The Telegraph newspaper has revealed that Andrew Windsor, a son of the hereditary head of state, is spending £4000 of taxpayers’ money a week paying bills for hotels, restaurants and receptions. Between £3000 and £4000 has also gone on a helicopter flight for what would otherwise have been just a 146 mile road trip.
Mr. Windsor justifies these expenses as a "trade ambassador for Britain", a job apparently created for his benefit.
Under Britain’s feudal system Mr. Windsor is known as the Duke of York.
