The Prince of Wales’s obsession with architecture has been blamed for a special needs children’s charity losing a ?2million donation.
His Duchy of Cornwall estate held up plans for a new care centre because it did not want a ‘budget’ design on its land

Prince Charles’s obsession with architecture cost us a £2m donation, says children’s charity | Mail Online

Prince Charles is fighting to stop a controversial modern development in London designed by the architect he famously clashed with 25 years ago.
Lord Rogers has come up with a scheme for 320 luxury apartments on the site of Chelsea Barracks in London. But the Prince says the plan is unsuitable and unsympathetic to the historic surroundings.

The plans in the Mail picture would look awful, IMO, Chelsea Barracks is beautiful, old buildings, lovely gardens. To stick something like this up would be an outrage!
