A Special Forces friend of Prince Harry is being investigated over claims of financial irregularities after a world record-breaking bike ride from Argentina to Alaska that raised at least £500,000 for mental health charities in the UK.
Ex-SBS trooper Dean Stott, 42, is being probed by charity regulators over expenses of up to £400,000 racked up as part of his 14,000-mile cycling marathon across America.
Last night, the Official Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) confirmed it had opened a formal inquiry into the charity he set up with his wife Alana.
The probe comes after Mr Stott was accused of cheating on the 99-day ride to ensure he returned to Britain in time to attend Prince Harry’s wedding.
