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.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
