Prince Charles complains Brexit ‘obsession’ has stifled debate on Christian persecution
by Robert Mendick, Telegraph:
The Prince of Wales has complained that the public has become overly ‘obsessed’ with Brexit to the detriment of other burning issues including the plight of Christians in the Middle East.
According to a well-placed source, Prince Charles expressed his concerns at a Lambeth Palace reception hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Reverend Justin Welby at which he was guest of honour.
The heir to the throne told fellow guests that he believed a major report into religious persecution had “sunk without trace” because it was overshadowed by the ongoing fallout from the European referendum.
Prince Charles told guests at the event on Thursday evening: “People are more interested and obsessed with Brexit than persecuted Christians.”
The comments have not been denied by Royal aides. Clarence House said it did not comment on private conversations.
