New capital to the seedy machinations of Prince Andrew. He started a finance company with a questionable banker.
Prince Andrew (61) is again in the crossfire of criticism. As the British media unanimously report, the Queen’s son founded a company together with the controversial banker Harry Keogh. Keogh resigned from his head post at Queen Elizabeth II’s private bank, Coutts & Co., in March 2018 on allegations of sexual harassment. It was said at the time that he groped young, female employees inappropriately, made suggestive remarks and was also a heavy drinker.
The Duke of York has been a close confidante of Keogh for many years. The top manager was also present at the wedding of Andrew’s daughter Princess Eugenie (31) in October 2018. The company called Lincelles, which was founded back in June 2020, is supposed to steer and manage investments of Prince Andrew, writes the British Times. In a statement by a spokesman for the prince, it is said that the company is a means of “asset management”.
Keogh and Andrew are involved in these scandals
Keogh was not released or fired in 2018, but only received a written warning. In addition, a bonus was withheld. A little later, however, he resigned himself after massive public opposition spread. Prince Andrew, on the other hand, is heavily involved in the scandal surrounding the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (1953-2019), who died in a New York prison.
As research by the British media revealed, the Queen’s son is said to have attended a party at Epstein’s in April 2001. Virginia Roberts Giuffre (37) also claims to have been forced to have sex with the Royal when she was a minor at the time. A few days before the meeting in New York, traffic is said to have started for the first time in London. Andrew himself vehemently denies the allegations.
