Kate has bottle in big chill
Rebel Prince by Tom Bower – out next week – is expected to tell how George Smith also said he saw the same person performing a sex act.
Charles’ wife Diana is said to have made two recordings of the Falklands War veteran making his claims – but one has since vanished.
A Palace investigation called his claim “fiction”. And the divorced dad-of-two died aged 44 in 2005.
His father Peter, 86, yesterday insisted: “Our family went through hell and there’s nothing to gain by going into the whole thing again.
“He is dead and gone now – we just want George to rest in peace.”
The retired driving instructor from Newport, South Wales, added: “My son was not a liar. But the whole thing was covered up and George was left hanging in the wind – people higher up the social scale didn’t back him.”
George’s sister Suzanne Shaw, 61, said: “We’re furious this is being raked up. We want to get on with life and remember George as a loved family member.”
The book is thought to focus heavily on Diana’s butler Paul Burrell, who police believed may have had the missing tape.
Charles was said to be “concerned” that sons William and Harry would have to give evidence at his theft trial in 2002. Burrell was cleared.
Bower reveals secrets about Charles’ marriage to Diana and his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles – and details some of his eccentric behaviour.
Before a visit to a friend in north-east England, he sent staff up in a truck a day early to replace “perfectly appropriate fittings” in guest rooms.
The book claims the lorry took Charles and Camilla’s complete bedrooms – including his orthopaedic bed and linen – a radio, his own loo seat, toilet paper, Laphroaig whisky, bottled water and two Scottish Highlands landscapes.
Charles is said to be angry at the release of the book weeks before son Harry’s wedding. And he fears it could lead to a backlash against himself. THE Duchess of Cambridgebridge turns emerald for St Patrick’s Day as shee braves the bitter cold and sleet eight monthshs pregnant.
