A scheme for entrepreneurs founded by Prince Andrew has taken down the logos of its corporate sponsors from its website, as firms and charities distance themselves from the British royal over a sex scandal.

Insurance broker AON confirmed it had asked Pitch@Palace to remove its logo from the website. A spokesman said the logo had been placed on the site in error, as AON had no connection to the scheme.

KPMG, which was listed as a "founding partner" on the old supporters page, ended its sponsorship of Pitch@Palace on October 31. Several national media in Britain reported the decision was linked to adverse publicity around Andrew at that time. A KPMG spokesman declined to comment. Standard Chartered said it would not be renewing its sponsorship of Pitch@Palace when it expired at the end of the year.A spokesman for AstraZeneca said the company's three-year partnership with Pitch@Palace was due to expire at the end of the year and was being reviewed.

Barclays, which has supported participants in the Pitch@Palace programme for five years, declined to comment. Separately, British charity The Outward Bound Trust has called a board meeting this week to discuss Andrew's patronage, a spokeswoman said. Other non-profit organisations are having similar internal discussions, British media said.

PC morons at work again.

This bloke will now pay for the rest of his life for a few fun nights with very young ladies and associating with a paedophile trafficker.

This is a good way to punish him, he has been under the impression that he is untouchable, that he is clever, that because mummy is The Queen he can do what he likes. As the old saying goes 'there's more than one way to skin a cat' (sorry cat lovers). No remorse, he is now poison

Wicked family.

Always one complete clod in the family
