Investigation conducted by Channel 4 Dispatches and the Sunday Times.

Britain's Prince Michael of Kent's been accused of being willing to use his royal status for personal profit.

Undercover reporters, posing as investors, were told the Queen's cousin could be hired for 10-thousand pounds a day to make 'confidential' representations to the Russian President's regime.


His office insists he earns his own living through a consultancy company and has no special relationship with Vladimir Putin.

The investigation led by Channel 4's Dispatches programme, in collaboration with The Sunday Times.

UK Labour MP Chris Bryant chairs the all-party parliamentary group on Russia.
