Prince Andrew has been criticized for allegedly turning into a leech, when it comes to his multi-year exploit, which was covered in “arrogant,” “rude” and “surprisingly entitled” behavior.
The accusation has been brought by online radar and they claim that the former duke was the kind of man who liked to “get things for free.”
One former government official even spoke to the outlet and revealed that he was “clearly bored and underemployed” during the years the envoy was working in Britain’s special trade. because he often pressured the government “to fund his trips, on the basis that he was promoting the UK PLC”.
Even his unofficial biographer, Andrew Lownie, wrote in his book The Rise and Fall of the House of York: “He absolutely put pressure on the government to cover the costs. People approved things because they were royal. The Foreign Office didn’t feel they could do anything. The problem was that it wasn’t properly supervised.”
“Nobody knew who was in charge. So they left him to run his own business. He likes getting things for free. It’s getting back to the feeling of entitlement: that the taxpayer owes him everything.”
Former Scotland Yard director Dai Davies also spoke similarly, calling him “arrogant, rude and abrasive” while recalling an interaction in which he “wanted to speak to someone more senior than me. I remember saying to my wife afterwards: ‘God, that man is an arrogant so-and-so.'”
