The lifestyle of the Duke of York embarrass the British authorities

London correspondent - While Buckingham Palace would devote all his energy to prepare the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William, scheduled April 29, now the second son of Queen Elizabeth II is too much talk about him. It happens one day longer without a British newspaper does not publish information on disturbing the Duke of York.

So much so that, Sunday, March 6, the palace had to defend a statement saying that "Prince Andrew is fully committed to his role as Special Representative for the Great Britain international trade. And it has everything government support. " William Hague, the foreign minister, although very busy at the front of Libya, was also bothered that day, to support him: "I saw the world all the good he has been To [our] country "and its enterprises, and" I have confidence.

" In fact, the situation seems a little more complicated for the former husband of Sarah Ferguson, whose lifestyle at taxpayer expense - between 2001 and 2010 he spent in hotels and had nearly 4 million pounds for 76 travel - is increasingly discredited in these times of austerity. The Sunday Telegraph, one wonders at the top place at Downing Street on whether to retain its role as the prince Business Ambassador of the United Kingdom.

"We are concerned with what has been revealed, but also what still can be," he told the weekly Prime Minister's adviser David Cameron. Some evoke the friendship of the Duke of York with Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the Libyan colonel who has promised a "bloodbath" to those who want the departure of his father.

His secretary said he would have met as part of his duties, only twice. Prince Andrew is also criticized for a grand welcome at Buckingham, always within the framework of his duties as Special Representative of Great Britain in October 2010, Sakhr El Materi, the son of Ben Ali, the Tunisian president had to withdraw under pressure from the street in mid-January.

Finally - and here no one can say that the brother of Prince Charles was acting within the scope of its functions - photos published in recent days reflect its proximity to Jeffrey Epstein, an American financier convicted of soliciting the services of underage prostitutes, and with one of these girls selling their bodies.
