Showing Original Post only (View all)Why I hate royalty -Prince Charles 'accepted a suitcase with 1m euros', report claims [View all]
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-61941113The Prince of Wales accepted a suitcase containing a million euros in cash from a former Qatari prime minister, the Sunday Times has reported.
The paper says this was one of three cash donations from Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim totalling three million euros.
Clarence House said donations from the sheikh were passed immediately to one of the prince's charities and all the correct processes were followed.
There is no suggestion the payments were illegal.
According to the Sunday Times, Prince Charles received the three cash donations in person from the former prime minister between 2011 and 2015.

I'm surprised at the number of people here on DU who wet themselves over Royalty news.

I like Prince Charles, but this seems very, very strange. Why would he accept that?
