Lord Mountbatten abused children at his Mullaghmore estate, a new book reports.

Fresh claims have been made that the British royal, who was killed by the IRA, was involved in an MI5-linked paedophile ring involving children trafficked from Kincora Boys’ Home.

The details are contained in a new book by Belfast based investigative journalist Chris Moore.

In ‘Kincora, Britain’s Shame’, Mr Moore presents fresh information about the sexual depravities carried out by a nest of paedophile predators with links to a host of organisations including the loyalist paramilitary groups, the Orange Order, MI5, MI6 and the British royal family,

The book alleges that Mountbatten was involved in the sexual abuse of five children.

Three of his alleged victims have spoken to Mr Moore about their horrific experience, including rape, alleged to have been carried out by Mountbatten at his former residence at Classiebawn at Mullaghmore in Co Sligo.

Two of the child victims were resident at the notorious Kincora Boys’ Home in east Belfast.

The claims were dismissed by a Historical Institution Abuse (HIA) Inquiry, which took place between 2014-2016.

Mountbatten, a former Royal Navy officer, was a great uncle of the current British monarch, King Charles with the pair said to be close.

Mountbatten and three other people were killed, including two children, by an IRA bomb that exploded on a boat at Mullaghmore in August 1979.

In the years since his death, allegations about his alleged sexual deviancy have been reported.

It has previously emerged that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) held files on the royal and include a report from American writer Elizabeth de la Poer Beresford.

Also known as Baroness Decies, who was close to former Queen Elizabeth and her grandmother Queen Mary, she told the FBI that in those circles Mountbatten and his wife, Edwina, were ‘considered persons of extremely low morals’.

She also told US authorities that Mountbatten ‘was known to be a homosexual with a perversion for young boys’.

In the past several witnesses have come forward to say they were sexually abused by Mountbatten at his Mullaghmore residence.

The new book suggests some victims were trafficked from Kincora to a hotel in Co Fermanagh before being collected by members of Mountbatten’s security team and taken on to Mullaghmore where they were abused.

One senior Kincora staff member is said to have taken pictures of naked boys which were then shown to potential “clients”.

In 2022 a former resident of Kincora Boys Home, Arthur Smyth, launched legal action over claims he was abused by Mountbatten.

Speaking to the Irish News, Mr Moore questioned the role of British intelligence agencies in the Mountbatten affair.

“If you were to look up the beginnings of the British secret services, it was in 1909, and one of their principle aims when they were established at that time was to protect the monarchy and the family of the monarch.”

And he asked: “Does that still apply today when they are looking at the royal family?

“Are the Mountbatten allegations of five boys, are they known to MI5 and are they protecting a member of the royal family?”
