Charles seeks replacement Fawcett to vet VIP donors

FORGET Michael Fawcett, King Charles wants somebody to look after wealthy donors at his beloved Dumfries House, headquarters of the Prince’s Foundation.

The ‘philanthropy-manager high net-worth individuals’ will receive a salary of up to £45,000 a year.

But the successful candidate has to make sure there are no dodgy donors as he or she must ‘manage reputational risk through rigorous due diligence’.

An advert on the foundation’s website explains that the position is ‘key to the overall delivery of the Prince’s Foundation’s fundraising success’.

The King is under growing pressure to make a public statement over the alleged cash-for-honours scandal. Fawcett, the King’s former valet, quit as head of the Prince’s Foundation last year when the first allegations emerged.

He is accused of helping to fix an honorary CBE for Saudi tycoon Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz after he gave more than £1.5 million to royal causes.
