Lady Green flies in face of Sir Philip Green’s BHS storm
LADY Tina Green proves it is business as usual despite her husband Sir Philip standing on the verge of losing his knighthood.
MPs last Thursday agreed to recommend Sir Philip lose his title after the collapse of BHS led to the loss of around 11,000 jobs and a £571 million pension blackhole.
But in the tax haven of Monaco, Lady Green was pictured sporting a £27,000 bag as she stood beside her £8 million private helicopter before travelling from Monte Carlo to Nice – a distance of 13 miles.
