NYT NEWSROOM TURMOIL OVER PRINCE CHARLES GAY RUMOR
Fri Nov 07 2003 16:45:11 ET
Top editors at the NEW YORK TIMES panicked and ordered a story killed after London-based reporter Sarah Lyall filed a dispatch alleging rumors of Prince Charles and a sexual affair with one of his closest advisers!
The story appeared on the TIMES's internet website for 20 minutes -- before top editors ordered it immediately removed, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"This should never have been published!" a top newsroom source explained Friday evening.
Lyall reported: "No one would say what the rumor was. Not the British newspapers, which were writing long, innuendo-laced articles about it. Not the television commentators, who were discussing it with acrobatic opacity. Especially not Prince Charles, who seemed to be hoping it would just go away...
"The allegation (although no one has said so publicly) has to do with purported sexual contact between Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, and Michael Fawcett, one of his closest advisers."
Developing...

Was this the throne-shaking story the butler is supposed to be releasing? Good grief - British aristocrats have been buggering one another since Algore invented it in AD 100. I think it's kinda like a lodge initiation.
Well, I might have my history wrong there. It may have been earlier than that.

And to think that instead of being King, he really wanted to be Queen.

Oh my, wondered if this was the case of the non story. Some are saying he watched as someone else was raped, but what I heard this morning made me think he was the culprit himself, hmmm!
