Monarch Charles Implicated in New Allegations of Mistreatment; Prince Andrew Cleared, Yet Controversy Persists
In a shocking revelation, survivors of the Kincora Boys' Home in Belfast have come forward with harrowing claims of sexual abuse, including allegations against Lord Louis Mountbatten, a historical figure of the British royal family [1][2]. One of the survivors, Arthur Smyth, claims he was raped by Mountbatten when he was just 11 years old in 1977 [1].
According to Smyth, the abuse took place in a room with a shower, leaving him traumatized, crying, and feeling sick afterwards [1]. Another survivor, Richard Kerr, claimed he was trafficked alongside a teenager named Stephen Waring, and was allegedly driven by Mains before being picked up by Mountbatten's security [1].
These allegations are part of a broader child sexual abuse scandal connected to Kincora Boys' Home and other institutions, such as Portora Royal College, a prestigious school in Northern Ireland. Boys from Portora, known for their social status, were reportedly targeted by an upper-class network involved in abuse [2]. Lord Mountbatten was implicated in this network, with his sexual activities reportedly known within certain circles in Britain, including connections to figures like Sir Maurice Oldfield, a former MI6 chief involved in the same network [2].
The resurfacing of these claims, detailed in Chris Moore’s investigative book *Kincora: Britain’s Shame*, has intensified scrutiny on the British royal family, given Mountbatten’s close ties as the uncle of Prince Philip and mentor to King Charles [1][3]. These disturbing allegations add to ongoing concerns about abuse cover-ups within elite institutions and circles historically protected by the establishment [2].
The police reportedly warned Richard Kerr and Stephen Waring never to discuss this incident again [1]. The survivors claim that the trauma from these alleged incidents has remained with them for all these years [1]. Buckingham Palace has yet to respond to the latest claims.
The book claims that Arthur Smyth is just one of the victims of Mountbatten's alleged sexual abuse [1]. Chris Moore, the author of the book, wrote that Smyth's tormentors are both now dead, but they continue to live on in his memory and bring back how he felt as an innocent 11-year-old boy [1]. Sean, another alleged victim, described Mountbatten as "a sad and lonely person" [1].
This fresh blow for King Charles comes just days after Prince Andrew reportedly celebrated being cleared by the FBI investigations about the Epstein files. The allegations against Mountbatten serve as a reminder of the ongoing need for transparency and accountability within the royal family and other elite institutions.

In the context of the resurfaced allegations, the discussion surrounding Kincora Boys' Home extends to more general-news topics, including politics and crime-and-justice, as the involvements of historical figures like Lord Louis Mountbatten are being scrutinized. The investigation book, "Kincora: Britain’s Shame," delves into Mountbatten's alleged involvements in a child sexual abuse network, a matter that raises ongoing concerns about cover-ups within elite circles.
