Prince Andrew became embroiled in controversy after revelations about a £750,000 “wedding gift” linked to him raised serious questions about propriety and transparency. The payment was reportedly routed through his bank, and when compliance officers flagged it as unusual, Andrew allegedly told them to “call Buckingham Palace” for confirmation. This response fueled suspicions that he used his royal status to silence scrutiny, deflect questions, and legitimize a transaction that might otherwise have faced deeper investigation.
The origins of the money and the nature of the transaction only intensified the scrutiny surrounding Andrew, already under fire for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Critics argued that the episode exposed how Andrew blurred personal financial dealings with royal privilege, undermining trust in the institution. Rather than a simple gift, the payment has been viewed as part of a pattern of questionable financial associations that left the Duke’s judgment—and his reliance on the Palace as a shield—under heavy fire.
