Prince Andrew faces police scrutiny after claims he used a false name and address in business filings
London: So, it turns out Prince Andrew is in a bit of hot water. Republic CEO Graham Smith has reported him to the police. Apparently, he used a fake name, Andrew Inverness, and listed a London address that isn’t even his.
This name seems to be a nod to his title, the Earl of Inverness. The whole thing goes back to some business documents from 2002 related to a company called Naples Gold Ltd.
Now, this company was supposedly set up to help with a charitable project aimed at conserving rainforests, but that plan fell through in 2003. It’s a bit odd that they’re still filing documents, right?
The name Andrew Inverness has popped up in the news before, especially with all the drama surrounding his ties to an alleged Chinese spy. Using false info when registering with Companies House is a no-no, and it’s got people talking.
Republic has been pretty vocal about the Met Police not acting on serious allegations against royals, including Andrew, who’s facing some serious accusations himself.
Smith didn’t hold back, saying the royals seem to think they can do whatever they want without consequences. He pointed out that filing false info might seem minor, but it’s a big deal in the UK, where fraud is a serious issue.
He believes that someone like Andrew should be held to the highest standards. The police need to take this seriously, especially since it involves a high-profile figure.
The report to the Met Police states that Andrew allegedly filed false information with Companies House. It’s unclear what his motives were, but it’s definitely something the police should look into.
