Andrew ‘had 40 prostitutes brought to Bangkok hotel’
Biographer says taxpayer-funded trip occurred when prince served as a UK trade envoy
November 1, 2025
Disgraced former prince Andrew once had 40 prostitutes brought to his five-star hotel over four days during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, his biographer has claimed.
Andrew engaged with the women over a four-day stretch, royal historian and author Andrew Lownie alleged, according to a report in the New York Post and other media outlets.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, as he is now known, was officially stripped of his titles on Thursday by his brother King Charles III in a humiliating fall from grace that followed a growing list of damaging revelations about his character.
“There was a famous trip to Thailand. … Andrew is representing his country and insists on staying in a five-star hotel rather than the embassy, which he always did,” Lownie told the Daily Mail podcast “Deep Dive: The Fall of the House of York”.
Lownie said multiple sources, including a very senior Thai official, had backed up the allegation.
The visit to Bangkok was one of many trips Andrew took at British taxpayers’ expense when he was serving as an official trade envoy for the UK in the early 2000s.
“In 2001, Andrew is 41, he’s having his midlife crisis, and he basically starts chasing lots and lots of women,” Lownie said.
“He uses the excuse of his role as trade envoy, paid for by the taxpayer, to go off on these trips. He always puts in two weeks of ‘private time’”
Lownie maintained that there was a “conspiracy of silence” around the now-disgraced royal. He called on the British National Archives to release its files on Andrew’s time as the trade envoy.
“Andrew was sending a list of people he wanted to meet for his own personal business interests,” he alleged.
The British royal family has faced increasing pressure in recent months after it was revealed that Andrew had maintained ties with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein years after he claimed to have severed communication.
The revelation coincided with the arrival of the posthumously published memoir of Epstein’s most prominent accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who levelled disturbing allegations against the ex-prince.
Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, had long claimed she was forced to have sex with Andrew when she was just a teenager.
Andrew has repeatedly denied the allegations.

Re: Andrew ‘had 40 prostitutes brought to Bangkok hotel’
I've hired boys on company expenses, but not quite on that scale
For clarification, when going on business to certain countries, particularly some where the receipts were using a foreign alphabet, we would get a fixed rate daily expense allowance. It didn't take much effort to live well within that and then spend the excess at the weekend.
As for Andrew, well it's about time they down sized the whole institution. There are too many of them living high on the hog at the UK taxpayers expense.

Well, according to the article at least he only did that once . . .

All things considered, I'm surprised Andrew just doesn't throw in the red flag...flip the royal family the bird...and move to Thailand.
I had to chuckle, when you think of how much wealth the royal family has...all provided by taxpayers of course, and then the world comes to an end when the prince spends taxpayer dollars on a bunch of cheap prostitutes in Thailand.
40 in 4 days!!! If that was boys I'd be in heaven.

An average of 10 per day? The first day alone would probably kill me - but what a way to go . . .
