Charity Commission opens compliance case into donor to the Prince’s Trust

Move to examine the Barrowman Foundation comes amid mounting scrutiny of Charles's charity

The Charity Commission has opened a compliance case into one of the key donors to Prince Charles's charity after it emerged it had been funded by unsecured loans.

The Barrowman Foundation, a platinum donor to the Prince's Trust, has not recorded any donations in its published accounts since it was set up and is funded by borrowings from its founder, the businessman Doug Barrowman.
