To her critics, she is the least hardworking member of the 王室の Family. But the few charities the Duchess of Cornwall does work for receive far more 王室の patronage than their 競争相手s.

Which is why Camilla will be 狼狽d to learn that one of her favourite organisations is embroiled in a bitter 合法的な 列／漕ぐ／騒動 over help for horses in war-torn Afghanistan.

The charity has, I gather, stopped 支払う／賃金ing money to its partner organisation, the 委員会 for Rehabilitation 援助（する） to Afghanistan, after receiving a 報告（する）／憶測 from its field officer, Oxford and Sandhurst-educated John Greany.

He was unhappy about how cash was 存在 spent and, on his advice, the Brooke stopped その上の 支払い（額）s.

Now the charity, which 供給するs 医療の 援助 to around 700,000 working horses throughout the 第三世界, is 存在 告訴するd for more than £100,000.

And the charity, which is planning さまざまな events with Camilla to celebrate its 75th 周年記念日 this year, is in a war of words over whether CRAA used the cash for 妥当でない 目的s.

'But we needed the 空気／公表する 反対／詐欺 to keep 薬／医学s for the animals and the TV 始める，決める was so that we could show ビデオs to guests about the work we are doing.'

'As junkets go, it's one of the more serious. Before the race, there was a formal 会合 between the British and the スイスの to discuss the very thing Duncan was called 支援する over - the 後退，不況.'
