A Belfast court will hear allegations this week that a senior member of the British royal family abused a young boy at a notorious children’s home in the city in the 1970s.
Arthur Smyth, a one time resident of Kincora, has waived his anonymity to make allegations against Lord Louis Mountbatten, an uncle of King Charles III.
Lord Mountbatten was murdered along with three other people when the IRA detonated a bomb on his boat in Mullaghmore, Co Sligo, in 1979.

Mr Smyth’s solicitor, Kevin Winters, said the allegations would form part of a civil action against state bodies responsible for the care of children in Kincora.
“He alleges to have been abused twice as an 11-year-old by the deceased royal,” Mr Winters said.
“It’s the first time that someone has stepped forward to take allegations against Lord Mountbatten into a court.
“That decision hasn’t been taken lightly. He understands only too well that it will be a deeply unpopular case with many people coming as it does within weeks of the passing of the queen.
“However, litigation involving mental, physical and sex abuse isn’t undertaken to deliberately offend sensitivities. It’s taken for many reasons including exposing perpetrators and the institutions or other agencies which helped suppress the truth.
Mr Smyth now lives in Australia. He told the Sunday Life Newspaper he had been abused by Lord Mountbatten in 1977 but only realised who he was two years later from news reports after his murder.
The police are also part of the legal action because of their failure to adequately investigate allegations about the children’s home which were first raised in the early seventies.
A public inquiry into historical abuse at a series of institutions reported in 2017.
It found that 39 boys had been abused over the years at Kincora, and children there had been let down by the state.
Three former Kincora staff were jailed in 1981 for abusing 11 boys. They have since died.
The public inquiry found no evidence to substantiate claims that security force agencies had been complicit in the abuse.
A report by Northern Ireland’s Police Ombudsman last month found major deficiencies in how the then RUC had responded to abuse complaints raised by residents at the time and said officers had failed in their duty to the victims.
The PSNI, which replaced the RUC, apologised.

It’s high time that a serious investigation was carried out in to these accusations not just at the Kincora boys home but many others in the UK , This investigation might bring to light further evidence of alleged offences by people who have been thought to be above the law because of their social positions.
The BBC has ben steeped in corruption and racism since its inception
they have been behind the homosexual revoltion all the way
with its double entendres of ” Round the Horne ” “captain pugwash” etc
The Carnaby st thing with the boys dressing as girls and girls having cropped hair and trousers
was pushed and celebrated by the BBC, and when DJ Jonathan King was on trial for raping
scooter riding mods, he said the way they were dressed he thought they were up for it.
Paul Gambaccini turned queens evidence on Jimmy Savile and other Homosexual DJ’s
he said the boys who wore makeup wore bright feminine clothing were much sought after by homosexuals, from the low class up to royalty and now the BBC is trying to bring it back, with the new series
about ” new wave boys who think they are girls ”
This sickness should be stopped, do not pay your TV licence until the BBC
stops programming our kids for sexual perversion.
in certain circles Lord Mountbater was known as ” lord Mountbottom”
he was like Churchill a women hater and liked to bugger small boys
A former memeber of the Stern gang testified that he manny Valence a hatton garden silverware factory owner, said that Jimmy saville was promised protection for life from Israeli premier Menachem Begin
Manny valence showed the authorities where over 20 small arab boys were buried
they were kidnapped for menahem begin to torture rape and murder.
He also spoke of 2 members of the royasl family who liked to abuse small boys
one was known to be sir anthony blunt a vile twissted homosexual devilat
Perhaps, it is much better to assess if similar and like minded people either from the royal family, politicians or celebrities are doing the same abuse today in any of the existing institutions. There are sick perverts today as what it was in yesteryear.
on this prison planet of evil never
will be justice !
the evil people are just honoured
as philantrophs + get knighthood +
nobel prices because its the planet
of lies .
Those of us who lived nearby to the home knew about Mountbatten Saville Greville Janner Edward Heath
and all the other dirty homosexuals, this is why the IRA killed mountbatten
so no more little irish boys would have to go through this terrible ordeal
Perfidious springs to mind.
The police are ALWAYS complicit in this type of crime. Savile, Heath, Smith, Mountbatten, so-called “royals”, MPs, always protected and allowed to continue until they’re safely out of this world, though we can hope they face judgement in the next.
Even now, most people believe the police exist to protect US from criminals of all kinds, but the reality is that fighting crime is merely a lucrative sideline for those who’s real job is to protect the wealthy perverts FROM us.
mountbatten was a total clot
in w w 2 he did everything he could to divert money from the RAF to the navy
he liked ships and he liked young sailors
he thought that he could run the navy as Britain had been a great maritime nation and he wanted
to gloat that he over saw the victory, but as we had broken the german codes it wasdecided we could bomb them on the ground and win the battle in the iar
the story of the battle of britain with our fighter pilots is nonsense of course
sir anthony blunt said pilots were getting half way to germany dropping bombs in the sea and coming home
so rothschild and churchill decided to bomb undefended towns where soldiers wives and children were
this was the major war crime of w w 2
Finally when Britian gave india home rule mountbetten made a total fudge of it and there was huge bloodhsed between hindu and muslim
this is still going on today in liecester this very week
mountbatten was a stuck up idiot who bugered small boys
@ Nosmo..
“Mountbottom”… an excellent epithet for another of the right royal nonces..
Years ago l had an acquaintance who had background on a lot of this stuff because that paid the bills (and ex-wives) and claimed that the lRA targeted uncle ‘louis’ on his boat because it was often to be seen floating around the coast of lreland…where he preyed on young lads.. and one of them had been used to bait the old bastard before he was sent to Hell..
just as with the other ‘establishment nonce’ Ted Heath… the boats were a tool of the trade ..so to speak
and funnily enough the first thing old king Dobby demanded from the muggles of the Septic lsles…
was a nice new ‘yacht’….which undoubtedly will be named …
‘Savile’s Row’…..
You can’t help but come to the conclusion that the security services/deep state looked the other way on this ? A member of the Royal Family with no protection ? As i understand it was INLA that carried out the operation.
The depths of the depravity at the higher levels never ceases to amaze me.
One wonder re: all those in power at all levels of authority aka initiation rites and continued membership.
It was Mountbottom who introduced Saville into Public Life in 1958.He knew Saville before he was famous.This was reported in the Mainstram media when the scandal broke.
Mountbatten was a cold blooded sadist his wife had nothing but insults from him in desperation she turned to Nehru who was very kind and loving to her.
When the german super battleship the Bismark was sunk it is an unspoken tradition of all sailors that any man in the water must be rescued, the germans always honoured this
but Churchill demanded the sailors must be left to drown, the british sailors were shouting and apologising as the British ships ploughed through the men in the water, old sailors i spoke to were very upset these men were not rescued
Muntbattne was laughing, and said bloody good job
he was a very sick man
Shame the explosion took innocent lives in the process.
Mountbatten was always known to be bisexual and a paedophile. There were drag parties and orgies in his quarters on board ship during WW2.
i met and had a long chat with the man who blew up mountbatten
it was not just the irish home that he preyed on but also boys at barnabus house and st marys
the lead singer with the pop group queen also had boys from here as did his freind who was with the Bee-Gees group and died of AIDS
The thing with mountbatten was that he was cruel with what he did at least Greville Janner sent the boys back with a bag of sweets
