Duke of York in Davos: 'At least Britain has its own currency' (karma: 3)  en>fr fr>en

The Duke of York has chided EU nations plunged into chaos by the Eurozone crisis, quipping that at least Britain has its own currency. FINALLY A "ROYAL" WITH BALLS

Addressing entrepreneurs attending the Davos summit in Switzerland, the Duke reportedly urged foreign companies to invest in the UK rather than other European countries because “unlike them it is open for business”.

The remarks were made at a private cocktail party attended by international business leaders and politicians who have gathered in the ski resort for the World Economic Forum.

Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson were also at the reception hosted by the Prince to promote British business.

According to witnesses, quoted in the Mail on Sunday, the Duke said in his welcoming speech: “The message to get across here tonight is that Britain is open for business – unlike one or two other countries I could mention."

To applause, he added: “And what is more, we have our own currency.”

Te comments come ahead of tomorrow’s EU summit in Brussels, where Prime Minister David Cameron is likely to face criticism over his refusal to accept EU curbs on the City of London.

The Duke is attending the Davos summit even though he is no longer a special envoy for UK Trade & Investment, the Government-backed body.

He was forced to quit the role last year following disclosures about his friendship with US billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

The Duke was yesterday seen skiing in the nearby resort of Klosters, where he is staying in a luxury, eight-bedroom chalet.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “It was the Duke’s reception which he hosted in Davos and they were his opening remarks, I understand.”

Wow, the chump does earn his nobility title.

What a noble behavior to take potshots at economic union partners during a world forum.


T'would be fun to see the UK dumped out of the EU and see where the chips fall :D

The Queen, though, insisted that her son be allowed to remain with his ship, meaning Prince Andrew remained on board Invincible to serve as a Sea King helicopter co-pilot, flying on missions that included anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare, Exocet missile decoy, casualty evacuation, transport, and search and air rescue. He witnessed the Argentinian attack on the SS Atlantic Conveyor, and was one of the first to take off survivors
