Its been reported in the British Press that Henry will withdraw all his (presumably mountains of) cash before y2k, though I have heard it was not reported in the US.

If anyone has inside information it must be our friend Henry....

Is this the same old rumor that's been floating around? Or has this been substantiated?

I was chastised for posting the actual article a week or so ago. Apparently, it is fom the British equivalent to the Enquirer and should be treated appropriately unless verified by someone else. So far, no one else has done so. Probably just a rumor...

read "Tabloids" instead of "Press" in original post. seems like the same old rumor.

I heard this same issue is being used as documentation in alt.sightings.ufo for the facing article, "Blair Gives Birth To Space Alien."
