The former financial director at the Foundation for Integrated Health, a charity founded by the Prince of Wales, has been convicted of theft, fraud and money-laundering and jailed for three years.

George Gray, 50, who was paid £80,000 per annum admitted stealing £250,000 over two and a half years from the charity, which was set up by the Prince in 1993 to champion the use of complementary therapies, and which has now closed.
