Prince had meeting at Clarence House — and seven-figure donation from Saudis followed
By Gabriel Pogrund and Charles Keidan | 30 July 2022
THE TIMES — The Prince of Wales accepted a £1 million payment from the family of Osama bin Laden, The Sunday Times can reveal.
Prince Charles secured the money from Bakr bin Laden, the patriarch of the wealthy Saudi family, and his brother Shafiq. Both men are half-brothers of Osama bin Laden, the founder of al-Qaeda who masterminded the September 11 attacks.
Charles, 73, had a meeting with Bakr, 76, at Clarence House in London on October 30, 2013, two years after Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces in Pakistan.
The future king agreed to the money despite the initial objections of advisers at Clarence House and the Prince of Wales Charitable Fund (PWCF), where the offering was donated.
According to sources, several of Charles’s advisers, including at least one trustee, pleaded with him in person to return the money.
One of his household staff said it would cause national outrage if the news leaked to the media. They told the prince that “it would not be good for anybody” if it emerged that he had accepted money from the family of the perpetrator of the worst terrorist attack in history. […]
Charles may be the next King, but currently his title is Privileged Parasite.
Two problems with the Times article:
1) Osama Bin Laden did NOT mastermind the September 11 attacks. Christopher Bollyn’s site has the details of the Sept. 11 attacks.
2) Osama Bin Laden died of natural causes in December 2001.
Your observations are entirely correct. Our interest in running this were the financial connections.
