Description

In the 2000s, Prince Andrew reinvented himself as Britain’s “Special Representative for Trade and Investment.” Officially, he was bringing prosperity to the UK. Unofficially, he was building a network of dubious friendships — oligarchs, dictators, financiers — and a reputation for arrogance that alarmed diplomats. As luxury trips and questionable deals piled up, whispers reached Buckingham Palace. The Queen defended him. Charles worried privately. William took notes.
