Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba's charity backed by Princess Beatrice and David Beckham is under investigation after the Mail found less than 1 per cent of the cash it raised in the UK has gone to good causes.
Stars, royals and businessmen have donated more than £1.7 million to a foundation set up by the footballer.
