Two Arrested in British Royal Blackmail Scandal

by Maricar on October 29th, 2007

Newspapers over the weekend reported an alleged plot involving a member of the British royal family, drugs, sex and £50,000. Scotland Yard has 2 men in custody after an undercover operation at London’s Hilton Hotel on September 11, 2007. The video supposedly shows a minor royal in a compromising situation with an aide. The men in custody are Ian Strachan, 30 and Sean McGuigan, 40.

Buckingham Palace has kept silence on the issue, only saying that it is a police matter. The name of the royal has not been released, due a gag order on the case. But it is most decidedly sure not to be Prince William or Prince Harry or any member of The Queen and Prince Philip’s immediate family.
