New Files Reveal Queen Elizabeth Pushed for Prince Andrew’s Trade Role
Bombshell government files reveal Queen Elizabeth’s personal push for Prince Andrew’s trade role and how he bypassed vetting. Get the full story here!
Newly released government documents have shed light on the inner workings of the British monarchy and its influence on trade appointments. Files related to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s decade-long stint as a special trade envoy show that the late Queen Elizabeth II played a surprisingly active role in his career.
According to the records, the Queen had a "very keen" interest in her son taking up the position. This push reportedly came despite concerns about the vetting process. In fact, the bombshell files suggest that the former Prince was never properly vetted for the high-profile international role, which he held for ten years.
The documents also provide a glimpse into the former Prince’s personal preferences while representing the U.K. abroad. He reportedly preferred traveling to "sophisticated countries" and made it clear he wasn't interested in attending "golf functions."
Andrew eventually stepped down from the position in 2011 following intense public scrutiny over his controversial links to Jeffrey Epstein. These new files offer a rare look at the behind-the-scenes pressure from the Palace to keep him in a position of global influence during that time.
