Prince Charles personally accepted suitcases and shopping bags stuffed with millions of dollars’ worth of cash from a controversial Qatari politician between 2011 and 2015, according to an explosive new report.
“Everyone felt very uncomfortable about the situation,” a former adviser to the Prince of Wales told the Sunday Times of London.
The “only thing we could do was to count the money and make a mutual record of what we’d done,” the source said. “And then call the bank.”
Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, the former prime minister of Qatar, bestowed the big bucks on the heir to the British throne in three deliveries during private, off-the-books meetings at Clarence House, the prince’s official London residence.
He came toting stacks of bills totaling 3 million euros — about $3.2 million at today’s exchange rates — in duffel bags, a suitcase, and several branded shopping bags from the famed Fortnum & Mason department store.
The payments were deposited into the Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund (PWCF), a grant-making entity that quietly bankrolls the prince’s pet projects — and pays the bills at his Scottish country estate.

No wonder the clown shoe sized CO2 Footprint of Charles is a friend of Islam.
This explains why he is such a big Global Warming freak.
Interesting development. He uses his charity to fund private costs
Andrew must love this news item
So will the scandal cause parliament to reject him as King...probably not
“only thing we could do was to count the money and make a mutual record of what we’d done,” the source said. “And then call the bank.”
First world oligarch problems...
;-)
Where did you ever get that idea? Oh, wait. Never mind.
So he wasn’t so much pro-islam on a ridiculous and embarassing way for the future king of Anglicanism, he is just more...using british speak...”favorable to the green”.
I think I just sounded ridiculous and embarassing!
I wonder if the BRITs will take this opportunity to lecture Americans about corruption.
dM says the royal family policy is to never accept cash for charity..it must be a cheque.
This is probably an edict by the Queen that Charles just ignored
Wonder if Harry and Megain are ecstatic at this report.. wonder how their charity operates?
So the son of the ruler accepts big bags of cash from foreigners interested in buying favors. It must be awful to live in a banana Republic like that.
He learned from the expert
These global elites are completely above the law. But what a sad fate that awaits them on Judgment Day.
So? Neither of them had any power. This was just 2 rich guys doing rich guy stuff. Whatever.
Amber Heard can’t wait for Prince Harry’s divorce. It will make her look like an angel
The royal family, one of the richest in the world, is famous for being tight with money. In 1992, which Queen Elizabeth called her “Annus Horribilus”, part of the angst was reportedly due to the fact that she was made to pay income tax for the first time, just like all the yokels in her country.
He took the money for himself, or as a bag man for his Mum?
He learned from the expert
No. She learned from the experts. The UK Royals have been up to such shenanigans for centuries.
“Wonder if Harry and Megain are ecstatic at this report.. “
Is this even true or some crap concocted by Harry and Meghan’s PR team?
“Bags of money.” In this day and age, why not a digital bank transfer? (serious question)
