In The Wake Of Honor Charges, Prince Charles' Former Aide Resigns From His Charity Position

Following accusations that he helped obtain an accolade for a Saudi contributor, a former close assistant to Prince Charles stood aside temporarily from his post as chief executive of a royal organization.

Michael Fawcett coordinated assistance for Saudi businessman Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz, according to the Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday publications.

According to The Times, the billionaire gave The Prince's Foundation more than 1.5 million pounds ($2.1 million) to fund heritage restoration projects of importance to Charles, including properties he used.

At a private ceremony in 2016, Charles awarded Mahfouz an honorary CBE, or Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, according to the story. Saudi Arabia denies any wrongdoing.

In a statement, the Prince's Foundation stated Fawcett offered to temporarily step down as the organization's top executive while an inquiry is conducted. Fawcett will help with the probe, according to the report.

Fawcett started his royal career as a footman for Queen Elizabeth II in 1981 and eventually became Charles' assistant valet.

He was suspected of selling undesired royal presents in 2003, but the suspicions of financial impropriety were dropped. He resigned as valet, but continued to serve in other capacities, including as Charles' event coordinator.

Ways to attract the right partner

  How amazing would it be to find the perfect partner to spend your life with (or at least a long while), in absolute bliss? It’s not going to happen by some movie-moment magical events, so let me show you how you can take your love life into your own hands. A well-matched partner won't meet all of your needs. As there's no such thing as a perfect partner, you're shooting for about 85%.  This means that you may meet someone who ticks all the boxes except physically he's not quite what you imagined.  That's OK. As a product of this culture, you probably have a warped definition of attraction that could use some redefining anyway. Likewise, she may not be as socially adapt as you had imagined.  My point is that these aren't deal breakers, so while you're creating your vision list, it's absolutely essential to know that your future partner won't meet all of your desires and that you'll have to sacrifice somewhere.  ...

Former Ukrainian MP Yevhen Murayev was named as a possible Kremlin candidate by the Foreign Office, which is unusual. Russia has deployed 100,000 troops near Ukraine's border, but denies plotting an invasion. If there is an incursion, UK politicians have warned that the Russian government will face catastrophic consequences. "The information being provided today casts a light on the scope of Russian action meant to destabilize Ukraine, and gives an insight into Kremlin thought," Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement. "Russia must de-escalate, halt its aggressive and disinformation campaigns, and follow a diplomatic approach." The Russian Foreign Ministry tweeted that the Foreign Office was "circulating lies" and that it should "end these provocative operations" and "stop propagating rubbi...

Timothy Affleck , the father of Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck , is sounding off in a rare interview, revealing that he believes that fame has taken a major "toll" on both of his famous sons. In new interview with Grazia , Timothy, who revealed that he's had his own battle against the bottle, said that he attributes many of his sons' issues, specifically Ben's well-documented issues with alcohol, to the gilded facade of Tinsel Town. Not mincing words, Timothy explained to the magazine, "Hollywood is a disgusting place. I think that's been a major factor in Ben's drinking. You're kind of forced to develop a persona that is hard to shed and go home to your family. It affects your whole life. I think that's one of the dangers of the film industry." In the interview, Timothy also attributed his own alcoholism to his son's problem with drinking. "I was a chronic, severe alcoholic for several years. I had to recover a...
