"Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has applied to shut down some of his last remaining business interests including the Dragons' Den-style startup competition Pitch@Palace Global. A document announcing the application to dissolve the firm was filed with Companies House on Tuesday, signed by its sole director, Arthur Lancaster. Pitch@Palace held its first event in 2014 and involved entrepreneurs presenting their ideas to potential investors at locations including St James's Palace."
"It suspended operations in 2019 after the interview Mountbatten Windsor gave to BBC Newsnight about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and in which he denied having any sexual contact with Virginia Giuffre. The UK side of the business was wound up in 2021 but the international part, Pitch@Palace Global, remained open. The latest set of accounts showed that the business had 10,965 at the end of March, down from 220,990 the year before, the BBC reported."
"Last month, King Charles stripped his younger brother of his titles and honours and moved to force him out of his 30-room Windsor mansion after months of pressure over his ties to the convicted sex offender Epstein and the allegations made by Giuffre. The removal process applies to the titles of Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh and the style His Royal Highness."
