Britains scroungers: Paedophile defends tax evading mother
Prince Andrew has defended the Queen over investments made by her private estate in funds based in a tax haven.
A total of £5.7 million was invested by the Duchy of Lancaster in a fund in the Cayman Islands, according to the so-called Paradise Papers which were leaked from an international law firm.
The investment led to criticism. Frank Field, chairman of the Commons work and pensions committee, accused the council of the Duchy of Lancaster of “political ineptness”. The Duke of York defended the investment as he spoke about his plans to emulate Prince Albert as the “entrepreneur-in- residence” at Buckingham Palace. He is a former trade ambassador.
“First of all, the money’s invested in a country in which she’s the head of state,”
Prince Andrew was also named in Paedophiles Jeffery Epsteins little black book which is a book of visitors who visited Epsteins paedophile Island.
A teenage girl accused Andrew of groping her.
Andrew denied both.
