New scandal within the British royal family? According to a survey by Sunday Timesrelayed on Saturday July 30, 2022, the Prince Charles reportedly accepted a £1million donation from Osama bin Laden’s family. The association of the father of princes William and Harry would have received this donation from Bakir and Shafiq Bin Laden – the terrorist’s half-brothers – after a meeting at Clarence House in London, Wednesday October 30, 2013. This alleged payment would have been made two years after the founder of al-Qaeda was killed in a raid by US special forces. A palace insider told the Sunday Times : “The fact that a member of the highest level of the British constitution chose to broker deals with a name and a family that not only caused alarm, but abject horror around the world… Why would you want to do this?“

This insider slipped: “I just didn’t think a member of the British royal family should be involved in this kind of business.“Another source recalled”a great fear“regarding the payment affecting the reputation of Elizabeth II’s eldest son and the charity. In a statement, a spokesperson for Clarence House said:”The Prince of Wales Charitable Fund has assured us that thorough due diligence has been undertaken to accept this donation. The decision to accept was made by the trustees of the foundation and only them, and any attempt to claim otherwise is misguided.Ian Cheshire, who chairs the foundation, said in a statement:The donation made by Sheik Bakr bin Laden in 2013 was carefully studied at the time by the association’s curators. Rigorous checks were carried out, with information coming from many sources, including some governmental ones. The decision to accept the donation was made solely by curators. Any other allegation is false.“

Prince Charles at the heart of the scandal

These allegations come shortly after the Sunday Times revealed that the Prince Charles has already accepted more than 3 million euros in cash donations from a former Prime Minister of Qatar, including one million euros in a suitcase. Clarence House then insisted that the money had been “forwarded immediately to one of the prince’s charities who complied with the appropriate covenants and assured us that all correct procedures were followed.“
