According to the report Sunday Times And Mail on Sunday.The royal aide reportedly offered to help honor the Saudi tycoon, who made several large donations to Prince Charles’ charity.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Dr. Bin Mahfouz denied any outside involvement in his CBE status, saying the business had “no personal or direct contact with Mr. Fawcett regarding citizenship or Knighthood”. Any request, influence or arrangement, or anyone affiliated with the HRH Prince of Wales or the Princes Foundation. “
This is not the first time Fawcett has served the British royal family as Queen Elizabeth II’s feet in 1981 and later moved into Prince Charles’s house as his wallet.
