Prince Andrew, Duke of York, named in underage 'sex slave' lawsuit

He should resign his HRH title, donate his £249,000 per year allowance to a vulnerable children charity and get himself a real job.

I can get him started delivering parcels for Amazon within a week. He’ll be sweating in no time.
If he isn't glad handing then that £249K pa is effectively a very generous benefit payment, is he getting hassled by the Jobcentre about finding work?
I don't know about Amazon delivery driver, I have a 17 yr old daughter so wouldn't want him coming to my house, maybe get him a job in the warehouse with the robots.
 
Leave it to the entrepreneurs to put their foot in it.

Entrepreneurs back Prince Andrew's business scheme

Will King, founder of King of Shaves, said it was "really sad" the Pitch@Palace initiative had "been affected by the personal issues around the Duke of York."

The scheme provides start-up firms with advice and contacts, but no funding.

A source close to Prince Andrew said he would continue to be involved.

"If you're going to continue the Pitch@Palace in the royal environment, where you have an infrastructure that is paid for - I think, in part - by the taxpayer it would be an extraordinary shame that the palace don't see the opportunity in continuing this initiative."

He said the scheme had created £1bn of economic activity and noted that 97% of the companies who used it were still going.

But asked if it can continue with Prince Andrew at the helm, he said: "I don't know, I don't know."

Nick Mason, co-founder of digital identity tool Zaka, said Pitch@Palace was "a fantastic programme for young entrepreneurs that offers valuable opportunities to learn from and connect with leaders of industry."

"The Duke of York and his team were a constant source of encouragement throughout the impeccably-run programme and are clearly passionate about empowering the wonderful ventures that participate," Mr Mason said.

Alex Redston, co-founder of of Prison Voicemail, was one of the first people involved in the event.

He said the event had put him in contact with "one gentleman worth billions... who had incredible connections in telecoms and was interested in social impact".

"An amazing contact to make," Mr Redston said. "And other people who have helped us. Because we were so early stage we didn't quite understand the absolute rocket fuel that was there at the time."

"The Duke of York has provided an excellent platform for businesses, like Damson, to benefit from the network of connections and associates [to which] his status gives him access," Mr Talbot said.

Rajeeb Dey, the chief executive of training software firm Learnerbly, said: "Pitch@Palace has provided hundreds of entrepreneurs with unparalleled access to leading investors and influencers in the world of business."

Young people, status, incredible connections, unparalleled access, influencers. Connect with leaders. What would you do to get ahead? We suck young blood, and it would be a crushing bore if those who fuck young blood were prevented from participating in this holy quest.
