King Charles’ brother, ex-Prince Andrew, is currently being investigated for several allegations after the Epstein archives opened a can of worms.
The former Duke of York previously caused a national security risk when it was revealed that a Chinese spy was one of his close acquaintances. However, Andrew denies that he knew of the fact at the time.
New details have emerged about Andrew’s shady dealings and how Chinese and Russian intelligence operations “actively targeted” Andrew since he was a “useful idiot”.
An intelligence source has claimed that Andrew “was not blackmailed or otherwise coerced into this role” but was a “willing participant in these schemes due to financial, sexual and personal reward”.
Historian Andrew Lownie revealed in his updated book that the disgraced ex-royal was “motivated” by “a long-standing hatred of his brother, Charles.
“AMW resented the attention and adulation Charles received as the future king and felt he was best suited for the role and generally superior to the then Prince of Wales,” Lownie wrote.
“RIS used AMW’s sexual proclivities to establish a relationship to exploit this mental state for further gain.”
It is understood that Andrew and Charles were never really fond of each other as children. Andrew was often dubbed Elizabeth II’s favorite son, and the late queen reportedly covered up for his mistakes.
Although there is no evidence that Andrew knowingly helped Russian spies, it is indeed a foolish move to be involved in a situation like this.
