The King and Princess's office, confirmed by Thura Kyaw, called the letters "forgeries."
Introduction
In response to recent allegations from the chief spokesperson at Buckingham Palace, AP News Agency reporter Deepa reached out regarding the authenticity of letters allegedly from King Charles and Princess Alexandra’s office. The letters, which purportedly confirmed the authentication of Buddha tooth relics through DNA and Carbon-14 testing, have been identified as "forgeries." Furthermore, it has been clarified that King Charles did not commission any such examination.
To address these claims, I conducted an interview with Mr. Thura Kyaw, a former senior member of HGT. Mr. Kyaw had been involved in providing the DNA and Carbon-14 testing data related to the relics. Given the controversy, Mr. Kyaw’s insights are critical in understanding the origin of the letters and the associated relics. Below is the interview transcript, shedding light on his role and perspective regarding these events.

Q7: I just heard from AP News Agency reporter Deepa reached out the chief spokesperson at Buckingham Palace that the letters addressed to Mr. Aung Bhone Pyae and yourself, reportedly from King Charles and Princess Alexandra's office, have been identified as "forgeries." What is your response?
Answer: Mr. Pyae Toe Aung, also known as Aung Bhone Pyae, once told me that he intended to create forged letters. In response, I advised him against it, emphasizing that in this digital age, such actions could easily be discovered through the internet. This was his reaction to my advice.
Q8: It has also been clarified that King Charles did not commission the authentication of your relics. What is your response to this?
Answer: When the individual family requested relics from me, they informed me that they intended to conduct a scientific examination. They asked for my permission, which I granted. However, I did not directly contact or travel to England myself.
Q9: Did you file any official objection regarding the two letters from Buckingham Palace, which were addressed to Mr. Aung Bhone Pyae and included your name as Mr. Thura Kyaw?
Answer: No, I did not file an official objection because I believed he was keeping the letters privately. However, unfortunately, he made a public announcement about them.
Q10: Even after seeing the interview on social media where Mr. Pyae Toe Aung was holding the two forged letters, which also mentioned your name, why did you not make any argument or objection?
Answer: I did not make any objection because the letters were not created by me. They were fabricated by Mr. Pyae Toe Aung, and he is the one responsible for them.
Q11: This entire interview is intended for use in research, a thesis, articles, or public information. Do you grant permission for it to be shared publicly?
Answer: Yes, I explicitly agree to allow the interview to be shared publicly.
