From The Daily Mail:
Prince Charles has used charities he set up to lobby Ministers to get them to change their policies, it was revealed today...
Documents reveal the Prince's charity Business in the Community asked Vince Cable to reverse his decision to get rid of the Northwest Regional Development Agency. The quango has funded Business in the Community's work with disadvantaged secondary schools.
Grant Shapps, the Local Government Minister, received a letter from the Prince's Regeneration Trust calling for a cut in VAT on restoring historic buildings... Just three months later the department awarded the group an £800,000 grant. They deny that the two were linked.

The first bit of lobbying is bizarre. Where did Charlie boy think the money was coming from in the first place? I smell corruption.
"They deny that the two were linked"
I'd believe them. Co-incidence is not causality (and it's not even much of a coincidence, at that).
The heir to the government of Britain getting on the bandwagon of government funding people to lobby for more government. Who would have expected that?
They deny that the two were linked.
Oh those words. Could apply to anything - cultural marxism and today for example.
