Charles' former PR guru Mark Bolland has sensationally told the High Court
that the Prince sees himself as a political "dissident".The formerly loyal aide also claims Charles sees his job as being to adopt a campaigning role, working against the political concensus, which Bolland says he always feared might conflict with the Prince's future constitutional role as King. 
In a written statement revealed in the High Court in London, the Prince of Wales' former PR man Mark Bolland has said the Prince sees himself as a political "dissident". He also claims the heir to the throne sees his job as being to adopt a campaigning role, working against the political concensus, which the PR man says he always feared might conflict with the Prince's future constitutional role as King. Giving a remarkable insight into the Prince's mind-set, Bolland says: "He often referred to himself as a "dissident" working against the prevailing political concensus." 
The Prince had previously attempted, through legal action, to stop Bolland's statement being made public. However, it was revealed this morning that he had finally dropped this bid, perhaps because he faced overwhelming legal opposition on this matter from the combined powers of The Times, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Independent, the BBC and ITN. |
