Prince Michael of Kent was filmed by undercover reporters from
The Sunday Times and Channel 4 s
Dispatches posing as representatives of House of Haedong, a fake investment fund targeting gold.
They offered him $200,000 to make a pre-recorded speech endorsing the company for its launch event.
The journalists approached a friend of the prince, Lord Reading, who suggested that he could make open doors to access Russian President Vladimir Putin on behalf of the company.
This, the newspaper reported, would have cost them $50,000 for a four or five day trip by the prince to Russia.

Prince Harry was sent a personal email from the Queen about Megxit before she knew about his bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, it has been claimed.
Her Majesty reportedly sent Harry an email outlining her thoughts on the exit and making clear she believed only full dedication to royal duty was possible.
The message was sent around two weeks ago, before the Queen had even heard about Harry and Meghan Markle ’s upcoming interview with Oprah, according to the
Mail on Sunday.
The contents of the alleged email mirrored her thoughts on public service later included in the Queen s official statement shared last week.
