Prince Charles is not going to be investigated by the Charity Commission following his acceptance of £2.5million in cash donations that were ‘stuffed into a suitcase and carrier bags’
What a surprise!
The watchdog claims it has looked at the information and decided against intervening after allegations that Charles was given three million euros by the former Qatari Prime Minister, Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jaber Al Thani.

The Mail Online reports: The heir to the throne, 73, faced criticism after it was claimed he was presented with three donations of nearly £900,000 a time – said to be in 500 euro notes – that was stuffed in carrier bags and a holdall between 2011 and 2015.
While it is legal to both hand over and accept cash in the millions, concern about huge ready-money transactions has arisen in recent years.
They can be used to help launder ill-gotten gains, and potentially give enormous benefits to tax avoiders.
A royal source insisted last month that the future king operates on advice and such incidents have not happened in the past half decade and would not happen again.
A Charity Commission spokeswoman said on Wednesday: ‘We have assessed the information provided by the charity and have determined there is no further regulatory role for the Commission.’
Clarence House said the donations were ‘passed immediately’ to one of the prince’s charities and that ‘appropriate governance’ was carried out.
‘Charitable donations received from Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim were passed immediately to one of the prince’s charities who carried out the appropriate governance and have assured us that all the correct processes were followed,’ a statement said.

Hahaha Sure.
He is the son of the Monarch, of course he will not be prosecuted. That was a foregone conclusion.
Like his pedophile brother
I assume you are referring to Andrew. Even if he did boink the serial lying teen prostitute Virginia Roberts, she was pas the age of consent at the time. Pedophiles are after prepubescent children. You do understand that Roberts was not called to testify against Maxwell, because one of the “victims” claimed it was Roberts that recruited her.
And just what would he be prosecuted for? The Trusts are audited and required to pay taxes. What evidence is there that there was any wrongdoing? I’ll tell you – none. It is not illegal to bring large sums of cash into a country. but not declaring it is illegal. If the cash was brought in illegally, it wasn’t Charles that brought it in. This is a hit piece based on something that allegedly happened 12 years ago, that had no “legs” then. .
Laws for Thee, not for Me!
Why Cash? Do an electronic transfer instead, the usual way the Elites get their bribes and payoffs.
