Cabinet Office Accused of Royal Cover-Up
01:46|The Cabinet Office is under fire for allegedly concealing royal family documents, including minutes from 2004 and 2005 detailing Prince Andrews travel expenses as a trade envoy. The files were initially set for release to the National Archives but were abruptly withdrawn due to an administrative error, according to officials. Journalists who reviewed the documents before they were pulled found them to be routine, with one note mentioning a budget shift for Andrews trips. The anti-monarchy group Republic criticized the move, suspecting palace pressure to shield the royals from scrutiny. Other documents, such as those related to Dianas death and funeral, were released, but certain details remained secret. A lighter note involved a public apology from John Majors office in 1994 after the Queen Mothers birthday telegram was delivered with the wrong address. Checkout Solipillow.com
