Charles Faces Row On Bin Laden Cash

Charity watchdogs are facing fresh demands to probe Prince Charles's charity after it was claimed he accepted £1million from Osama bin Laden's family.

Charles, 73, allegedly received the money from Bakr and Shafiq bin Laden, half-brothers of the terrorist mastermind behind 9/11.

Reports claim he brokered the deal after a private meeting at Clarence House with Bakr, 76, on October 30, 2013, two years after US special forces killed Bin Laden, 54, in Pakistan.

Royal sources have denied Charles was involved in organising the cash or that he accepted the money despite advisers' objections.

It comes weeks after it was revealed Charles had accepted one million euros in cash stuffed in a Fortnum & Mason bag from the ex-Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani an allegation the Charity Commission refused to investigate.
