Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths said that "palace aids went ballistic" after King Charles was reportedly 'bounced' by a senior courtier into signing a document appointing a job at the Palace.
According to The Mail, The King's private secretary has been forced to order a U-turn on a appointment that was "slid under Charles' nose" by a "mischievous Herold."
Speaking to GB News, Griffiths explained: "This is a story about a mischievous herald. He wanted to get a man appointed into a role.
"So what he did was, he got it under the nose of The King while The King was in London. I now know that when the King is in London, it's only to do one thing. It's to see his doctors and have cancer treatment.

"There was a huge row behind the scenes because everyone knows there's a very strict protocol, which I didn't know about until I did the story."

"So if The King's in London, he's not doing any official documents or official work. This guy had circumnavigated the protocol to get his way.
GB News host Ben Leo asked her: "The King, just to clarify, was not totally with it after his cancer treatment?"
Griffiths responded: "Yeah, I think, and he was bounced into signing this."
Ben then questioned her: "What does that say about the security and the future of the monarchy? If you've got courtiers shoving paperwork under his nose when he's trying to recover from quite serious treatment?"

Griffiths answered: "I think a lot of questions were asked, which is how it's made its way to me. But trust me, Palace aids went ballistic.
"The two private secretaries that look after Charles reversed the decision. U- turned it. And now the protocols are going to be more strict than ever to make sure it doesn't happen again."
