King Charles Warns Duke to Avoid Further Controversy Amid Financial Struggles
King Charles is reportedly growing concerned over Prince Andrew’s latest financial manoeuvres, fearing they could spark fresh trouble for the royal family.
After being stripped of his royal titles and patronages due to his links with Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew was also cut off financially, leaving him responsible for covering his own security expenses and maintaining his crumbling Royal Lodge. However, his efforts to handle his finances have now raised red flags.
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie has claimed that Andrew continues to have dealings with financier David Rowland, a businessman with whom he has a long-standing relationship. Some of their past transactions allegedly involved Epstein, adding further controversy to the Duke’s associations.
According to RadarOnline, Charles is uneasy about Andrew’s ongoing ties with Rowland, fearing that any further missteps could bring renewed scrutiny to the Firm.
“The public perception of Andrew is that he lives a quiet, isolated life at Royal Lodge, going for horse rides and playing golf and video games,” Lownie wrote. “But the reality is quite different. He has continued his business dealings, including recent trips to the Middle East and Switzerland.”
The author added, “The King can only hope no further scandals emerge and that public interest in his brother fades. Based on current evidence, that seems unlikely.”
