Nearly three years ago, Michael Fawcett made a dramatic exit from royal service, stepping down as the chief executive of the Prince’s Foundation.
His departure was marked by controversy after allegations surfaced that he had discussed securing British citizenship and a knighthood for a Saudi billionaire who donated over £1.5 million to the Foundation.
However, it seems Fawcett’s story is far from over.
Despite the scandal, Fawcett, who previously served as a Buckingham Palace footman, remains in high demand as an ‘events planner.’ His reputation for meticulous attention to detail and the loyalty of his wealthy clients have kept him busy.
Recently, Fawcett and his wife Debbie made a savvy move by selling their five-bedroom house near Hampton Court for £1.3 million—a significant profit considering they purchased it for £490,000 back in 2003.
The property was not just a home but a showcase of luxury, including a portrait of Fawcett by renowned artist Peter Kuhfeld.
The Fawcett home boasted high-end features like Miele appliances and lavishly carpeted bedrooms.
As chief executive of Dumfries House—a Palladian mansion preserved for the nation by King Charles—Fawcett had a hand in laying £40,000 worth of new carpets, courtesy of a generous Arab donor.
The property’s rear garden, accessible via bi-folding doors from the kitchen, was noted for its ‘wow factor,’ featuring mature trees, shrubs, and a summerhouse.
