An open letter dated 10 January 2024 was sent to the current Director-General and Chief Executive of The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) which questions whether His Majesty King Charles III was in full possession of the facts when he agreed to make his predecessor a KCMG in last year’s Birthday Honours list? The letter is available here
The grounds for this doubt are explained in the letter but it is made clear that there is no reason to believe that the new Director-General and Chief Executive is implicated at all.
(Publication of the letter from Law PB was delayed due to the original and copies being sent by first class post to the recipients.)
