Coutts & Co - the Queen's own bank – is being investigated by German authorities for tax evasion.

The German prosecutor is examining the Swiss arm of the 300-year-old private bank for “alleged aiding and abetting of tax evasion by certain Coutts & Co clients”, its parent RBS revealed today.

“Current and former employees” are also being investigated, and the company is “cooperating” with the authorities.

Coutts & Co is also still waiting to hear from the US Department of Justice over unpaid taxes, and a figure is expected to be fixed upon this year.

“Provision has been made for the estimated liability arising from this programme/review,” the group said in a statement.

For heavens sake surely the Queen and the monarchy hasn't been doing a bit of tax evasion as well? Couts is of course the bank of the very very wealthy including the Eton ranks.

God forbid. Evil or Very Mad
