Prince Michael of Kent was willing to use his royal status for personal profit, and provide access to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime, a Sunday Times and Channel 4 report
The Queen’s cousin was filmed at a meeting in which undercover reporters were told he could be hired to make representations to the Kremlin.
His friend, the Marquess of Reading, later described him as “Her Majesty’s unofficial ambassador to Russia”.
The prince, 78, has denied the claims. And in a statement, his spokesperson said that the marquess had “made suggestions which Prince Michael would not have wanted, or been able, to fulfil” during the covertly-recorded meeting.
