Prince Charles has slammed claims that he brokered a £1 million deal from the Bin Laden family for his charity

Reports in the United Kingdom’s Sunday Times claim that the Prince of Wales accepted a cash deal in 2013 from Osama Bin Laden’s half brothers, Bakr and Shafiq.

The report cited unnamed sources and suggested Prince Charles went against key advisers at the time.

Clarence House, the residence of Prince Charles, insists the decision was made by the charity’s trustees, not Prince Charles himself.

The statement reads “Thorough due diligence was undertaken in accepting this donation, any attempt to characterise otherwise is false.”

“The Prince of Wales’ Charitable Fund has assured us that thorough due diligence was undertaken in accepting this donation…The decision to accept was taken by the charity’s Trustees alone and any attempt to characterize it otherwise is false.”

Neither Bin Laden brothers, Bakr and Shafiq, have any known ties to any terrorist organisation like their brother Osama.

Osama was the leader of the network responsible for carrying out the September 11 attacks in New York, in 2001.
