New claims have surfaced regarding the conduct of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor during his former role as a British trade envoy. According to a recently published biography, official trips funded by the public were allegedly used as cover for extensive personal activities.
A royal historian states that in the early 2000s, the then-prince routinely appended weeks of private time to his state business. It is alleged that the purpose of these extensions was not diplomatic. One particular journey to Thailand in 2001 has been highlighted, where he is said to have insisted on luxury hotel accommodations over official embassy lodging.
During this stay, the biography claims an extraordinary number of sex workers were procured for him over a short period. The author asserts these allegations are corroborated by multiple sources, including international journalists and local dignitaries, who indicated that embassy staff facilitated the arrangements.
These revelations emerge amidst a significant demotion for the former royal. Buckingham Palace recently confirmed the formal removal of his princely title and styles, and he has been served notice to vacate his long-term residence at Royal Lodge. This follows his earlier relinquishment of his Duke of York title.
The palace’s actions are seen as a direct response to the persistent scandal surrounding his association with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Public and institutional pressure intensified following the posthumous publication of a memoir by Virginia Giuffre, who had previously settled a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault.
The new allegations, detailed in an unauthorized biography, present a picture of a man allegedly exploiting his official position for personal gratification, with the costs ultimately borne by taxpayers.
