According to Charlotte Griffith, editor-at-large of The Mail on Sunday, King Charles III was betrayed by a close aide amid cancer treatment who would have abused his trust while the monarch was undergoing health care in London, taking advantage of his majesty’s vulnerability.
It would be David White, King of Arms of the Garter, who did not miss the opportunity to deceive the King while he was weak from treatment and manipulated him into signing an authorization to promote his close friend Peter O’Donoghue to the post of Secretary of the Order of the Garter at the College of Arms.
The source said that this act to King Charles III “It’s like a trick from the Middle Ages. There’s been a huge row behind the scenes“. She continued, revealing that “Some people believe that David White deliberately tried to get to Charles behind their backs so that he could get his preferred candidate into the role“.
The source explained, “the King is in London he is here to receive treatment and therefore that can often be a challenging time for him“, and despite the protocols indicating that it was not appropriate to ask Charles III to sign anything until he was back at work, the monarch would have been betrayed during this vulnerable moment.
