Prince Andrew was given more than £1 million by an alleged fraudster and is now embroiled in a High Court battle over missing money, The Telegraph can reveal.

The Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, his ex-wife, received "suspicious" payments on the orders of Selman Turk, a former Goldman Sachs banker, as part of a £40 million international fraud, it is alleged.

The payments included a £750,000 "gift" to the Duke by Nebahat Evyap Isbilen, a 76-year-old Turkish millionairess, who was told she was paying for help with a passport so she could flee political persecution in her homeland.

The first payment to the Duke came days after Mr Turk had won an award at the Duke's Dragons Den-style competition, known as Pitch@Palace, at St James's Palace. Mrs Isbilen has told the High Court she believes the payment was connected to Mr Turk's appearance at the event.
