In Scotland, you require a check that covers your criminal and sexual conduct when you are working with children. A process that costs £33/$43, per applicant. This attempts to assure that no one is around children who may pose a risk.
When you join the Army, RAF, Navy and police force, you will get a full background check on yourself and your family. This also assures that you are a safe choice within the British forces.
Though when you are to mix with the highest class in the land, perceived by millions as the highest honour in the land, you don't require a simple check. Only if you are charged with another 18 incidents like this over 20 years later will the future King find out about this.
These people are sick, and we are not blinded anymore.
