George Smith (royal servant)

George Anthony Smith (13 September 1960 - 24 August 2005) was a former footman and valet in the Royal Household of Prince Charles.
Smith alleged:
*that he was raped by Michael Fawcett, a favoured servant of the Prince Charles; and
*that Fawcett was himself in a homosexual relationship with the Prince of Wales, who protected him.
The allegations made in November 2003 were the subject of a legal injunction in the United Kingdom.
On 13 June 2004, the Sunday Telegraph claimed that Smith had withdrawn his allegations. But he repudiated their claim, and stated that while he had been tempted by their offer of cash in return for a withdrawal, he had refused the offer, because the allegations were true.
Smith died in Newport, Wales on 24 August 2005.
