Prince Charles's former secretary lodges sex discrimination complaint
Tue Aug 24, 1:28 PM ET
LONDON (AFP) - A former secretary for Britain's Prince Charles who was dismissed earlier this year has filed a legal complaint alleging sexual discrimination, the prince's office said.
Elaine Day, who worked for five years as a personal assistant at Clarence House, the official residence of the Prince of Wales, alleged she was unfairly dismissed and has complained of sexual discrimination and victimization on the grounds of sex.
"We will be contesting the complaint vigorously," a royal spokeswoman said, confirming the complaint, which targets the "household" of the Prince of Wales.
"(Day's) complaint makes no allegations of racism or racial discrimination," she said, rebutting an earlier report which emerged in the Daily Mail tabloid.
A spokesman at the employment tribunal in Croydon, a borough in south London, said Day's complaint had been filed last week.
The royal household has roughly three weeks to lodge a response to the claim. No hearing has been set for the proceedings, the court spokesman said.
