Prince Andrew has been reported to the police by anti-monarchy campaigners who accuse him of using a false name in company records. The Duke of York stepped back from public life over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein in November 2019, but has been in the news again more recently over his connections to an alleged Chinese spy.
However, the group Republic has given Andrew a new headache by filing a complaint to the Metropolitan Police over reports, including by the BBC and Daily Telegraph, that he used the name 'Andrew Inverness' in official documents filed with Companies House. The pressure group, which seeks the abolition of the monarchy, argues that 'it is an offense to use false information when registering with Companies House.' Graham Smith, chief executive of Republic, told Newsweek: 'It is an offense and he is a public figure. He's part of the institution of the monarchy and he should be held to a higher standard. We constantly turn a blind eye to breaking the law.' 'There's no way in which his name is Andrew Inverness,' he continued. 'There must be a reason why he did that and the police ought to be asking questions about it.' Newsweek has approached the Metropolitan Police and representatives of Prince Andrew for comment. As far back as 2019, the Telegraph reported that Andrew used the Inverness surname to launch a company called Naples Gold in November 2002. If correct, the style is contrary to the one used by Prince William and Princess Kate and also by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Companies House filings, which included their full titles.
