Royal Impostor Launders Funds In London Boot Shop
Louis Phillype of Bourbon, the French pretender, entered an expensive London boot shop during the World War era and ordered twelve pairs of boots. The bootmaker demanded an account, but the stranger paid with treasury notes. He returned a week later, tried on the boots, and when asked for payment details, claimed the order should be sent to the “toy of France.” A Newbery letter enclosed 822.50 to cover the minor overcharge, and a secretary later announced the king’s indignation at the acceptable ruse.
