The real question is what the Prime Minister was expecting in return.

"The Prince of Wales accepted a suitcase containing a million euros in cash from a former Qatari prime minister, the Sunday Times has reported.
The paper says this was one of three cash donations from Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim totalling three million euros.
Clarence House said donations from the sheikh were passed immediately to one of the prince's charities and all the correct processes were followed.
There is no suggestion the payments were illegal.
According to the Sunday Times, Prince Charles received the three cash donations in person from the former prime minister between 2011 and 2015.
It is claimed that on one occasion the money was handed over in a holdall at a meeting at Clarence House. On another, the paper reported the cash was contained in carrier bags from the department store Fortnum and Mason."

who cares - not me

You should .

It's your passive attitude that allows people like Andrew to think he can worm his way back into public life and all the undeserved deference and influence that he has already enjoyed

In fact, is it not more disappointing when people you’ve elected turn out to be equally self-serving? At least we are not surprised when royals do it because that’s what monarchs do

We can and do get shot of elected disappointments.

who cares - not me

What would it take to make you care?

Better than a gilt-edged one way ticket.
