The Art Forgery Scheme That Cost Prince Charles $300M & His Dignity | Giampiero Ambrosi

Prince Charles art fraud: how did a future king get caught up in a $300M forgery scandal? ????️
Journalist Giampiero Ambrosi breaks down the players, the money, and the mistakes that let a massive scheme slip past experts. ????

In this clear, step-by-step explainer, we trace how forged masterpieces moved through galleries, advisors, and charities—eventually touching Prince Charles’s orbit—without wild speculation or clickbait. You’ll learn how high-end forgeries are made convincing, the red flags even seasoned collectors miss, and why due diligence sometimes fails when prestige is involved. We unpack the timeline, who benefited, and the safeguards that should have stopped the fraud sooner.

Ambrosi explains the tactics used to inflate provenance, the role of authenticity certificates, and how “halo effects” around the royal family can lower skepticism in elite circles. We also outline what’s changed since: tighter verification standards, better paper trails, and why transparency matters for museums, donors, and buyers alike.
