Archangel Lucifer originally, before his fall.
Means "bearer of light."

It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

And early matches were known as lucifers. Cummings, however, has nothing to do with the light but has something of the night about him.

And what on earth did he do for 230 charities apart from having his name on the letter head?

You (indirectly) raise an important issue. Getting letterhead, publicity, ads, brochures, websites, etc. changed costs money. Charities are meant to spend their resources on good works for their chosen sector NOT spending their money on the fall-out of a prince gone bad. Should he not be paying for all this from his own pocket (which at the end of the day is our pockets anyway). Which maybe illustrates just how daft the kings & queens & subjects system really is.

Are you serious??

The charity PR teams made a judgement that he'd be good for them. They got it wrong.

What next: compensation payouts to Royalists who are a bit upset that Prince Andy isn't perfect after all?
