Prince Charles has access to confidential documents: Report

December 16, 2015 01:28

Prince Charles is routinely sent papers from confidential UK Cabinet meetings, a media report said today raising concerns over the neutrality of the heir to the Britain throne.

The latest documents reveal that Prince Charles is sent papers on the inner workings of the government, alongside Queen Elizabeth II and ministers in charge of departments, including secret proposals for new legislation and other documents that are made public only after 30 years under UK's de-classification rules, the 'Guardian' newspaper reported.

Confirmation of the circulation of Cabinet files to the 67-year-old future monarch is detailed in the Cabinet's "precedent book", which until now has been kept in a locked cupboard within a locked office in a secured corridor inside the Cabinet Office, the report said.
