this transfer from Bin Laden’s family does not pass

A new scandal which splashes the British crown. According to information from Sunday Timespublished on Saturday July 30, Prince Charles reportedly accepted £1m donationwhich represents approximately 1.2 million euros, from two family members of Osama Bin Laden. The heir to the throne would, according to the British weekly, have received this colossal sum from Bakr and Shafiq Ben Laden, who are the half-brothers of the founder of Al Qaeda and mastermind of the attacks perpetrated on September 11, 2001 in the USA. According to the survey of Sunday Timesrelayed by many British media such as The Guardianthe Prince of Wales would have had a private meeting with Bakr bin Laden at Clarence House, the residence of the son of Elizabeth II and his wife Camilla Parker Bowles in London, October 30, 2013, two years after Osama bin Laden was shot dead by US special forces in Pakistan .

A “carefully studied” donation

The donation was made to the Prince Charles Foundation, “The Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund” (PCWF). But according to Clarence House, the decision to accept the money did not come from the father of Princes Harry and William, but only from the administrators of the charity organization. According to Ian Cheshire, who presides over the foundation of the future King of England, “the donation made by Sheik Bakr Bin Laden in 2013 was carefully studied at the time by the association’s curators”. “Demanding checks were carried out, with information coming from many sources, including some government ones”added the official.

Yet, according to the Sunday Timesthe 73-year-old prince would indeed have accepted himself the donation from bin Laden’s family, despite the objections of his advisers. The latter would indeed have warned him of the consequences on his reputation if it were to come to light. Even if there is no element linking Bakr and Shafiq Bin Laden, who have the same father as Osama Bin Laden, to terrorist acts.

Prince Charles embroiled in another scandal

But here too, the Crown wants to deny any allegations, and a royal official has denied reports that Prince Charles accepted the gift personally, brokered the deal or even was advised to return the money. Be that as it may, scandals are piling up around Prince Charles. Indeed, on June 25, the Sunday Times reported that he had received, in 2015, three million euros in cash from the ex-Prime Minister of Qatar, a country frequently accused of not respecting human rights. The money would even have been given in the form of large denominations in luxury suitcases… What embarrass the royalty a little more.
