A source close to Prince Charles told several outlets Wednesday the future king wouldn't accept suitcases filled with money for his charity anymore after it was revealed he received several bags of cash donations from the former prime minister of the country.
There will be a memorial for the victims of the 1994 genocide in the country.
Similar situations have not happened in more than a decade, according to a senior palace aide.
The heir to the throne operates on advice and changes over the years, according to a source.
The money was immediately given to the Prince of Wales's charity, the source said.
The aide said that the two are not the same.
According to the Sunday Times of London, Charles and his advisors accepted 3 million euro, or over $3.1 million, in cash. The donations were delivered in a suitcase, a holdall bag and a bag from the store. Clarence House, Charles' office, said all the correct processes were followed after the Sunday Times did not accuse them of doing anything illegal. The U.K.'s Charity Commission said it would review the situation to see if an investigation is needed, though there are no rules against accepting cash donations. The Prince's Foundation is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police, who said in February that they were looking into allegations of a cash-for-honors scheme.
