accused of using a fake name to register a company, The Post has learned.The disgraced Duke of York, 64, used the pseudonym Andrew Inverness in 2003 when he joined forces with sports retail tycoon Johan Eliasch to set up a company called Naples Gold Limited.Andrew, who owned four companies that were linked to those registered at Companies House under the name, was described as a “consultant” on official forms, docs obtained by The Post show.Now, an anti-monarchy campaign group called Republic has accused the former working royal of falsifying official documents.Graham Smith, the chief executive of the organization, has filed an official complaint to Scotland Yard, responsible for policing much of London.“The royals appear to believe they can act with impunity, an impression given weight by the lack of police action on serious allegations of corruption and sexual offenses,” Smith told The Telegraph.London’s Metropolitan Police is currently in the process of determining whether any further action against the scandal-scarred duke is required.

Andrew was given the title Earl of Inverness by his later mother, Queen Elizabeth II, after he wed Sarah Ferguson in 1986. However, in using the name Andrew Inverness on official documents, King Charles’ younger brother has landed himself in hot water as he faces allegations of using a fake moniker for business purposes.“The apparent filing of false information with Companies House may seem trivial, but the UK faces serious issues of fraud committed in this way.
