Prince Charles’s Ties To Scandal-Hit Charity Kids’ Company
By Miles Goslett- Prince reportedly ‘gave scandal-hit charity founder 25 “clinical” papers’
- Kids’ Company then arranged brain experiments on vulnerable children
- In Britain, Kids’ Company was shut down after claims of drugs, abuse of kids, and cash handed to friends of the founder Camila Batmanghelidjh
- Heir to throne now linked to biggest ‘charity’ scandal in UK for years
- Camila Batmanghelidjh and Prince of Wales have no medical training
- Journalist alerted Prince’s office to drug-taking claims
- But Royal ties strengthened – including personal fund-raising
Prince Charles first met Camila Batmanghelidjh in 1998, apparently after hearing about her through friends.
Following Diana’s untimely death the previous year, his popularity in Britain had plummeted.
At the same time Batmanghelidjh and her two-year-old charity, then relatively unknown, were hungry for publicity, validity and prestige.
Each, it seems, found an ally in the other, with Charles, the ultimate establishment figure, helping the now-defunct Kids’ Company to secure some of the £46 million of taxpayers’ money it received between 2000 and 2015, in the process burnishing his image.
Yet – far more disturbingly – the Prince of Wales was also instrumental in introducing Batmanghelidjh to the possibilities of brain ‘research’ experiments – to which some vulnerable Kids’ Company children were later subjected.
For these reasons, the importance of the role he played in the promotion of Kids’ Company is undeniable.
