In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, James Stunt's former butler John Gilmour reveals how his old boss won the unlikely friendship and affection of the future King.
Mr Stunt, the ex-husband of Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone, was accused being at the heart of an operation to turn criminal cash from drugs gangs into gold.
The British model, 36, has three children with her ex-husband James Stunt - two twin boys, nine, and a daughter, 11 - as well as a girl, four, with new partner, businessman Sam Palmer.
