The trip in question took place during Andrew’s tenure as UK Trade Envoy (2001-2011), specifically around celebrations for King Bhumibol’s milestone events. He rejected free accommodation at the embassy, opting for luxury hotels and adding “private time” to his schedule. Lownie details: “Andrew had 40 prostitutes brought in over four days, all facilitated by diplomats and staff.” Sources confirming this include a member of the Thai royal family, a Reuters journalist, and others close to the events.
This was not an isolated incident. Andrew, known as “Randy Andy,” reportedly used his position for personal gratification, including encounters in other countries like Phuket (where he was photographed with topless women) and ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Lownie argues Andrew had “no moral boundaries,” blending work with pursuits of women and personal business gains.

The core issue is the misuse of public funds. Over a decade, Andrew’s trips involved high costs for hotels, travel, and security—all borne by taxpayers—while he allegedly prioritized indulgence. Lownie criticizes a longstanding “conspiracy of silence” from the palace and government, with relevant files still sealed. Reports from embassies likely reached the late Queen, yet no significant action was taken.
Following the Epstein scandal, Andrew was stripped of most titles and royal duties. Recently, King Charles III has moved to remove his final “Prince” designation and evict him from Royal Lodge. But Lownie’s claims expose deeper protection afforded to Andrew over the years.
British public anger is boiling over, with citizens feeling betrayed that their taxes funded such alleged debauchery. Anti-corruption groups are calling for independent investigations and full disclosure of documents. The monarchy, already striving to rebuild trust amid multiple scandals, now confronts a major crisis.
Will King Charles III take firmer steps to fully distance the family from his brother? Or will these secrets remain buried under layers of privilege? Andrew’s story is not just personal—it’s a stark illustration of power abuse in elite circles. The British people deserve the full truth and genuine accountability.
