A classified US intelligence assessment reportedly put together on ex-Prince Andrew describes how Russian intelligence officers regarded the disgraced blue-blood as both a “useful idiot” and the British Royal Family’s “weak link.” The document claims that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (AMW) was drawn into Moscow’s orbit thanks to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which the Kremlin allegedly used as a route into the British establishment. A source familiar with the report told the Daily Mail: “AMW was not blackmailed or otherwise coerced into this role—rather, he was a willing participant in these schemes due to financial, sexual, and personal reward.” Russian intelligence exploited his “sexual proclivities” and “long-standing hatred of his brother Charles” to use him as a front, providing legitimacy to corrupt operations worldwide. The disclosures surfaced just days after British lawmakers tore into Andrew’s record and pressed ministers on his decade-long spell as Britain’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment. Andrew Lownie, a biographer of the former Duke of York, told the Mail: “It is now clear that US intelligence agencies believe Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was used by both Russian and Chinese spies to further their influence.”
