How Andrew And Fergie Tried To Use The Palace In Their Scheme With The Fraudster

The Epstein Chronicles

Prince Andrew’s handling of the now-infamous £750,000 payment came under renewed scrutiny when reports revealed he instructed bankers with questions about the transfer to “call Buckingham Palace.” According to coverage of the incident, when compliance officers at the bank sought clarification about the large sum—sent by Andrew’s associate to Sarah Ferguson, and widely viewed as suspicious—Andrew chose not to provide details himself. Instead, he deflected inquiries to the palace, implying that the matter was official or sanctioned at an institutional level. This response immediately raised internal red flags, as banks rely on clear justification for high-value transfers, not royal name-dropping.
The request to route all concerns to Buckingham Palace was seen by investigators as an attempt to use royal authority to sidestep standard financial scrutiny. Rather than easing the bank’s concerns, Andrew’s instruction heightened them, triggering further internal reviews and outside attention. The incident became one more example of how Andrew relied on the aura of royal privilege to manage controversies—an approach that ultimately collapsed once the Epstein scandal and subsequent civil case forced transparency. The £750,000 episode now stands as a pivotal moment showing how Andrew tried, unsuccessfully, to shield questionable financial dealings behind the palace gates.
