HRH The Duke of Edinburgh
Quote from Barry Pittard's article:
His Royal Highness’s officials had to act on top of a
‘politically’ not very experienced or competent UK Duke of
Edinburgh Awards CEO, Peter Westgarth - see
HERE. They were slow off the mark. However, after
very high level representations from our side, the Duke of
Edinburgh Award Scheme trustees and Prince Philip’s Private
Secretary, Brigadier Sir Miles Hunt-Davies KCVO, CBE,
realized that a serious matter was at hand. Questions were
also raised by some powerful citizens, including a former Home
Minister, Tom Sackville. The Duke of Edinburgh Awards required
of Dr G. Venkataraman, head of Sathya Sai Baba’s international
propaganda apparatus and deputy world chairman of the Sathya Sai
Organization, that an official Sai Baba website take down the
triumphant - but absurdly mistaken - information that the Duke
of Edinburgh Award had been awarded to Sai Baba himself.
Venkataraman complied.
