Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, received 1 million euros (R$ 5.51 million), in a purse, from the sheikh of Qatar bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, in addition to other donations made to charities linked to him.
The information was published this Sunday (26) by the British newspaper The Sunday Timeswho pointed out that Charles received, between 2011 and 2015, through the organizations, 3 million euros (R$ 16.5 million) from Al Thani, who was Prime Minister of Qatar between 2007 and 2013, and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of 1992 to 2013.
A Crown spokesperson told the newspaper that the money “was immediately passed on” to one of Elizabeth II’s son’s charitable organizations. the correct processes”.
The newspaper points out that Charles’ meetings with the Qatari sheikh do not appear on the royal agenda. O Sunday Times mentions that real rules establish that family members can accept checks on behalf of charitable organizations, but there is no mention of cash.
The newspaper says there is no indication that illegality has taken place, but points out that the cash donations will increase doubts about the management of charitable organizations by Charles, who took on more functions due to Elizabeth II’s advanced age.
British police have been investigating allegations since February that the prince’s closest aide, Michael Fawcett, promised a Saudi millionaire titles of nobility and citizenship in exchange for donations, something the heir says he was unaware of.
