Exiles ask King Charles to rescind honour given to Bahrain's monarch
The Guardian
|November 14, 2024
King Charles has been asked by exiles from Bahrain to rescind an honour he bestowed this week on the ruler of the Gulf kingdom.
Charles was told in a letter by the exiles: "It is personally difficult for us to view this honour as anything other than a betrayal of victims who have suffered at the hands of King Hamad and his brutal regime."
Buckingham Palace had been accused of "burying" the news that Charles had bestowed the Honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) on King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa.
It was the Gulf state's official news agency that announced on Tuesday that Charles had made the award, which was covered on the front pages of Bahrain's newspapers.

Gibbs-White hat-trick sinks Burnley to move Forest closer to safety
There was a moment early in the second half when Morgan Gibbs-White, asked to move left from his favoured No 10 position as Nottingham Forest reshaped at halftime to get back into a game Burnley were winning, mistimed his swivelled shot so badly, with a clear sight of goal, that the ball looped harmlessly behind, like a balloon at a child’s party.
