In December 2010, Prince Andrew, Duke of York allegedly approached his long-time associate, Jeffrey Epstein — despite Epstein’s already-established history of sex-trafficking — and asked for help securing approximately US $200 million in working-capital funding for a company called Aria Petroleum. The request was transmitted via email from the Prince to Epstein, then forwarded by Epstein to his banker. The documents describe the deal as a “working-capital line” for the U.S.-based company, and the date of the email corresponds with a five-day stay Andrew had at Epstein’s Manhattan residence.
Prince Andrew has made an art out of living large on someone else’s dime. Despite losing his royal duties and being publicly disgraced, he continues to float through life cushioned by the generosity of others — whether it’s shady financiers, wealthy “friends,” or even family bailouts. The man who once begged Jeffrey Epstein for $200 million in funding still relies on outside help to sustain his champagne tastes. From a $16 million debt quietly covered by the late Queen, to mysterious “business” deals that seem to appear out of thin air, Andrew has become the royal equivalent of a trust-fund mooch — always broke, yet somehow never downsizing. He’s not working, not earning, and not apologizing. Instead, he’s still hustling for handouts, clinging to his titles, and pretending he’s the victim of bad press rather than a man who burned through his privilege and now needs others to bankroll what’s left of his faded luxury.
