Notes from the Prince of Wales to Savile revealed by the producers show that for about 20 years Savile became an unofficial advisor to Charles. They shed light on the extent to which the degraded former television presenter was able to influence the highest positions of the British state before his death in 2011. Netflix documentary filmmakers Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story have revealed that Savile has created a public relations handbook for royalty and their staff.

We know that from the exchange “. In a letter asking for suggestions on how to “get to parts of the country that others do not have time to reach,” Charles referred to Saville as “the dude who knows what’s going on.” In another note in 1989, he wrote: “I wonder if you would ever be ready to meet my sister-in-law – the Duchess of York? I can not help but feel that it would be extremely useful to her if you could. I feel it could do with a little of your simple common sense! “ In a letter written the following year, Charles told Savile that he was “so good at understanding what makes people work and that you are wonderfully skeptical and practical.” There is no indication that Prince Charles knew anything about Savile’s crimes, which came to public attention decades later. Clarence House did not respond to a request for comment.
