SIR Jimmy Savile tried to grope a young royal during his 40-year reign of perversion, it was claimed last night.
DJ David Hamilton told how Savile made a beeline for the Countess of Wessex when she was a young PR at London’s Capital Radio.
Prince Edward’s wife-to-be, Sophie Rhys-Jones as she was then, had been hand-picked to meet the former Top Of The Pops presenter as he joined Capital Gold in 1990. ,,,
Last night Royal Armouries International, who own Savile’s Hall at Clarence Dock in the DJ’s home city of Leeds, said it too would ditch the name “out of respect for public opinion”.
And the Catholic church also turned its back on him.
Insiders say they are considering stripping Savile of a Papal knighthood he was granted by Pope John Paul II in 1990. A spokesman said: “It may have to be reviewed.”
