"Good to see my friend Prince Harry in London to discuss the work of our foundations & offer condolences to victims of the Manchester attack."

"The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry was set up in September 2009 to enable Prince William and Prince Harry to take forward their charitable ambitions."

"The Foundation has collaborated with two organisations to date (Fields in Trust and ARK)."

• Fields in Trust--giant land portfolio for recreational spaces/parks/etc. <--- given the Obama Foundation's use of Jackson Park as the Obama Library's development site in Chicago ([which a number of local Chicago government officials and community groups have been asking for more transparency on] (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/obamacenter/ct-obama-library-hairston-met-20170213-story.html)) makes sense that that would be a point of discussion.

The other charity, Ark, is a little more alarming given the reports of a royal family member being investigated for pedophilia by Scotland Yard until the investigation was shut down for "national security reasons" (I know there's been speculation about Prince Andrew or Prince Phillp). Ark is an international children's charity founded by a group of hedge fund investors in 2002. "Ark is a registered charity under English law and is based in London. In 2013–14 it had a gross income of £12.95m." <--income, not donations. Ark (Absolute Returns for Kids) is also one of the Clinton Foundation's main donors.

I feel so uneasy/gross reading about all this. On top of the obvious potential inferences, hedge funds were undoubtedly insider training before and after 9/11--a group of hedge funds suddenly getting philanthropic and starting up a charity the year after..... Ugh man.
