Thanks Jenn. I think we all expected some sort of article like this, and the surprise is that it has
taken them so long.
The fact is that the Duke and Palace officials went into this entirely with their eyes open. our name was
deliberately not used in respect of the event or invitations, and we suggested the involvement of
organisations of which the Duke is a Patron. I'd also say that, in speaking with the Duke on the night,
he was very proud of what he had brought together and what it meant for business in the UK. He actually
said to me, "is anyone tweeting about this tonight .. they should be." We told him it wasn't a very
tweeting sort of crowd but he certainly didn't want to keep the event a secret. The Duke has a long
history of fending off criticisms of his engagement with business and is fairly resilient. My take on
this is that, although we would rather not be in the papers again, it doesn't do us too much harm to be
seen still be in favour with the British establishment and top business figures.

Below is the FT story on our Buckingham Palace dinner. The story focuses more on the use of Buckingham
Palace, but unfortunately we are the lead of the story with a few MPs commenting on it.

Fine
dining for Dimon at the Palace raises concerns of commercialization
By Patrick Jenkins, Helen Warrell and Kiran Stacey
November 22, 2013
It must have been a welcome spot of light relief for Jamie Dimon. only days after he finally agreed to a
$13bn
settlement with us mortgage regulators, the boss of JPMorgan - and dozens of his corporate clients
- were sitting back amid the splendour of Buckingham Palace, enjoying a fine dinner and performances by
the Royal Philharmonic and the English National Ballet.
The event, hosted by Prince Andrew, Duke of York, reflects growing enthusiasm by the Royal Family to use
its premises to promote business interests. But it also risks stoking criticism over its apparent
commercialisation and its intimacy with business.
One senior participant said the bank paid nothing for the evening but the Palace said the bank paid an
undisclosed fee for food, drink and the venue. The bank said it also made charitable donations to the
orchestra and ballet company.
According
to the Palace, the Duke of York is involved in efforts to support British business, and the
event was an opportunity to "engage" with international chief executives about what Britain has to offer.
Keith Vaz, the Labour chairman of the home affairs select committee, said the arrangement threatened to
undermine the cachet of the royal palaces and even the security of the royal family.
He compared it to controversial plans to open up the House of Commons to businesses, telling the
Financial Times: "It could be that a company perhaps is not blue chip but may look it. We could take
their money and only afterwards find out it is not an appropriate company to book a room in Buckingham

He added: "There is also the fact that this should be a special place. This is the home of the Queen.
Where
is it all going to end?"
The JPMorgan
event on October 30, had a guestlist that included up to 100 corporate and political
heavyweights, ranging from Kofi Annan, the former UN secretary-general, to Indian industrialist Ratan
Tata. Also present was Tony Blair, the former prime minister who chairs JPMorgan's "international council"
of senior advisers.
Key to organising the night was David Mayhew, the veteran City dealmaker who agreed a decade ago to sell
to JPMorgan the cazenove brokerage he led for many years. Mr Mayhew, still an adviser to JPMorgan, is a
close personal friend of Prince Andrew.
Paul
Flynn, a republican Labour MP, said renting out Buckingham Palace to us investment banks should be
only the start in making the royal family less dependent on the taxpayer. ·r think they could raise about
£100m a year by renting out rooms to tourists on a timeshare basis -they~e got about 600 rooms,· he
said.
Prince Andrew has a mixed record in promoting British business. He stepped down two years ago as the UK's
trade envoy following a string of controversies over his business links, most notably his close
friendship with us tycoon Jeffrey Epstein who was jailed for sex offences.
