Prince Andrew faces police scrutiny after being reported for using the alias ‘Andrew Inverness’ in financial dealings
London: So, it looks like Prince Andrew is in hot water again. The anti-monarchy group Republic has reported him to the Metropolitan Police. They’re not too happy about him using the name “Andrew Inverness” for his business stuff.
Apparently, this name is tied to some of his financial dealings, and they think he might have filed some false info with Companies House. It’s a bit of a mess, really.
Andrew got those titles from his mom, Queen Elizabeth II, back when he got married in 1986. But now, he’s under the microscope again, especially after some shady links to an alleged Chinese spy came to light.
Six years ago, it was revealed that he set up several companies using that pseudonym. Critics are saying he’s just trying to keep a low profile, which isn’t a great look.
Graham Smith, the head of Republic, said the royals seem to think they can do whatever they want without consequences. He’s pushing for the police to take this seriously, especially since it involves a high-profile figure like Andrew.
He mentioned that filing false information might seem minor, but it’s a big deal in the UK, where fraud is a serious issue. The police have said they’re looking into it, but no investigation is underway just yet.
Andrew skipped the royal family’s Christmas gathering this year after it came out that he was close to the alleged spy, who’s now banned from the UK. It’s all a bit scandalous, isn’t it?
As for the company Naples Gold, it was set up in 2002 and dissolved in 2021. Andrew and a sports tycoon were directors, but now it’s all just adding to the drama surrounding him.
His team hasn’t commented yet, but you can bet everyone’s watching this closely.
