Prince Andrew: scandal magnet
Earlier in the week, he positioned himself front and center as the queen’s favored support at Prince Philip’s memorial service, leading to “dismay” from senior royals. Now Prince Andrew finds himself in a more familiar position: the subject of a financial scandal, after reportedly receiving £1 million ($1.31 million) from an alleged fraudster. His wife, Sarah Ferguson, also reportedly received payments from former banker Selman Turk. Princess Eugenie also allegedly received payments, although she and her mother have pleaded ignorance about Turk’s alleged activities.
