King Charles' team had responded to the Met Police's findings.

Former chief executive Michael Fawcett — who resigned — was at the center of a scandal after there were allegations of Fawcett promising to help billionaire Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz receive knighthood and British citizenship.

In 2016, Mahfouz got an honorary CBE, and it was reported that he made donations towards restoration projects aligned with His Majesty's interest.

His Majesty's The Prince's Foundation will return to business as usual.

Despite the severity of the accusation, His Majesty's team asserted his innocence, saying he had "no knowledge of the alleged offer of honors or British citizenship on the basis of donation to his charities.

As the case closed, a rep for the police department shared, "With the benefit of the CPS’s early investigative advice, and after careful consideration of the information received as a result of the investigation to date, the Met has concluded that no further action will be taken in this matter."

The Prince's Foundation helps create planet focused solutions.

The Prince's Foundation supported law enforcement's findings and will return to their core purpose.

"We have noted the decision of the Metropolitan Police Service," a spokesperson for the charity shared. "All other inquiries are a matter for the Prince’s Foundation."

"Following the conclusion of its own independent investigation and governance review last year, the charity is moving forward with a continued focus on delivering the education and training programs for which it has been established," the rep concluded.

The Prince's Foundation was created to carry out His Majesty's vision for the planet.

"The work of The Prince’s Foundation is inspired by The Prince of Wales's philosophy of harmony: that by understanding the balance, the order and the relationships between ourselves and the natural world we can create a more sustainable future," the site read.

"For more than 40 years His Royal Highness has been at the forefront of championing sustainability. During the last decade the impact of natural resource depletion, climate change and rapid urbanization has become evident and widely understood," the blurb continued.

Statements were published by The Express.
