A new wave of revelations strikes the British royal family, with the Daily Mail bringing to light information that, according to the report, shows that King Charles had been informed as early as 2019 about his brother’s business dealings and connections, Prince Andrew. The report mentions official emails sent to the Palace, which referred to “misuse” of the royal family’s name.
The email that, according to the Daily Mail, reached the Palace
According to the report, an informant sent an official email through the law firm Farrer & Co, warning that the royal family’s name was allegedly being used to promote business interests connected to Prince Andrew. As stated, the controversial message referred to “misuse of the royal family’s name” by millionaire David Rowland, who allegedly maintained a close relationship with Andrew. Moreover, according to the same report, a second email was sent to Palace associates, reinforcing the warnings.

Claims about business benefits
The Daily Mail claims that the informant alleged Andrew’s actions “show that His Highness considers his relationship with Rowland more important than that with his family.” The report goes even further, stating that Rowland allegedly paid Andrew to secure a banking license in Luxembourg for his private bank Banque Havilland, a claim that, according to the newspaper, was accompanied by bank account evidence. For his part, Rowland allegedly stated he “has no idea” about the specific email and characterized as a “foolish claim” the possibility that someone could “secure” a banking license.
Official travels and business contacts
During the period 2001 to 2011, when Andrew served as Britain’s special trade envoy, Rowland and his son allegedly participated in official trips to countries including China and former Soviet states. According to the report, Andrew allegedly informed Rowland about business opportunities arising from his missions, while attempting to facilitate his financial transactions.

The Epstein case and new pressures
The revelations come at a time of intense pressure for the royal family, following Andrew’s arrest and involvement in the Epstein scandal. Although he has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, British media continue to resurface with new evidence and allegations. The question that now arises is whether the Palace was aware of the accusations as early as 2019 and how the related warnings were handled.
