An aide to the Prince of Wales has denied allegations that he raped another male servant.The statement issued by solicitors representing the man, who has not revealed his identity, follows the claims made by former royal valet George Smith.
The aide said Mr Smith was unreliable and accused him of changing his story.
Mr Smith, from Newport, south Wales, waived his right to anonymity by speaking to the Mail on Sunday newspaper about the alleged assault.
The 42-year-old Falklands veteran has also accused the Royal Family of a cover-up.
Tape recording
Details of the alleged rape of Mr Smith emerged following the collapse of the theft case against Paul Burrell, former butler to Diana, Princess of Wales.
During his trial it emerged the princess had kept a cassette tape containing details of a case of alleged male rape of one of Prince Charles' members of staff.
