I understand that Prince Charles has issued atatement denying his involvement in a particlar incident, the nature of which has not been made public. The newspapers know the story but are unwilling to give details for legal reasons. What’s the deal here? There must be a lot of rumours flying around Britain at the moment. Have any websites published details of this incident?

Is this the 6th or 7th thread on this subject in the past . . . 20 hours ?

If you use the search function, I suspect it’ll make several Mods very happy indeed.

Yes!

Since there’s already another thread on the boards discussing this, I’ll direct you to that thread and close this one.
