The heir to the throne, who has insisted he did nothing wrong, was given the cash in three bundles, including one stash of notes said to have been handed over in a suitcase.
Another tranche was said to have been given to the Prince in carrier bags from department store Fortnum & Mason.
The donations were handed over by Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, a businessmen with a £2billion fortune who served as Qatar’s prime minister between 2007 and 2013.
Clarence House has been unable to explain why the donations, worth around £860,000 each, were made in cash between 2011 and 2015, and what Sheikh Hamad hoped to gain from making them.
But it insisted they were “passed immediately” to one of Charles’s charities, the Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund, and that it carried out due diligence. Although there is no suggestion the payments were illegal, critics said Charles has risked undermining trust in the monarchy.
His charity The Prince’s Foundation is currently facing a police investigation into allegations that it fixed an honour for a Saudi billionaire in return for donations.
Charles was also accused of risking destroying the Queen’s legacy over claims he operates a cash-for-access policy when dealing with wealthy donors to his charities.
