Questions Over Their Father’s Dealings

Royal author Andrew Lownie has argued that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie should be questioned regarding their alleged involvement in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s business affairs.

Speaking on Sky News Australia’s The Bolt Report, Lownie claimed the sisters “accompanied him on many of these trips” and may have benefited from connections formed during his tenure as UK Trade Envoy between 2001 and 2011.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, was arrested by British officials last week on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Lownie, who wrote the 2025 biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, suggested the arrest may be only the beginning.

“The police are looking into misconduct in public office. There clearly is a lot of evidence, particularly now from the dump of Epstein material, which backs up what I’ve done in my research,” Lownie said.

He added, “I don’t think this precludes an investigation into the sex trafficking, and I think we’re also getting a new area (to look into) and that’s national security.”

Allegations of National Security Concerns

Lownie further alleged that Andrew may have compromised sensitive information.

“One of the problems was that Andrew was also leaking defence and military secrets- that’s now been hinted at by officials in Whitehall,” he claimed.

The biographer said he had long been aware of some of these accusations but was unable to include them in his book due to legal constraints.

“And in fact, I’ve now got access to various reports from American intelligence, showing that he had basically been subdued by Russian intelligence.

“So this story is getting bigger and bigger, and I’m afraid Andrew is getting into deeper and deeper waters.”

He also claimed that newly released Jeffrey Epstein files allow him to revisit previously excluded material.

According to Lownie, while serving as Trade Envoy, Andrew was “shoehorning in meetings for some of his business associates, asking ambassadors to fix these meetings”.

“He (Andrew) was bringing people, including his daughters, Jeffrey Epstein, and others, including a ‘point man’ he had called David Stern, who was inserted into his entourage – all doing business on his behalf,” Lownie said.
