UK police investigating Prince Charles charity
British police have launched an investigation into Prince Charles's charitable foundation over claims of a cash-for-honours scandal involving a Saudi businessman.
"The decision follows an assessment of a September 2021 letter. This related to media reporting alleging offers of help were made to secure honours and citizenship for a Saudi national," Scotland Yard said in a statement, delivering another blow to the royal family.
There have been no arrests or interviews under caution, police added.
The head of The Prince's Foundation resigned last year after an internal investigation into the allegations.
