Prince Andrew Allegedly Asked China for £2.4 Billion and Had Secret Meetings about Using Royal Status for Money

Alleged Requests and Covert Meetings

Prince Andrew reportedly requested $3 billion (£2.4 billion) from China and engaged in secret meetings to explore using his royal status for financial gain. His relationship with alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo, who facilitated deals, was flagged as a "threat to national security."

Seeking Financial Backing and Influence

Documents reveal that Andrew sought advice from Chinese officials, including a communist minister, and planned to leverage his royal status to initiate an international think tank. He aimed to raise $3 billion for a fund to overcome technological barriers against China, potentially compromising UK security interests.

Consequences of the Allegations

The Home Office flagged Andrew's association with Yang as a security risk due to undisclosed ties to the Chinese government. Despite diplomatic efforts to secure international financing, concerns were raised about the prince's willingness to prioritize personal gain over national security.

Epstein Scandal and Ongoing Investigations

Following his controversial BBC interview in 2019, where Andrew failed to condemn his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, further scrutiny emerged. Recent emails contradict Andrew's claims of cutting ties with Epstein in 2010, raising questions about his involvement in Epstein's activities.

The FBI is poised to investigate individuals connected to Epstein, including Andrew, as part of efforts to uncover the full extent of Epstein's crimes. The prince also faced public backlash as his portrait was removed from a London pub, marking another blow to his tarnished reputation.
