Prince Andrew Saw ’40 Escorts’ In Thailand During One Taxpayer-Funded Trip

When Prince Andrew gave up his royal titles last week, it was a sign that more stories were about to break regarding his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the all-round debauchery he’d gotten up to over the years.

Sure enough, royal biographer Andrew Lownie has now claimed that Andrew had 40 escorts ‘brought to him’ during one trip to Thailand, which was connected to his UK-funded trade ambassador role.

Ian Proud, former head of the political section at the UK Embassy, has echoed the story, stating that Prince Andrew would visit Thailand any chance he could for ‘royal engagements’, stay in a hotel rather than the British embassy, and make sure he had himself a good time while he was out there.

Proud said: ‘The prince would come out principally for royal engagements, such as for the Thai king’s jubilee in 2006, but he also came out after the tsunami, to show support for the Thai government.

‘He also came out on private trips to see his bits of fluff on the side, where we played a much lighter role in stewarding him through.

‘When he was here on official business he very obviously liked to have his own private space, and not to be housed in the embassy itself, but to live off compound.

‘When I was there he preferred a particular high end hotel because he liked the nightclub in the basement there with the floozies and so on.’ 

The former Duke of York even had one regular Thai girl who he liked so much that he took her on a trip to Chiang Mai.

Proud added: ‘The prince had one regular lady who he took on a private, side trip to Chiang Mai, where they stayed in a hotel and used his official car, but otherwise he was basically larging it in the hotel.  

‘He was there on business of course, and he did it very well actually.  

‘But when he wasn’t working, he was entertaining himself in other, much more exotic ways, and this is where the book’s descriptions of conveyor belts of women comes in. The Thais revere monarchy — or at least the previous monarch as the jury is out on the current one — and when he wasn’t working he had an open playing field, with people quite happily turning a blind eye because he was a British prince.

‘For the prince, it was a very permissive environment, even though Thailand is actually a very socially conservative country despite the headlines.’  

On the 40 escorts story in particular: ‘The only question about the 40 escorts story is whether they were all escorts or were they high-class Thai girls wanting to have a bit of a cuddle with a prince, that’s my personal view.’

Prince Andrew announced on Saturday that he would be giving up his royal titles following ‘discussions with the King’, and it’s no wonder following the media sh1t-storm this week.

It’s actually surprising that he managed to hold onto his titles for so long, and that he wasn’t stripped of them years ago. Did the monarchy actually think there was a chance he could redeem his reputation? I mean, there’s really no saving face in a situation where your name is irreversibly linked with human trafficking and paedophilia, is there?

Well anyway, more Prince Andrew stories to come in the following weeks, no doubt. Maybe we’ll hear he got some ladyboy action too?
