Independent, for 

“sucking up to 

the Saudis”. She 

cited the role of 

“Saudi Arabia, 

with its two-faced 

royal family”, in 

“the 9/11 attacks, 

Madrid, the 7/7 

bombings, the 

kidnapping of 

the Chibok girls 

[and] the mas-

sacre at Charlie 

Hebdo”.

Charles is feel-

ing the heat. A 

new biography of 

the Prince of Wales claims that he “no longer wants to 

promote UK arms sales in Gulf States”, according to the 

BBC on 4 Feb.

 And with Charles visiting the Persian 

Gulf, including Saudi Arabia, yet again on 6-12 Feb., 

Clarence House (his residence) issued a defensive-

sounding statement that, “The Prince of Wales’s re-

turn to the region only one year after his last tour 

demonstrates the importance that Her Majesty’s Gov-

ernment places on its association with key partners in 

the area. These connections are underpinned by the 

long-standing and respectful relationships which ex-

ist between the Royal Family and the ruling families 

in the Gulf”, while the BBC reported that a spokes-

man followed up with a pre-emptive denial of new 

arms deals, saying: “The Prince of Wales’ upcoming 

visit to the Middle East is not about sales of defence 

equipment”.

In other developments potentially contributing to 

the fall of the House of Windsor:

• 

Revelations about a paedophile ring 

operating 

in high society, including within Buckingham 

Palace, continue to rock the UK. At the same 

time, Catherine Mayer’s biography has drawn 

attention to the status Prince Charles accord-

ed the late Jimmy Savile—a TV personality 

and notorious paedophile (exposed as such 

only after his death in 2011)—as friend, con-

fidante, adviser, and even “key aide”, as one 

newspaper account put it. A 2013 Scotland 

Yard report cited abuse by Savile “on an un-

precedented scale”, shown in complaints by 

450 people, covering the period 1955-2009 

and victims aged eight to 47. 

•  Sworn testimony is sought from Prince An-

drew, fifth in line to the throne, in a sexual 

abuse claim against convicted child-abuser 

Jeffrey Epstein by a victim who testifies she 

was pimped to Andrew by Epstein, his friend, 

when she was a minor.

•  Charles’s “fury” over a BBC documentary 

called “Reinventing the Royals”, was widely 

reported. It concerns the PR campaign waged 

after Diana’s death, to get the public to ac-

cept Charles’s long-time mistress, Camilla 

Parker-Bowles, as his next wife. Scheduled 

4.  The book is Charles: Heart of a King (London: WH Allen, 2015), 

by Time magazine journalist Catherine Mayer.

for 4 Jan., the program was pulled because 

Clarence House refused to provide archival 

footage. After an uproar over Charles’s heavy-

handed intervention, the program is now sup-

posed to air on 19 Feb.

A Challenge to the Throne

Diana’s death, and the cover-up and suppression 

of evidence during its investigation, remains the big-

gest scandal of all. The crux of the matter, and of John 

Morgan’s impressive dossiers, is not the sad personal 

drama of the Princess of Wales as such, but the al-

legation that she was killed because of challenging 

the very institution of the Crown.

After her separation from Charles in 1992, it was 

openly discussed in Britain whether Diana, the belov-

ed “People’s Princess” and mother of future King of 

England Prince William, had the power to reshape the 

Windsor dynasty in a more human direction, as she 

herself proclaimed to be her goal, or even to bring it 

down altogether, as publicly talked about by promi-

nent British Establishment figures at the time. While 

the Queen herself had carefully maintained an image 

of being “above politics”, her consort, Prince Phil-

ip, was already widely despised as arrogant, and as 

a notorious racist with family connections to the Na-

zis, even by those unfamiliar with his expressed de-

sire to be “reincarnated as a deadly virus in order to 

help solve the population problem”. 

The publicity around Conway’s play puts the 

Windsors’ enmity for Diana back under the spotlight. 

Like the ghost of the murdered King of Denmark, who 

stalks the parapet in Hamlet, Diana’s spirit wields the 

power to shake the Windsor throne. Half of all Britons 

still today regard her death as “suspicious”. 

Conway and his colleagues are convinced that if 

the 2007-08 Royal Courts of Justice (RCJ) inquest into 

the deaths of Diana, Dodi, and their chauffeur, Henri 

Paul, were held today, there would be “a totally dif-

ferent verdict”, because of Morgan’s work as well as 

the growing public recognition—thanks to the reve-

lations by Edward Snowden and others—of malfea-

sance by top government institutions, especially the 

intelligence agencies.

been his close associates for decades.
