The ex-CEO’s resignation from the Prince’s Foundation is his third since he began working with the prince
Michael Fawcett’s service to the royal family began in his late teens, when the accountant’s son from Orpington, Kent, became a footman to the Queen in 1981.
The Prince of Wales is once said to have remarked: “I can manage without just about anyone, except for Michael.” The 58-year-old’s resignation as chief executive of the Prince’s Foundation – the umbrella group for the prince’s charitable interests – is his third since he began working alongside Charles.
