Prince Andrew has become embroiled in a legal riddle over a £750,000 payment from a Turkish millionairess.

 

Nebahat Isbilen, 77, who claims to have been scammed out of fortune by a dishonest businessman, was allegedly tricked into giving the Duke of York money 'by way of payment for assistance' with her passport, a court heard.

 

The prince has since repaid the cash after she alleged it was a scam. She said she had been hoodwinked by a middleman.

 

Details of the extraordinary case, which have emerged at the High Court, come only a month after Andrew settled an alleged rape case against him in the American courts.

 

He allegedly paid his accuser Virginia Roberts up to £12million in February. He has always denied the allegations. 

 

The Queen is reported to have helped settle the duke's civil case by personally making a donation to his accuser's charity in support of victims' rights.

 

Ever since, the duke has been battling to keep his place in royal life, most recently by escorting the Queen at her memorial service to Prince Philip this week.

 

Andrew, 62, is not central to the latest legal proceedings, but both he and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have been named as having received 'substantial sums'. There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on their part.

 

Last night there was no explanation from the prince about the mystery over the £750,000 – or of how he became involved.
