Newly released US Department of Justice emails reveal Prince Andrew promoted David Rowland as his "trusted money man" to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as UK trade envoy. Epstein rejected the introduction after warnings about the "shady financier." Correspondence from September 2009 indicates Rowland funded Sarah Ferguson’s first-class flight to Nepal. Following these revelations, Andrew vacated Royal Lodge early for Sandringham, while Rowland’s Banque Havilland fights its 2024 license revocation.
