WAS DAVID SOX’S
LETTER OF 1 JUNE 1996 FAKED?
David Sox ( 1936-2016) : A Guide at Highclere Castle in the 1990s, author of books on the Turin Shroud and on forgery and faking
Tony Leadbetter ( 1938-2019) : Godson of
Almina, 5th Countess of Carnarvon
A letter was
sent by David Sox to Tony Leadbetter on 1 June 1996. FACT
The letter claims that Sox made
a discovery in Highclere Archives ( quite by accident) that Prince Victor
Duleep Singh was the father of the Sixth Earl of Carnarvon. FACT
The letter is flawed, as
it contains historical errors about the name of Prince Victor’s own father.
FACT
Sox was questioned in 2014
about what he found in Highclere Archives he answered that he found
nothing. FACT
If Sox found nothing in
Highclere Archives did he lie in the letter of 1 June 1996 to Tony
Leadbetter?
It has been mooted by others
that when Sox was asked in 2014 to cite details of his source in Highclere
Archives, he'd forgotten ( or chose to forget) that he'd written a
letter to Tony Leadbetter in 1996.
Based on Sox’s underhand
methods of leaking and lying to suit his own ends on the carbon testing of the Turin Shroud his antics almost
answers the question and the trail researched raises a reasonable doubt about Sox's integrity and
truthfulness.
This Author was cautioned by a
contemporary of Sox’s who was involved in the Shroud history. The advice
was that nothing Sox claimed should be believed unless there is
independent proof of it or corroboration.
No one has ever verified that
Sox found anything in Highclere Archives on Porchey's father being Prince
Victor. FACT
Sox was told by several people
( who knew) that Porchey Carnarvon was believed to be the son of Prince
Victor Duleep Singh. FACT
It was a common belief on the
Highclere Estate that Porchey was Victor’s son. FACT
This Author has been told by a
number of credible informants that Prince Victor Duleep Singh was
the father of Porchey, later 6th Earl of Carnarvon
If Sox knew this
information about Victor before 1 June 1996 ( and received it from a
source elsewhere) it casts doubts on his letter to Tony Leadbetter as
being anything other than skulduggery and deception on Sox’s part.
By making a claim of the discovery of something in Highclere Archives, was Sox looking to hold a gun to the head of the Carnarvons?
Or, more likely, was this act a part of a cunning plan to shower himself in glory as he did when he leaked the carbon dating results and then went on to write a book ?
Did Sox tell anyone other than Tony Leadbetter of his discovery ?
Sox began his researches into
Almina, 5th Countess of Carnarvon in July 1995, ( supported evidence is held).
i.e. so a considerable time elapsed before his letter of 1 June
1996
