What does he say to his mother if she asks if the accusations are true? Saying they are true he is making the Queen complicit. Saying they are not he is lying to his mother, the bastion of public service. Fall on your sword, Sir.

Good point about the predicament that he would be putting her in should she ask!

I suspect she is smart enough not to ask.

He says it went to beneficial foundations. There's been critique of those foundations not being transparent and having unclear purposes, being intertwined with his own finances and lifestyle, etc.

I understand that. What I don't understand is what the Qataris expected to gain from it. There are loads more people in politics and other professions with much more influence on decision making and popular opinion.

My impression is that whenever HRH says something about a public issue, he's either laughed at or told he's a bore who needs to stay in his lane.

Actually, why is it that only the British Royal Family attracts such publicity?

When was the last time you guys heard of a sex / money scandal of such scale involving any of the other "royal" European families?
