It looks like Prince Charles is in serious trouble. The fact is that recently the tabloids wrote that the charity of a member of the royal family accepted money from dubious personalities. So, the day before, The Times reported that the organization received 1 million pounds (about 75 billion rubles) from a relative of * Osama bin Laden, the ex-leader of the terrorist organization Al Qaeda.
The source says the prince met personally with Bakr bin Laden, the businessman who heads the major construction conglomerate Binladin, at his London residence, Clarence House, in 2013. Prince Charles’ advisers insisted he reject donations from his half-brother Osama bin Laden, but Queen Elizabeth II. It was noted that Elizabeth did not follow the advice of her eldest son.
Some employees believed this collaboration could negatively impact the royal family’s reputation, but Prince Charles thought otherwise: he thought returning the funds to Bakr bin Laden would be an embarrassing step.
Prince Charles Charity Foundation chairman Ian Cheshire said the approval to receive donations from the Bin Laden family was fully endorsed by many, including financier Amelia Fawcett, former chairman of the board of IT telecommunications company Michael Reik. John Varley, former chairman of Barclays bank, and personal chief secretary to William Nye, heir to the throne. At the same time, according to the publication, during the discussion of this issue, Varley publicly expressed his concern at his willingness to accept charitable contributions from Bakr bin Laden.
