Up to the time of his murder in 1979 at the hands of the IRA, who exploded a bomb on his yacht, killing him and three others, Lord Mountbatten, often known as "Uncle Dickie" in Royal circles, was a close mentor to Charles.

If Smyth's allegation is confirmed, he will be the fourth person to come forward and accuse Mountbatten of abusing them. Arthur, who claims to be one of the victims of Mountbatten’s abuse, apparently attempted suicide by wrecking his motorcycle later in life and was hospitalised because he was so traumatised.
