It was with great trepidation that the British royal family discovered the documentary Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story, airing this Wednesday, April 6. If Prince Charles had managed to stay away from scandals, Queen Elizabeth’s son is risking big today. Available on the Netflix platform, this report highlights the life of Jimmy Savile, flagship host of the BBC. But then, how can the heir to the throne of England be linked to this controversial man? It’s simple…
Jimmy Savile’s actions shook the whole of the UK. For more than 60 years, the man in question allegedly assaulted hundreds of young teenage girls in his workplace. Terrible actions that took place at his workplace or in the associations in which he was a volunteer. A judicial investigation shows that Jimmy Savile would be one of the biggest pedophiles and sexual predators across the Channel. Much loved by the British people, he had been awarded numerous distinctions, including that of the Order of the British Empire. Prince Charles was also one of his admirers.
2022 or the return of the annus horribilis?
The father of princes Harry and William would have turned to Jimmy Savile on numerous occasions so that the latter could help him in the way of “seduce the public”. A way for him to restore the coat of arms of the royal family in the 80s. “You are so good at understanding what works with people”, the Prince of Wales had written to him in his letters. Prince Charles also asked his correspondent for advice on how to deal with failures in public relations. Handwritten evidence that could shake the walls of Buckingham Palace.
The documentary Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story also explains how the host has bonded with important people in society, such as politicians, British personalities and even members of the British royal family. There is no suggestion that Prince Charles or other members of the Crown were aware of the presenter’s actions. For the moment, the British royal family has not made any comment on this subject.
