Cash for access. Lifetime par of the corruption of the United States. And even money for citizenship.

An email about Sunday’s devastating revelation about Prince Charles and his advisers (including Michael Fawcett on his right arm) will shock many.

But the real surprise is that their activities have been hidden from the public for some time.

It is not a one-off event.

It is a model of behavior.

It has long been a common practice for Charles to receive money on behalf of a charity in return for his favor.

Yes, the cause the Prince of Wales is championing is worth it.

In particular, The Prince’s Trust, founded in 1976, has been very successful and has helped nearly a million young people.

The Dunfreeze House, which he decided to save for the country, is a precious and often pioneering work.

Still, Charles doesn’t notice or maybe care about the big checks that are approaching because donors want something back for them, and almost everyone’s checks. He repeatedly shows that he is ready to accept.

His own father, Prince Phillip, once described Charles as “royal rent”.

And the larger the total, the more shaded the donor.

For example, the founder of Enron, Kenneth Lay, was a regular customer of St. James’s Palace. Occasionally, Ray returned and Charles flew to Houston to have lunch with him.

Enron donated around £ 1million to Princestrast between 1991 and 1999. But that was before it became clear that Enron had falsified the pound in a catastrophic bankruptcy that claimed countless lives.

And what about Ruben Vardanyan, CEO of the Moscow bank Troika Dialog?

The bank ran a tax haven shell company in the British Virgin Islands called the Quantus division.

Thanks to Quantus £ 200,000 was sent to Charles to help fill a big financial vacuum at Dumphries House.

Still, Charles doesn’t notice or maybe care about the big checks that are approaching because donors want something back for them, and almost everyone’s checks. He repeatedly shows that he is ready to accept.

Bankers were able to raise an additional £ 1.5million from a Russian businessman who was rightfully awarded by Charles at a black tie dinner in 2014.

There is no doubt that Vladimir Putin was happy with this high level and uncontrolled access to the British facility.

Charles seems to think that if the cause is justified and the money is invested, nothing else matters. It’s also a stinking attitude of arrogance, vanity, and perhaps naivety.

In the 1990s, the Conservative government was rocked by a “cash for questions” scandal.

Allegations that two Tory lawmakers were paid to ask questions in Congress led to the resignation of one Tim Smith and the defeat of another Neil Hamilton in the 1997 general election.

How is that different from having Prince Charles selling access to himself for money?

But today’s revelation provided by Michael Fawcett to help the Saudi Sheikh secure both a knight and a British passport takes this issue to a whole new level.

Selling honor under the 1925 Honor (Prevention of Abuse) Act is a criminal offense. Tomorrow I will send a letter to Cressida Dick of the Metropolitan Police Department asking her to initiate an investigation.

When it comes to helping get citizenship in exchange for money, it’s kind of a connection I highlighted in a 2001 parliamentary response, forcing Commerce Secretary Peter Mandelson to resign from the Labor government. it was done.

He intervened at the Home Office on behalf of the Hindu brothers, who had made large donations to the whitest elephant, the Millennium Dome.

How is it different from Charles, who raises money at Dunfries House in exchange for his promise of citizenship? It’s not.

The similarities require unpleasant consideration for successors to the throne. However, if past behavior is any guide, there is little such thinking.

If the story refuses to go away, Michael Faucette will be forced to resign forever. So will he be quietly rehired when no one is watching? It’s already arrived.

But let’s be clear. This is not a fraudulent transaction. M. Faucette does exactly what Prince Charles wants.

And now it is the Prince of Wales, and not Michael Faucette, who must answer the question. His royal imprints are on all of this.

The monarchy has been badly damaged by the dangerous activities of stupid Prince Andrew and the bleeding of self-attachment from Harry and Megan.

The Queen continues to be respected, but she doesn’t last forever.

This morning, many will wonder how Prince Charles can reconcile such actions with the grave responsibilities he is one day supposed to inherit.
