Dodgy Dealings

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice are embroiled in yet another scandal involving their father

A Turkish heiress, a dodgy financial adviser, a disgraced prince and two seemingly innocent princesses enmeshed in the whole murky mess.

Welcome to the latest scandal to strike the beleaguered House of Windsor, where barely a week goes by without drama.

Queen Elizabeth is the person the public usually feel sorry for when trouble comes barrelling in - and for good reason. The ageing monarch has borne plenty of hardship and embarrassment on her tiny 95-year-old shoulders.

But you have to feel for two of her granddaughters too. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have had to cope with a lot, thanks to their father's dealings with less than salubrious acquaintances – and now it's happening all over again.

A complicated web involving millions of pounds with Prince Andrew, ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and their daughters has been dominating headlines.

It comes shortly after the queen's favourite son escorted his mother into Westminster Abbey for a memorial service for Prince Philip – which had many suspecting Andrew was staging a comeback to royal life, using his mother's approval and affection as leverage.

The latest drama involves a complex fraud case in the London high court.

Turkish millionaire Nebahat Evyap Isbilen is suing her financial adviser, Selman Turk (35), in a bid to get him to return her missing millions.

She claims he owes her £40 million (R760m) she entrusted to him when she fled Turkey after her husband, Ilhan Isbilen, a former Turkish lawmaker, was sentenced to life in prison in 2015 for his ties to the Gülenist dissident movement.
