Description

Lisa Hampele reports on the avalanche in Klosters, which killed Major Hugh Lindsay and nearly took the life of Prince Charles. Charles Palmer-Tomkinson, whose wife Patti was badly injured, says the Swiss ski guide Bruno Sprecher should not be made a scapegoat. Speaking exclusively to LBC, he said he’s angry that the Swiss press have criticised the guide for allowing the royal party to ski off the piste when the danger of avalanches was obvious.
