Page 2 of 3 Mark Bolland is reputed to have been paid around £150,000-a-year during his time in the Royal household, but Charles may have seen his aide's worth as priceless as Bolland was the man who successfully promoted Camilla's role and position at his side. He also successfully softened opinion towards the couple's relationship in the aftermath of Diana's death. 
But the relationship was to sour as the formerly loyal aide went on to write a column for the News of The World in which he publicly criticised his former boss. 
Mark Bolland also tells how, "despite our best efforts, the Prince did not always avoid politically contentious issues" and claims "he continued to write letters which denounced elected leaders of foreign countries in extreme terms." Bolland says the Prince sent out details of his private diaries to close friends and associates, even if he had only met the person a couple of times: "I was always surprised that these letters were not treated as more private or sensitive and, indeed, was always surprised that they were written at all." |
