The future King’s former valet Michael Fawcett has temporarily stepped down as chief executive of the Prince’s Foundation following the accusationsCalls for police to probe Prince Charles aide over cash for honours scandalPolice have been asked to open a criminal investigation into an alleged cash for honours scandal involving one of Prince Charles’ closest aides. Leaked emails suggest Mr Mahfouz, 51, was “promised” an honour after he donated £1.5million to restoration projects of interest to Charles, 72. Ex-Lib Dem MP Norman Baker said: “The idea Michael Fawcett was doing things Prince Charles knew nothing about is nonsense. Sources say Prince Charles has been told of the inquiry into Mr Fawcett, who became a footman to the Queen in 1981. He resigned after a report criticised the running of the royal household but continued to work as Prince Charles’ events manager.
