The Duke of Westminster: so rich and so very foolish (CNBC suggests he is Client No. 6)
Daily Mail ^ | 12th February 2007 | GEOFFREY LEVY

Posted on 03/12/2008 12:32:35 PM PDT by OESY

Britain's richest man was exposed as a serial user of prostitutes yesterday.

The Duke of Westminster, who is worth £6.6billion and is the country's biggest landowner, paid for four vice-girls in six weeks to visit his mews house in the West End of London.

Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, 55, who is head of the Territorial Army, was said by the News of the World to have openly discussed military matters and Osama Bin Laden.

He declined to comment on the claims, which must inevitably raise questions over his suitability to lead the TA.

Reckless, boastful, stupid, weak - such lacerating words hardly exaggerate the case against the Duke of Westminster.

Bragging to prostitutes that he knew the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden, taking security risks by allowing the mainly East European girls to know exactly who he is - this is a significant figure who should be keeping his mouth closed and commanding respect as head of the Territorial Army, many of whose part time soldiers are on active service in Iraq and Afghanistan, and some of whom have been killed and injured.

Incredibly, the same man was also entrusted by the Prince of Wales with the responsibility of acting as private mentor and guide to Prince William, now an Army officer himself....

But why is this news in Britain? I thought Alan Dershowitz was telling us the other night that Europe doesn’t care about stuff like this and that these sex scandals wouldn’t even make the back pages over there.

I guess the news is that Alan Dershowitz doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground. But that's not really news, is it?

I have seen other posters say it was BJ himself, but with his track record of rape, I can not see him paying for it.

Hillary on the other hand........

They like gossip in Britain even more than Americans. I know it doesn't seem possible but it's true. British tabloids are the snarkyest in the world. If it was France on the other hand, they would be surprised if every politician in the country WASN'T hiring hookers all the time.

Maybe he can fill in for one of the dead guys in the Y-M-C-A revival tour?

What did they lose, at least one, maybe two?

Britain’s rejects compares to America’s rejects. None are worth a farthing or a penny.

Sounds like it’s because of the security concerns - y’know, “though he let the wrong words slip while kissing persuasive lips”
