The bad news continues for Prince Andrew. The little brother of Charles III was reported to the police for using a false name to register a company, announced the Daily Mail.
Prince Andrew is once again at the heart of a scandal. This Tuesday, January 7, 2025, our English colleagues from Daily Mail have revealed that the younger brother of King Charles III was reported to the police by Graham Smith, the chief executive of Republic, an anti-monarchy campaign group. In his complaint filed with Scotland Yard, he accuses the Duke of York of having used a false name in order to register a company.
According to evidence put forward by Graham Smith, Prince Andrew used false information in documents filed at Companies House, the English equivalent of the French trade and companies register. Law enforcement is currently evaluating this information to determine if additional action is necessary. This is a real blow for Sarah Ferguson's ex-husband who is also facing a new financial setback which puts him in difficulty facing members of the royal family.

Prince Andrew used a pseudonym to create several companies
The general manager of Republic assured the Telegraph whose remarks were reported by the Daily Mailthat the Duke of York “must be held to the highest standards” and that “Members of the royal family seem to believe they can act with impunity”. According to our colleagues, Prince Andrew has used the pseudonym “Andrew Inverness” four times to register companies at Companies House in recent years.
However, if the general public knows the younger brother of King Charles III by his name as Duke, he also has the title of Earl of Inverness which was given to him by Elizabeth II in 1986 after his marriage to Sarah Ferguson. Prince Andrew would have decided to use this name, which, according to Graham Smith, constitutes an “apparent repository of false information”. Prince Andrew is thus new to the turmoil a few weeks after the revelations of his link with a Chinese spy.
