The charity fund, which was founded by Prince Charles British, Prince Wales, received a donation from the family of Al-Qaeda leaders who were killed, Osama bin Laden in 2013, a British media report claimed on Sunday.
According to ‘The Sunday Times’, Prince Charles met with Al Qaeda Bakr’s stepbrother in London and allegedly agreed to accept GBP 1 million.
The report claims that some of the closest advisors to the senior royal urged the heir to Charles to the British throne to return the money. However, his Clarence House office denied that the kingdom was personally involved in the decision.
“Dana Amal Prince Wales (PWCF) has convinced us that the thorough thorough test was carried out in receiving this donation,” spokesman Clarence House told ‘Sky News’.
“The decision to accept is taken by the guardian of charity and all efforts to characterize it on the contrary is wrong,” said the spokesman.
Meanwhile, Dana Amal Prince Wales said the contribution from Sheik Bakr Bin Laden in 2013 was carefully considered by the PWCF trustees at that time.
The complete test was carried out, with information sought from various sources, including the government. The decision to receive donations was taken entirely by the guardian. Every effort to suggest the opposite is misleading and inaccurate, “said PWCF.
Osama bin Laden is the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 terror attack, which killed nearly 3,000 people in the US. ‘The Sunday Times’ claims in his report that Charles’s meeting with Bakr, a rich Patriarch of Saudi families, occurred two years after Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces in Pakistan.
Dana Amal Prince Wales was founded in 1979 and a grant award to non-profit organizations listed in the UK for projects in the UK, the Commonwealth and other countries.
