Well Clown Prince Jug ears whom we all knew was an Arabist and Islamist tried to meddle in governmental affairs and put a stop to the British assistance in the Iraq war. Of course he felt that “Bush” was the scary one and of also of course that the  main problem over there was “Palestine” (that’s why Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1990 – it was all for the Palestinians). If ever there was proof that the monarchy needs to go it is the contemplation that Prince “I want to come back as a tampon and live in your trousers Camilla” will inherit the same throne that Victoria and Elizabeth I once held.

PRINCE Charles was so convinced Tony Blair was WRONG to take Britain to war in Iraq he broke Royal tradition and actively campaigned against the invasion, the News of the World can reveal.

Behind closed doors, the heir to the throne voiced his fears to senior politicians and mounted a staunch anti-war crusade in which he:

  • ATTACKED the then prime minister’s stance, mockingly calling him “our glorious leader”.
  • BLAMED American president George W Bush for action he believed to be misguided after reviewing secret intelligence.
  • WARNED the war would only stir up more serious trouble in the region.
  • ACCUSED western leaders of failing to deal with what he feels is the real cause of Islamic unrest – the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Meddling

Our extraordinary revelations – from the most impeccable inside sources – are certain to pile pressure on former premier Blair as he prepares to give evidence to the Chilcott inquiry into the war.

And they come as ex-PM Sir John Major twisted the knife yesterday, accusing Blair’s handling of the 2003 invasion of damaging trust in the UK political system more than the expenses scandal.

“The suspicion arises that this was more about regime change than about weapons of mass destruction,” he added.

Charles’ vocal opposition to the war could well land him in controversy too – caught in the crossfire of those who denounce him for “unconstitutional meddling” and supporters who praise his principled stands on issues such as the environment. There are likely to be calls for any exchanges between Charles and Blair – or his advisors – to be released to the Chilcot inquiry.
