OTTAWA — Prince Charles has made what is being described as a substantial donation to the families of the two Canadian soldiers killed recently in separate attacks.

Clarence House confirmed a donation was made to the True Patriot Love Foundation, which is managing the flood of money coming in for the soldiers through the Stand on Guard Fund.

The Prince of Wales’ Charitable Foundation isn’t revealing the amount of the donation made specifically for the soldiers, but a source close to the matter called it substantial.

The Stand on Guard Fund was created by a group of Conservative friends in the wake of last Wednesday’s fatal shooting of reservist Cpl. Nathan Cirillo in front of the National War Memorial in Ottawa.

All the donations will be divided equally between Cirillo’s family and that of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was struck by an assailant’s car two weeks ago.
