The chairman of the Conservative party, who is also the nephew of the Duchess of Cornwall, profited from giving his concierge company's wealthy clients access to Prince Charles, it has been alleged.
Ben Elliot, 45, introduced super-rich clients from his company Quintessentially to the Prince of Wales after they paid his company tens of thousands of pounds in what has been branded 'access capitalism'.
Telecoms millionaire Mohamed Amersi, 61, paid £15,000 a year to be an elite member of the luxury concierge business for several years before they organised for him to meet Prince Charles over an intimate dinner in Dumfries House.
After the introduction facilitated by Elliot, Amersi became a trustee of one of the prince's charities and has since donated more than £1.2million.
Leaked emails seen by The Sunday Times show Elliot responded to the news of Amersi's first donation by saying: 'Well done'.

The revelations were made by Amersi himself who is already involved in a row with former Tory MPs Sir Nicholas Soames and Charlotte Leslie over the party's Middle East outreach group.
He admitted he would never have had the chance to meet Prince Charles without paying for the access.
His claims are supported by documents and another whistleblower, raising questions about Elliot's conduct while being so close to the Royal Family.
Amersi said: 'Unless you have somebody like him who opens these doors for you, it's not possible, it's not so easy.'
He added: 'I call it access capitalism... You get access, you get invitations, you get privileged relationships if you are part of the set-up, and where you are financially making a contribution to be a part of that set up. Absolutely.'
The top businessman also spoke to the MailOnline, saying: 'Mr Elliot was instrumental in helping us reach various levels of the establishment including galleries, government and royals
