Turning tricks
HRH Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, accepted wads of cash totalling €3M, handed to him in suitcases and shopping bags, as charitable donations from Qatar's prime minister between 2011 and 2015. According to his spokesperson, all donations were passed immediately to one of the prince's charities and all the correct processes were followed.
Except they weren't, were they?
Is it a correct process
for a member of the Royal Family to accept large amounts of cash? I was under the impression that they never carried any on their person.
Surely it couldn't be to obfuscate the identity of the donor, so that any reciprocal royal favours would seem all above board? Oh Charlie, I don't think mummy would approve. (SMH)
[cough] Look for Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim in the honours
lists. (wink)
