CNN has not independently verified the Times report. Clarence House told CNN in a statement that the Prince of Wales remains politically neutral. “We will not comment on the alleged anonymous private conversations with the Prince of Wales, except to reiterate that he remains politically neutral. Policy matters are decisions of the government,” said Clarence House. The Times reported that the Prince of Wales feared the controversial policy would prevail at the Commonwealth Summit of Heads of Government later this month in Kigali, Rwanda, where he is expected to represent Queen Elizabeth II. In response to the Times, a spokesman for the British government told CNN: “Our world-leading partnership with Rwanda will make those who travel dangerously, unnecessarily and illegally in the UK relocate there to have their claims taken into account. rebuild their lives. “There is no single solution to the global migration crisis, but doing nothing is an option and this cooperation will help break the business model of criminal gangs and prevent the loss of lives.” “Rwanda is a fundamentally safe and secure country with a history of supporting asylum seekers and we are confident that the agreement is fully compatible with all national and international law,” the statement added. The UK government announced in April that it had reached an agreement to send asylum seekers to the East African country, in a move it insisted was aimed at disrupting human trafficking networks and preventing migrants from crossing the dangerous Channel in England from Europe. . On Friday, the United Kingdom’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda as early as next week came to light after the High Court in London rejected an order given by the militants to block the first flight due to depart on Tuesday. The Interior Ministry’s plan is under judicial review in the Royal Courts of Justice, where a ruling on its legality is expected at the end of July. Human rights groups have said they will appeal the ruling. Care4Calais, one of the human rights groups that initially pushed for the deportation ban, said they were given permission to appeal the ruling Monday.
