from a CBE to a knighthood and to help with his application for British citizenship in acknowledgement of his ‘generous’ donations to the charity.
An independent probe ordered by the Foundation, which runs Dumfries House – a Palladian country house in Ayrshire saved for the nation by Prince Charles – found Mr Fawcett had worked with ‘fixers’ to secure honours for a wealthy donor.
Scotland Yard is believed to be investigating the ‘cash for favours’ scandalo. But Dr Bin Mahfouz denies wrongdoing and Clarence House insists Charles had ‘no knowledge of the alleged offer of honours or British citizenship on the basis of donation to his charities’.
Un insider ha detto: ‘A few people have let the Foundation down for their own purposes.’
To rehabilitate its tarnished reputation, the Foundation has recruited four ‘superwomen’ with proven track records. Rosemary Hilary (sinistra), a senior auditor, arrived in June, along with Ann Limb (giusto), the first female chairwoman of the Scout Association.
In ottobre, the trust took on high-flying lawyer Sarah de Gay (sinistra), a member of the Government Advisory Committee on Business Appointments. Come la vincitrice del GBBO Nancy Birtwhistle, the charity’s chief operating officer, Emily Cherrington (giusto), was made chief executive
