In a shocking sex scandal that has rocked the palace, the family of Prince Charles’ former valet George Smith is demanding a fresh investigation into claims that he was raped by a member of Prince Charles’ staff. The allegations are said to have shocked Charles’ wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
The claims come at an awkward time for Charles who is facing increasing scrutiny of his past – including claims he has at least one love child (WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW).
According to the National Enquirer, George’s brother told the publication that Buckingham Palace “covered up” the incident “leading to an official declaration that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.”
The allegations have previously been denied by the palace.
“George was portrayed as a liar and a raving alcoholic,” Bryan Smith told the publication.
According to George’s account, the staff member invited him to his house for drinks and fell asleep and when he woke up he found that his pants were down and there was evidence of sexual activity.
George also alleged that he’d seen Charles in bed with the man, before his marriage to Camilla.
“I did say to him, maybe you got it mistaken with someone else, but he goes, ‘No, no, it was definitely him,’” Bryan told the publication.
George later died under mysterious circumstances in 2005 and the palace and the man accused comprehensively denied his claims when they first surfaced.
“George became ill because of the royals. He has psychological problems from the alleged rape,” Bryan added.
“I think the palace covered up a lot of stuff and it was downplayed on the news.”
The palace has yet to respond to the latest claims by the National Enquirer.
