Royal Family News: Prince Harry Threw Charles Under the Bus With A Leaked Letter

British royal family news shows that Prince Harry’s alleged decision to go no contact with a controversial political leader is drawing questions about his father’s ties to the billionaire. Prince Charles is now being scrutinized for clues as to what he knew and when about a so-called pay to play scheme with Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz.

According to Newsweek, Harry was offered a £1 million ($1.36 million) donation in 2014, “when it apparently started to appear as though the tycoon wanted an in-person visit in Saudi Arabia in return for the money.”

According to the outlet, Harry’s aide Mark Dyer, “swiftly applied the brakes warning of ‘cash for access’ concerns only to be told Prince Charles had suggested the trip, The Sunday Times reported, citing leaked emails. However, a palace source said Prince Charles did not encourage Harry to visit Saudi Arabia.” So what we have here is a case of ‘he said, he said?’

As the outlet notes, and it is not alone in doing so, “The report is significant because Prince Harry went on to sever links with Mahfouz while Prince Charles pursued the relationship.”

Did Prince Harry Act Wisely?

There is now an ongoing investigation into, “whether the chief executive of Charles’ charity, The Prince’s Foundation, may have broken the law by offering help securing a knighthood and U.K. citizenship to the tycoon in return for donations.”

According to The Sunday Times, Mark Dyer, who is described as a former royal equerry and trustee at Harry’s charity Sentebale, questioned a representative of Mahfouz expressing his concerns about the alleged request on May 31, 2014.

The Sunday Times published the letter which read in part: “Are we really saying that if PH [Prince Harry] commits to a trip to Saudi, Sentebale will receive the donation?”

“If that is the case I need to now brief the board as the accounts have all been revised and signed off on the back of receiving £1m donation.” How ironic—Harry leaked a letter to the media and it benefited him. How unlike his attack dog modus operandi of going after the media for printing words he disagrees with.

The letter Harry leaked goes on: “I am seeing PH today at Windsor; I will brief him on the situation and see if he now wants to commit to a trip, but this certainly was not our understanding . . . it is starting to bring into question ‘cash-for-access.'”
