Prince Andrew reported to the POLICE after 'using fake name' amid saga around private investments company

Prince Andrew has been reported to police and accused of using a false name to register a company.
The Duke of York, 64, used the pseudonym 'Andrew Inverness' when in 2002 he set up business Naples Gold Limited with sports retail tycoon Johan Eliasch.
Now Graham Smith, the chief executive of Republic, an anti-monarchy campaign group, has submitted a complaint to Scotland Yard to accuse the prince of using false information in documents filed to Companies House (the LLC registrar).
The Metropolitan Police is currently assessing the report to determine whether any further action is required.
Mr Smith told The Telegraph that Andrew 'must be held to the highest standards' and 'the royals appear to believe they can act with impunity'.
Andrew has used the pseudonym for four companies registered at Companies House.
It is thought to have derived from one of his less well-known titles, the Earl of Inverness, which was given to him by Elizabeth II in 1986 when he married Sarah Ferguson.
Mr Smith said: 'The apparent filing of false information with Companies House may seem trivial, but the UK faces serious issues of fraud committed in this way. While no such fraud is alleged here, surely Andrew must be held to the highest standards.'

The bum’s last name is Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, but if on any given day he wants to call himself “Inverness” based on one of his many titles, is that really so bad? Is it any less contrived than “Windsor”?
