THE Metropolitan Police has been accused of “protecting” King Charles during an investigation into the alleged illegal selling of honours by some of the monarch’s closest aides.
Last year, the police force launched an investigation into how a Saudi billionaire became the recipient of a CBE.
Documents given to the Met months before the investigation was eventually launched showed how some of Charles’s closest advisers had met with representatives of Mahfouz bin Mahfouz – one of the richest men in Saudi Arabia – with the explicit promise of money in return for the honour.
