The Duke of Westminster is an alleged former client of the escort agency used by Eliot Spitzer, the disgraced Governor of New York, it has emerged.
The Duke, whose £7billion property empire makes him Britain’s third richest man, was accused of paying thousands of pounds to prostitutes he ordered through the London branch of Emperors Club VIP, which is at the centre of an FBI investigation into an international vice racket.
Court papers lodged by the FBI refer to a meeting in London between a call girl known as Astrid and a man referred to as “Client 6”, prompting intense speculation over the identity of the mystery man.
There is no suggestion that the Duke, who is the head of the Territorial Army, is Client 6, but the court documents will bring back unwelcome memories for the aristocrat, whose full name is Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, following a tabloid newspaper sting last year.
Zana Brazdek, then aged 26, told the News of the World that the Duke had paid her £2,000 for sex at a mews house he owns in St Anselm’s Place in Mayfair, West London. He had booked her through Emperors Club VIP.
Miss Brazdek claimed the Duke bragged to her that he knew how to find Osama bin Laden and talked about his Army role and going to Afghanistan.

So we have clinet #6 and Clinet #9 so far. I'm guessing some other 'big names' will show up as well.

According to Alan Dershowitz, this won’t even make the back pages over in Europe.

IIRC, the Duke of Westminster is Britain’s wealthiest man.

“disgraced Governor of New York”
Disgraced? How so? He just passed his final test needed to qualify himself as the Dem candidate most likely to replace Hillary in the Senate.

I’m trying to figure out what is so newsworthy about rich people being linked to high-cost hookers? It’s been happening since the oldest profession has been around.

Nothing, but you don’t get to toss a POS communist governor out of office everyday.

Just saw the video of the resignation announcement. Spitzer’s wife should be on suicide watch. She looks awful, ready to collapse at any moment. I don’t think she knew beforehand, she looks in shock to me.
