PanARMENIAN.Net - The Prince of Wales has fought a series of battles over the “monstrous carbuncles” that he sees as ruining the urban landscape. Happily, there is one property developer with whom he has found common cause, The Telegraph reports.

Bob Manoukian, who was involved in a multi-million-pound legal battle with Prince Jefri of Brunei, the younger brother of the sultan, is behind a new outdoor center at Dumfries House, the Scottish property rescued for the nation by Prince Charles.

The Manoukian Foundation, which is run by the Armenian-born Bob and his wife, Tamar, has paid for the Tamar Manoukian Outdoor Center, which Charles is due to visit with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge this week.

The center will provide accommodation and team activities for young people and will also be open to schools across Scotland.
