The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) has invited a witness statement from Prince Charles.
The inquiry is investigating how far institutions failed to protect children from sexual abuse within the Anglican Church.
Next month it will examine the sexual abuse of 18 men by former Bishop of Lewes Peter Ball and the environment around him. Peter Ball was the local bishop to the Prince of Wales. larence House said Prince Charles ‘has made it clear that he was unaware of the extent of Mr Ball’s behaviour’ but was more than willing to provide context about Ball. The inquiry has been focussing on the Diocese of Chichester as a case study and heard evidence from survivors and clergy alike over the course of three weeks in March.
