Prince Andrew's Firm Linked to Controversial Millionaire Amid Investigation

Prince Andrew is facing renewed scrutiny after revelations that his business venture, Pitch@Palace Global, was administered for two years by Knox House Trustees (UK), a firm controlled by the controversial millionaire Doug Barrowman. This transfer of legal ownership took place after Andrew's 2019 Newsnight interview regarding his association with Jeffrey Epstein, though the prince retained control while using a nominee structure—a longstanding royal practice to obscure direct ownership. Barrowman and his wife, Baroness Michelle Mone, have been embroiled in scandal for misleading the public about their ties to PPE Medpro, a company under investigation for receiving major government contracts during the Covid pandemic. While Barrowman’s lawyer denies any direct business or personal involvement with the duke, the connection has heightened concerns about Prince Andrew’s judgment in selecting business associates. The controversy adds to questions about Andrew’s finances and his ability to maintain his lifestyle after being cut off by King Charles. The situation also underscores broader issues surrounding royal financial practices and the transparency of their business dealings.
