scrooge is the only thing I can think of that fits, not necessarily right though!

Many thanks cupid04. That is all I can think of, but can't work it out. Don't know if you did this puzzle but many people have noted its difficulty this week. Don't mind a challenge but do expect a reasonable chance of solving.

Scrooge is correct but obscure word play. We have SO (thus, the truth) about CR (Carolus Rex - Charles I) plus EGO (I) reversed.

Should have added for completeness that a person who is near is a miser or Scrooge.

Many, many thanks mike1111. Brilliant explanation. A bit beyond me; despite doing this Jumbo for well over 20 years. I always like to know the correlation between clue and answer. Sadly lacking in many instances on this occasion!!!!
