Things appear to be heating up in court, where the Candies are chasing Qatari Diar for compensation after their deal to redevelop Chelsea Barracks fell apart. Long time Rat readers will remember an explosion of anger on the part of investors and starchitects, when it was revealed traditionalist Prince Charles had had a hand in the business... phoning his pal the Emir of Qatar (cousin to the chairman of QD) to express his disapproval of the plans. The latest is an accusation that emails were deliberately deleted, in an attempt to separate the prince from the decision.
