Former Prince Andrew Accused of Billing Taxpayers for "Massages" During Trade Envoy Tenure

Former Prince Andrew Accused of Billing Taxpayers for "Massages" During Trade Envoy Tenure

Former royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — stripped of his titles and now under criminal investigation — is facing fresh scrutiny over alleged misuse of public funds during his decade-long tenure (2001–2011) as the United Kingdom’s trade envoy. According to whistleblowers who spoke with the BBC, Andrew submitted expense claims that included the cost of massage services and excessive travel while on official trade trips, including a controversial visit to the Middle East. Several civil servants reportedly raised concerns at the time, with one saying he objected to paying for “massage services,” only to be overruled by senior colleagues. Critics say Andrew’s entitlements were obscured across different budgets, making oversight difficult and enabling a culture in which questionable expenses went unchallenged.

These allegations come amid a broader set of controversies enveloping the disgraced royal, including his recent arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. While there’s no confirmed legal finding that Andrew unlawfully charged taxpayers for massages, the Department for Business and Trade declined to dispute the claims when asked, referring instead to the ongoing police probe. Meanwhile, parliamentary scrutiny is increasing, with discussions underway about formal inquiries into his conduct as envoy, and speculation in the Commonwealth about removing him from the royal line of succession entirely.
