Q Research General #21243: NEW MONTH, NEW WEEK, FRESH PANIC EDITION
Prince Charles took Bin Laden family's money - media
The donation was made after Charles met with two of the terrorist mastermind's relatives in London
Britain's Prince Charles "personally secured" a donation of ?1 million ($1.2 million) to his charity from the family of Osama bin Laden in 2013, The Times reported on Sunday. The Prince of Wales has only recently been scrutinized for taking "bags of cash" from the Qatari royal family.
Charles "brokered the payment" after a private meeting with Bakr and Shafiq bin Laden at his London residence of Clarence House in October 2013, the paper's sources claimed. Bakr and Shafiq are half-brothers of Osama Bin Laden, the Al-Qaeda leader and 9/11 mastermind who was shot dead by US special forces in Pakistan two years before the meeting.
According to the Times, Charles agreed to the donation despite objections from his staff and the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation (PWCF). Charles reportedly opted not to return the money, as to do so would embarrass the brothers.
However, PWCF Chairman Sir Ian Cheshire told the newspaper that all five of the charity's trustees "wholly" agreed to accept the donation after listening to concerns. Another source told The GuardIan that the prince was not urged to return the money, and disputed suggestions that he had personally brokered the deal.
There is no suggestion that Bakr or Shafiq bin Laden have ever financed or been involved in terrorism, The Times pointed out.
The UK Charity Commission dropped an investigation last week into multi-million-pound donations made by the Qatari royal family to the PWCF. British media reported last month that Charles had received shopping bags full of cash totaling over ?2.5 million ($3.07 million) during meetings with Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al Thani between 2011 and 2015. Al Thani served as Qatar's prime minister between 2007 and 2013.
The Prince of Wales is no stranger to controversy, and his relationship with the Bin Laden family has been questioned before. After being introduced to Bakr at the Oxford Centre of Islamic Studies in 2000, Charles drew condemnation from the British press when he dined with Osama's brother the following October, less than a month after the 9/11 attacks.

Q Research General #20958: once more? US AND NATO WAR GAMES
Prince Charles Will No Longer Take Bags Of Cash From Gulf Sheikhs
Hamad bin Jassim said his government "maybe" funded the al Qaeda spin-off al Nusra Front in Syria.
Prince Charles years ago stopped accepting bags full of cash from Gulf royalty and won't do it again, a senior royal source told BBC on Wednesday.
The odd assurance follows an explosive report by The Times of London that the former prime minister of Qatar gave Charles suitcases and shopping bags filled with cash on three occasions between 2011 and 2015.
The money came from billionaire Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, whose term as Qatar's prime minister-2007 to 2013-partially overlapped with the time in which the gifts were made.
In 2017, Hamad bin Jassim said his government "maybe" funded the al Qaeda spin-off al Nusra Front in Syria. British media have called him "the man who bought London," as he owns or has a stake in many of the city's most prestigious addresses and businesses.
The senior royal source said the sheikh's gift to the Prince of Wales "was passed immediately to his charity and it was his charity who decided to accept" the stacks of cash said to be worth over $3 million. The transfers took place in private meetings at Clarence House, the prince's official residence. The money was variously handed over in a suitcase, duffel bag or shopping bags from upscale London department store Fortnum & Mason.
"Everyone felt very uncomfortable about the situation," a former advisor to Charles told The Times. "[The] only thing we could do was to count the money and make a mutual record of what we'd done. And then call the bank."
The chairman of the Prince of Wales Charitable Fund, Sir Ian Cheshire, told BBC that today's money laundering regulations further make it unlikely that such a cash donation would be accepted again.
As the New York Post reports, the assurance that the money promptly went to the prince's charity was insufficient to prevent concerned ripples throughout the UK:
The revelation fueled talk of a "cash-for-access culture" surrounding Prince Charles - coming just months after his longtime aide, Michael Fawcett, was bounced from the charity amid allegations he used his position to help a Saudi billionaire receive a "golden visa" and high royal honors.
In that episode, wealthy Saudi Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz paid tens of thousands of dollars to receive a visa that could enable him to achieve UK citizenship, and to be granted an honorary title that has a bit of an 80's Keanu Reeves ring to it: Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
