The Queen's PR firm, Farrer & Co, do not like journalists asking about possible money-laundering on one of the Queen's tax shelters. They also object to journalists checking the facts with additional sources and, generally, doing journalism. One such example -- and my response. 
Just another day of writing emails to @RoyalFamily's PR firm. Here is the resulting magazine story: institutionalinvestor.com/article/b1qwpn…
Interestingly, Farrer & Co's Julian Pike is listed on a trust with Prince Andrew, Duke of York (see attached). As a journalist, I would like to ask, how many others at Farrer & Co have financial ties to the @RoyalFamily, even as Farrer & Co does PR for the Queen and her kids?
Quite a few overlapping relationships between Prince Andrew's Tyrolese trusts and Farrer & Co partners here (thanks to @mopeng for flagging up):
Another Farrer & Co partner tied to Prince Andrew's Tyrolese Limited trusts and listed as "active," is Richard Parry. Interviewed here, Parry is dubbed, unironically, "not your average family lawyer.": 500.spearswms.com/2016/family-la…
Farrer & Co considers itself a "full-service" firm for the British elite and "HNW" (high net worth) crowd, offering financial, legal, public relations and other services. One of those services provided for @RoyalFamily & Prince Andrew this week was this: thedailybeast.com/queen-elizabet…
“Softly spoken and unfailingly courteous, [Richard Parry] says that Farrer distinguishes itself from the galaxy of niche family law firms as a ‘full-service private client firm,’ catering to the spectrum of HNW needs — convenient for clients ‘usually in difficult situations.’”
