King Charles's court has recently caused a sensational storm, and a leading conspiracy has surfaced. The turmoil stemmed from the cynical deception of a high-ranking courtier to the king, who signed a document appointing a colleague to work in the palace while he was recovering.
According to British media on April 14, the central figure of the storm is David White, the king of the Garter coat of arms. White was accused of ignoring long-established court procedures and using "secret channels" to secure the King's signature on his preferred choice for senior appointments at the Military Academy.
The incident occurred while the king was being treated for cancer in London, and the staff were instructed not to burden him. According to people familiar with the matter, one of the king's closest aides was "furious" as a result, believing White's actions to be a flouting of the king's authority.
White's actions caused internal discontent and anger. He tried to bypass the king's comptroller and private secretary by recommending a colleague to the king for a senior position as secretary of the Order of the Garter.
Normally, such recommendations should be submitted through official channels, but White opted for a more private approach. This act was thought to be a deliberate ambush to bypass the King's Comptroller and his private secretaries, Colonel Michael Vernon and Sir Clive Alderton, to give his preferred candidate the position.
The timing of the turmoil was also quite dramatic. At a critical juncture for the king's cancer treatment and recovery, his aides tried to keep him away from political strife. However, White's actions provoked a storm at this sensitive time, exposing power struggles and political intrigues within the court.
Previously, White was ostracized for making a mistake at the Queen's funeral. He allegedly forgot to say "God bless the king" during that grand ceremony, a blunder that caused King Charles' ire. As a result, White has long been a controversial figure, and this incident has made his image even worse.
A royal source said: "This kind of direct contact with the king should never happen. It should always be handed over to the private secretary. Michael Vernon was furious at David's decision to bypass the entire system. I think Clive Alderton was equally annoyed by this. ”
Although White himself declined to comment on the matter, his actions have already attracted widespread attention and criticism. Palace insiders said that such direct contact with the king should never happen and should always be done through official channels. The turmoil not only exposed the power struggles within the court, but also triggered a re-examination of court procedures and norms.
Behind this political conspiracy lies the complex turmoil of power struggles and interest games. The king's authority was challenged, and the tensions were further exacerbated by the power struggle within the court. The occurrence of this incident not only caused damage to the image of King Charles, but also brought a lot of trouble to the British royal family, and became the focus of people's discussions.
