The King’s Foundation faces scrutiny over payments to Queen Camilla’s sister

The King’s Foundation is facing scrutiny following revelations that it pays Annabel Elliot, the younger sister of Queen Camilla, for consultancy services. Elliot, a 77-year-old interior designer and antiques dealer, is reportedly being paid for her expertise in branding and retail projects.

This development follows the decision by Prince William to remove Elliot from the payroll of the Duchy of Cornwall after he took over the role of Prince of Wales. While Elliot had previously received significant compensation from the Duchy for design advice over two decades, her retainer ended when Charles ascended to the throne. The subsequent payments from the King’s flagship charity have sparked debates regarding potential nepotism and the ethical management of non-profit funds within the British monarchy.
