Prince Charles’s proximity to the late sex-offender Jimmy Savile were laid bare in a new Netflix documentary this week. Royal writer Angela Levin believes that the heir’s coterie of ‘Yes-men’ might have been to blame for failing to do their due diligence over the disgraced TV star.
‘For all the number of aides that he’s got – most of them are Yes-men, most of them are frightened to tell him what they really think, because they don’t want to say no to him,’ she tells our royal talk show Palace Confidential. ‘I think with aides they’re very good up to a certain extent… I mean Camilla would have probably made a big difference.’
Levin, who interviewed Savile twice, also recounts on the programme her own shocking experiences when she met him in the 1980s.
