Queen pushed for ex-prince Andrew’s appointment as trade envoy, documents show
Documents released on Thursday indicate that Queen Elizabeth II advocated for her son, Prince Andrew, to be appointed as a government trade envoy in 2000. Andrew, also known as the Duke of York, served in this unpaid role from 2001 to 2011, traveling globally to meet business and government leaders. The release of these documents followed a parliamentary request, and there is no evidence that formal due diligence or security vetting was conducted for his appointment. AI
