“He said he thinks the whole government approach is appalling. It was clear that he was not impressed with the direction of the government”.
A spokesman for Prince Charles he did not deny that he had expressed personal views on politics in private.
“We will not comment on the alleged anonymous private conversations with the Prince, except to reaffirm that he remains politically neutral. Policy matters are government decisions,” the spokesman asserted.
The British government announced in April that had reached an agreement to potentially send tens of thousands of asylum seekers to Rwanda in an attempt to undermine human trafficking networks.
At least 30 people will continue to be expelled from the UK next week.
The government overcame a legal challenge to the policy on Friday, as a judge dismissed the activists’ attempts to win an injunction. The first flight could leave on Tuesday.
According to the British unwritten constitution, the royal family must remain politically neutral. Queen Elizabeth has remained firm in his opinions during his seven decades of reign.
Carlos, on the other hand, has expressed his opinion on familiar topics, such as nature conservation, architecture and genetically modified crops.
