A bank that counts Queen Elizabeth II as a customer has been conducting a fresh investigation into sexist behaviour toward women. The inquiry at Coutts & Co. follows a separate 2015 probe into inappropriate conduct that led to the resignation of a senior banker earlier this year.

In October, a male employee of Coutts, which touts its royal patronage going back three centuries, was photographed wearing a hat featuring a penis-shaped protrusion in public on a company-sponsored charity trip to Rwanda by the Coutts cricket team, drawing criticism on social media and consternation among employees.
