Prince Andrew has been called out for allegedly turning into a leech when it comes to his multi-year freeload, which was marred by “arrogant”, “rude” and “astoundingly entitled” behaviour.
The claim is made by RadarOnline and they claim that the former duke was the sort of man who liked “to get things for free.”
A former official even spoke to the outlet, revealing that the envoy was “obviously bored and underemployed” over the years working in the UK’s specialty trade. because he often pressed the government “to underwrite his journey, on the basis of the promoted UK PLC.”
Even his unofficial biographer Andrew Lownie wrote in his book entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York: “He absolutely pushed the government to cover expenses. People were rubber-stamping things because he was royal. The Foreign Office didn’t feel they could do anything. The problem was he wasn’t properly monitored.”
“No one quite knew who was in charge. So he was left to run his own show. He likes to get things for free. It goes back to the sense of entitlement – that the taxpayer owes him everything.”
Former head of Scotland Yard Dai Davies also spoke out, calling him “arrogant, rude and abrasive”, while recalling an interaction where “he wanted to speak to someone of a higher rank than me. I remember saying to my wife afterwards: ‘God, that man is an arrogant so-and-so’.”
