H and M - an American dynasty as an offshoot from the British Royal Family

Thinking long term about H and Me lives and their children's lives where is the funding going to come from and is there a serious risk of the funding drying up? I especially think of the children who I would expect would go to a private US school and ultimately will be US citizens perhaps pursuing US jobs. There is huge competition for celebrity status in the US and no nobility as such so how do they for in? Does the link to the RF quickly become an irrelevance ?

His real name (if he has one) is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
I suppose 'Andrew York' might be a bit too noticeable!

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 08/01/2025 21:16

Andrew Inverness? What a dimwit.

Thedom · 08/01/2025 21:18

He missed a trick.

]He should have just asked us here on mumsnet, what secret name could I use so I can go undercover, a resounding chorus of Andrew Whatabout, he would have been set, no one would have guessed. . Who needs a chinese spy when there is mumsnet.

It is false information. His name is not 'Andrew Inverness' 🤣

Andrew can use Inverness so he has - the only people getting upset about it is Graham and one or two posters on here 😂

It's scraping the barrel even for Graham.

I do like Andrew Whataboutery though😂

BustingBaoBun · 08/01/2025 21:29

Can you link to something, anything, that says he has a name that can be used on Company Accounts that is 'Andrew Inverness' when his real name is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Can you link to something, anything that says he can't?

Or friends with paedophiles like Charles.

Did Charles know he was a 'friend' of a paedophile? I doubt they were that close friends anyway!

Have you never been friends with someone who turned out to have a dark side that you didn't know about?!

adriftinadenofvipers · 08/01/2025 21:42

IAmATorturedPoet · 08/01/2025 21:01

He didn't use a false name, he used a surname he was entitled to use as he is the Earl of Inverness, no different to Harry or William who can and have used Harry Wales or William Wales.

Graham Smith is a twit.

The RF is quite fluid re surnames so I see nothing wrong with Andrew using Inverness, as he is the Earl of Inverness.

Harry changed his name from Mountbatten-Windsor to Sussex. Does the PP also have an issue with that??!

Yes, here’s hoping!

@EdithWeston I got myself sucked into the whataboutery there in a moment of weakness, was a bit rich of me given my post yesterday so thanks for the reminder to keep on topic.👍

Yes he was friends with a convicted paedophile. Maybe you are too, but I am not.

Charles close friend Jimmy Saville -- does that give you a full house?

Bit disgusting to find paedophiles funny though

It is almost like spies and paedophiles would want to keep their true nature secret from everyone around them whilst grooming people to provide them with cover.

Serenster · 08/01/2025 21:53

The questioning of this issue is the wrong way round.

Andrew holds the title Earl of Inverness, that much is true. It’s also true that is is common usage for titled people to use their title in lieu of a surname, even when they do actually have a surname. Like Emma Thynn, now Marchioness of Bath, but who competed on Strictly Come Dancing as Emma Weymouth because at the time her title was Viscountess Weymouth (her husband had not at that stage inherited the title Marquis of Bath).

So if Andrew holds that title, by custome and practice he is entitled to use that name. So it’s not false information, even if he doesn’t use it often, or even if this is the first time he has used it.

The question then should be what are Companies’ House requirements for company officers and the names they use on the register? And has Andrew breached those rules by using the name Andrew Inverness?

I have looked on Companies House website but they don’t deal with this. It will be an issue of their practice, not strict law, because you don’t need to follow a legal process to start using a new name. This might surprise you, but it’s true. If you want to get a driving licence or passport in a new name, you’ll need a deed poll, but people’s names change over time, and people may validly use different names at different times, and that’s not generally an issue.

He hasn't registered a company with that name with companies house in the UK

Harry and Meghan registered with Companies House as The Duke of Sussex and The Duchess of Sussex. So not even proper names. (MWX Foundation, lasted barely a year before being liquidated).

A company is treated as a separate “person” legally and so it is incorporated, registered and individuals are recorded as its officers (its directors and secretary) atCompanies House.

The important thing is for the company to be legally identifiable, so it has a unique name and number, and a registered office that must be kept up to date at Companies House. There are rules about these being made clear on the company’s letterhead, websites and in its communications etc. The identity of the officers is less important.

Serenster · 08/01/2025 22:13

(I have been nosing around on the Companies House website and have discovered that there are 5 separate people recorded as company officers who have the first name “Princess” and the second name “Anne” and then a surname 🤣 )
