By vanrozenheim
(UK) - The Queen's nephew, Viscount David Linley, has been named as the victim of an extortion plot as it emerged the bail hearing for one of his accused blackmailers will be held privately in an attempt to prevent more details from leaking out. Viscount Linley, 46, is the son of the late Princess Margaret and is 12th in line to the throne. Two men were arrested during a meeting in September with an undercover detective at the Hilton Hotel in Mayfair. They reportedly showed the officer mobile phone video footage of a royal aide who claimed to have engaged in a sex act with the viscount and said that the royal had supplied him with cocaine, which the aide snorted on camera.
