Prince Charles will NOT be probed over £1m donation from Bin ... (Daily Mail)

Prince Charles's charitable fund will not be investigated by a watchdog for accepting £1million from the family of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.

According to the Sunday Times, which has revealed the £1million gift from two half-brothers of Osama bin Laden in 2013, one of his own household told him that his acceptance of it would cause national outrage if the news leaked to the media. We look to our next King to provide an example of good sense — to be impeccable in his behaviour, just as his mother, the Queen, has been throughout her long reign. So why take £1 million from the Bin Laden family? Last year, it was claimed that Michael Fawcett, his closest confidant, offered to help a Saudi billionaire obtain a knighthood in exchange for generous donations to the Prince's Foundation, of which Fawcett was chief executive. It makes little or no difference that the Bin Laden family long ago disowned its homicidal offspring. Charles was reportedly introduced to Bakr bin Laden by Saudi royal Prince Khalid bin Faisal Al-Saud in June 2001. Charles was reportedly introduced to Bakr bin Laden by Saudi royal Prince Khalid bin Faisal Al-Saud in June 2001. He simply has appalling judgment in such matters, combined with a kind of pig-headed arrogance. You seem to be going out of your way to bring discredit on the monarchy. A spokesman for Clarence House said: 'The PWCF has assured us that thorough due diligence was undertaken. There is no suggestion that Bakr bin Laden, 76, had any involvement in terrorism. Any attempt to suggest otherwise is misleading and inaccurate.'
