Royal family faces another potential scandal with Prince Andrew's looming predicament
In the ongoing saga surrounding the British royal family, Prince Andrew finds himself at the centre of renewed scrutiny over allegations of financial corruption. As of August 2025, there is no publicly confirmed investigation specifically targeting Prince Andrew for financial corruption within the royal family.
Recent investigative reporting and a critical new biography, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by Andrew Lownie, allege substantial misuse of royal status by Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson for personal financial gain. The book delves into questionable trade missions, lavish private purchases, and controversial relationships, particularly with the late Jeffrey Epstein.
However, these claims are based on investigative research, court papers, and disclosures rather than an official corruption probe. News coverage from August 2025 does not report an ongoing investigation by British authorities, only renewed scrutiny through media and books.
Close friends of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are reportedly "mortified" by the scandals involving their father, while some in the British upper class hold a natural sympathy for the royal family, believing that Prince Andrew is innocent until proven guilty.
The controversy involving Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein has been a sideshow, with the real story being financial corruption, according to some reports. Prince William is said to be attempting to remove the 'prince' title from Prince Andrew, as he becomes a persistent problem.
The author suggests that Prince Andrew could be investigated by the National Crime Agency. King Charles has been trying to evict Prince Andrew from his Royal Lodge, and Ghislaine Maxwell's testimonies could potentially cause trouble for him.
The FBI investigation into Andrew's involvement with Epstein has concluded, but the Epstein scandal has not fully recovered the Palace from its impact. The author does not mention any new facts about the ongoing international dealmaking by Prince Andrew or his alleged pursuit of financial gain.
Despite the lack of an official investigation, the allegations and public criticism continue to swirl around Prince Andrew, raising questions about his financial dealings and personal conduct.
