Prince Charles, the UK’s heir to the throne of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, described the government’s plan to deport illegal immigrants to Rwanda for asylum as “terrible”.
Queen Elizabeth’s eldest son, Charles, Prince of Wales, reportedly expressed concern in private over Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plans to tackle illegal immigration, which continues to see record numbers of immigrants crossing the English Channel from France. on dangerous small boats.
While he is bound by royal neutrality agreements when it comes to political matters, he is openly disgusted by the plan to send illegals to African asylums, fearing it might overshadow his speech at the British Commonwealth meeting. Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, later this month, London Times reported.
A source close to the prince told the official British newspaper that he heard Charles voiced his disapproval of government policies several times.
“He said he was even more disappointed with this policy,” the source said. “He thinks the whole approach of the government is terrible. He was clearly unaffected by the government’s course. ”
Prince Charles’ personal office in Clarence House did not deny that the heir to the throne was opposed to the government’s measures, but claimed that he was not trying to use his influence to influence lawmakers.
“We will not comment on the allegedly anonymous private meeting with the Prince of Wales, except to reiterate that he remains politically neutral. Policy issues are government decisions,” he said.

While comments on Rwanda’s policy have been made privately, Charles has a long history of making his views public, particularly on climate change and the green agenda. For example, at the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow last year, the Prince of Wales urged world leaders to launch a “broad military campaign” to tackle the perceived climate crisis.
Charles’ public disapproval of the deportation plan followed the intervention of ice cream maker Ben & Jerry and actress Emma Thompson, who openly condemned the “racist” plan to send illegal immigrants to Rwanda.
Despite the enmity of awakened celebrities and all the efforts of so-called charities, labor unions and activist lawyers, the Home Office recently overcame one hurdle to push the plan forward: On Friday, the Supreme Court’s first deportation flights, scheduled for Tuesday, must be allowed to crash. from the ground.
However, opponents of the plan, including the controversial pro-immigration charity Care4Calais and activist group Direct Action, were given permission to appeal the decision on Monday. The resettlement plan as a whole will also appeal to the Supreme Court later this year.
So far, more than 10,000 people have crossed the English Channel illegally in small boats off the coast of France since the beginning of this year; this is more than two and a half times compared to the same period last year.
By preventing illegal immigrants from seeking asylum on British soil and thus staying in the country for many years, the government hopes they will destroy the business model of smuggling gangs that operate human trafficking networks on both sides of the border. Guide and prevent migrants from traveling to the UK, even in safe countries.
