Prince Harry speaks out as Prince Charles' cash-for-honours scandal grows
report revealing Prince Harry met privately with the Saudi tycoon who donated to his charity, the Duke of Sussex has released a statement saying he"severed ties" with the billionaire after"growing concerns" about his"motives".
"It is disappointing that The Sunday Times, knowing all the facts, has chosen to encourage speculation by being deliberately vague to try to create a falsified link between The Duke of Sussex and the CBE scandal, of which he had no knowledge or involvement," the statement reads. "The Duke and his advisors, as well as his nonprofit Sentebale, severed ties with Mr Mahfouz and his associates in 2015, no longer accepting further donations to Sentebale and discontinuing any plans for a fundraising event amid growing concerns over the motives for his support.
"The Duke had one planned meeting with this donor nearly eight years ago, did not introduce him to any members of the Royal Family, and expressed his concerns about the donor."Full statement here in which Harry spokesperson also criticised our reporting. NB: Emails show Mahfouz-Harry relationship helped pave the way for Mahfouz's introduction to Charles.
