Prince Charles repeatedly sought advice from pedophile Jimmy Savile, Netflix doc claims: ‘He was duped’

In one correspondence, Charles sought guidance on how to deal with Prince Andrew’s insensitive comments about the 1988 Lockerbie disaster, a terrorist plane bombing that killed everyone aboard and 11 people on the ground.

When Charles’ younger brother visited a Scottish town just days after the tragedy, the Duke of York said, "I supposed statistically something like this has got to happen at some stage … Of course, it only affects the community in a very small way."

Rowan Deacon, the documentary’s director, told the outlet that "it reignited a discussion about how the royal family should respond to disasters."

"Jimmy Savile wrote this dossier, quite an in-depth document of advice, on how the queen should behave and how members of the royal family should not be in competition with each other," Deacon explained.
