A dignified British prince, in order to please the rich copper smelting man, sold all the top-secret British business cards… How should the “traitorous prince” be punished?
This article is reprinted from the WeChat public account: Those Things in the UK
Last month, with the latest disclosure of more than 3 million files related to the “Epstein case” by the U.S. Department of Justice, Andrew once again became the focus.
Because he was deeply involved in the scandal, he had been deprived of the title of “His Royal Highness”, was kicked out of the royal villa overnight, and was nailed to the pillar of shame of “sexual assault”.
With so much newly disclosed information, the media is now digging up and digging out, and they are still digging out new information related to Andrew.
This time, it’sTraitor.
More accurately, it should be calledMisconduct of a public official（Misconduct in Public Office）。
The latest evidence shows that Andrew, as a former British trade envoy, actually gave British commercial secrets, National Bank data, and even foreign trade trump cards directly to Epstein and some of Andrew’s wealthy friends.
By cheating and betraying national interests, Andrew once again broke the lower limit of human nature…

[British foreign trade secrets, sent to Epstein’s email in 5 minutes]
From 2001 to 2011, it was the most prosperous decade of Prince Andrew’s life. At that time, he had an official title – UK’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment, which can be referred to asBritish trade envoy.
This was not a false position. In that era, Britain was trying to find its place in the wave of globalization, especially looking at the emerging huge markets in the East.
Andrew’s mission is to use his royal status to fly around the world to help British companies open doors to trade.
On November 30, 2010, Andrew had just completed a trip to Asia. During this trip,He collected a large amount of intelligence, including sensitive market information, high-level political and business developments, potential investment opportunities, etc.
In accordance with British government regulations,This information is classified as “commercial secrets” or “sensitive political information” and is strictly protected by the Official Secrets Act.This information is a trump card for British companies to compete overseas, and it was paid back by taxpayers at a huge price.
At the time, Andrew had a special assistant, Amit Patel, who sent the compiled official visit report to Andrew’s private mailbox.
However,In less than 5 minutes, Andrew sent the report to Epstein’s mailbox.
As we all know, Epstein was involved in the financial circle and made money by relying on poor information. This information could be said to be delivered to his heart.
(recently disclosed email)
Andrew betrayed information to Epstein more than once.
Christmas Eve 2010,Andrew sent Epstein a top-secret briefing on reconstruction projects in Afghanistan’s Helmand province.
Helmand Province is one of the most intense places in the Afghan War. Many British soldiers lost their lives there. The reconstruction project there is not only a commercial investment, but also related to geopolitics and national security. It involves the development opportunities of a large number of strategic resources such as gold mines and uranium mines.
Andrew’s actions can no longer be summed up in the word “stupid”. Selling out national interests is “traitoring”…

[Leaking confidential information from the Ministry of Finance, Andrew facilitated wealthy friends]
Among the latest public information, some emails show that in 2010, when Andrew was serving as the British trade envoy, he requested the British Treasury to provide an updated status report on Iceland.
At that time, Iceland had just suffered the blow of the financial crisis, and because of the loss of British deposits during the financial crisis, the United Kingdom and Iceland were engaged in a diplomatic game.
A week later, an official at the UK Treasury emailed Andrew back with the report he requested.
Two hours later, Andrew forwarded the confidential Treasury report to his wealthy friend, banker Jonathan Rowland.(Jonathan Rowland), who is also the CEO of Banque Havilland, a private bank headquartered in Luxembourg.

A year ago, Havilland Bank acquired some assets from the failed Icelandic Kaupthing Bank.
A few days before Andrew emailed Jonathan, the Icelandic Special Prosecutor’s Office raided the offices of Kaopsin Bank and discovered that many of the depositors who were unable to withdraw cash were British.
Havilland Bank was founded by Jonathan’s father, David Rowland, and Andrew had a good relationship with both father and son.

Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah once accepted a donation of 40,000 pounds from David to pay off debts. She also used a loan from a bank under David’s name to buy a first-class ticket to Nepal.
In 2017, David also repaid a £1.5 million bank loan for Andrew.
David was invited to Balmoral Castle, where he met the late Queen and had afternoon tea with Charles.
Not long after donating 1.5 million pounds, David induced Andrew to participate in launching a joint venture project between one of his banks and an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund.
It is not difficult to see that the relationship between Andrew and his rich friends is just to use each other…

[Eating the inside and outside, Andrew betrayed local British companies]
The unlucky guy in this story is from EnglandRoyal Bank of Scotland (RBS)and British car brandsAston Martin.
In 2010, the aftermath of the global financial crisis had not yet subsided, and the Royal Bank of Scotland had just received a 45 billion pound government bailout, escaping the crisis of bankruptcy.
As a trade envoy, Andrew met with bank executives.Learned some of the bank’s internal business secrets.
(Royal Bank of Scotland)
Among the newly disclosed documents is an email exchanged between Andrew and Emirati investment banker Terence Allen in July 2010.
Allen said RBS still has a number of assets for sale, adding “we are looking at some of their distressed properties for clients.”
Andrew stated in his reply email,An RBS executive told him that Drummonds, the bank’s private bank, would be reviewed and further integrated with Coutts.
He also revealed,The CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland has no plans to sell his stake in subsidiary brands because he has more important things to worry about.
In addition to revealing it to banker Allen,Andrew also emailed his adviser, David Stern, to share the information with him.
This Stern had a great background. He was Epstein’s confidant arranged to be around Andrew, and he then forwarded the email to Epstein.
In the words of experts, this intelligence is “very useful” to potential investors.

The British luxury car brand Aston Martin did not escape Andrew’s vicious hands.
After experiencing the financial crisis, Aston Martin is also having a hard time and is eagerly seeking an injection of overseas capital.
Same as above,Andrew disclosed internal affairs at Aston Martin, including conflicts among its internal parties and tensions between management and Kuwaiti investors, to banker Allen and consultant Stern, who in turn forwarded the emails to Epstein.
This trade envoy, Andrew really paid off…

[Asian Gateway Project, Andrew becomes a political and business broker]
As just mentioned above, Andrew has a consultant, David Stern, who once served as a director of the entrepreneurial incubation platform “Pitch@Palace” founded by Andrew, and his office is located in Buckingham Palace.
But actually,He was Epstein’s informant around Andrew and Buckingham Palace.
Among the recently disclosed information, an email revealed a codename named“Asia Gateway”business plan——
Using Andrew’s halo as a “prince”, he “harvested” wealthy people in Asia who were eager to meet Western dignitaries.
Stern suggested to Epstein in the email that they should set up an investment office in Asia to specifically serve “high-net-worth individuals.” Andrew didn’t have to do anything. He just needed to be a “mascot” and provide royal endorsement for the plan.
Stern, who used “PA” (short for Prince Andrew) to refer to the prince, suggested“Let the PA get involved very carefully, using his aura and connections.”
Andrew was aware of their plan and remained tacit and supportive when Stern reported to Epstein: “PA has been informed of the plan to form a company and is awaiting feedback.”
(Stern, Sarah and Andrew)
In order to deceive others, Stern gave the project a code name “Witan”, which means “Conference of Wise Men” in ancient Anglo-Saxon. It sounds quite high-end.
Stern said in an email to Epstein that Andrew liked the name.He also mocked him for “having no idea what the word meant.”
In the eyes of Stern and Epstein, Andrew was just a tool and never really gained their respect…

[Police launches investigation, Charles expresses support]
On February 9 this year, Thames Valley Police confirmed that they were evaluating Andrew’s investigation into suspected “misconduct in a public official” during his tenure as the British trade envoy.
On February 15, when the British Director of Public Prosecutions was asked about the investigation into Andrew, he publicly stated:“No one is above the law.”
“My duty is to enforce the law, and I will enforce the law impartially, without fear of power or selfishness. This will not be affected by the identity of the persons involved in the case.”
If Andrew is really prosecuted for this,He will become the first member of the royal family to face a criminal trial in modern British history.
Meanwhile, on February 9, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “The King has made clear, through words and unprecedented actions, his deep concern about the emerging allegations against Mr Mountbatten-Windsor (Andrew’s current name after losing his title of “Prince”).”
“It is for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to respond to the specific allegations, but we stand ready to provide support if Thames Valley Police contacts us.”
