As an unfortunate result of this, the Queen’s second son has never been able to accept that his brief as our international trade envoy is to open doors using royal charm and nothing more.
Perhaps, though, his spluttering anger, reported by an American ambassador, at the ‘idiocy’ (as he put it) of the Serious Fraud Office’s six-year investigation into allegations of bribery in Britain’s multi-billion-pound al-Yamama arms deal with Saudi Arabia, is understandable.
