The Prince of Wales accepting bags of cash for his charity "would not happen again", a senior palace source has said.

It's the first time that one of Prince Charles's senior aides has responded in detail to the reports that emerged at the weekend, that between 2011 and 2015 the prince was handed €3m in cash stuffed into bags by a Qatari sheikh for his charitable foundation.

Speaking about the allegations in The Sunday Times, the aide said: "As we said over the weekend, it was passed immediately to his charities, and it was his charities who decided to accept the money".
