Andrew ‘must repay taxpayer cash he used for massages’, Reeves blasts | Royal | News
Rachel Reeves has called on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to repay any misused public funds. The 66-year-old disgraced royal held the UK Trade Envoy role for a decade, during which he was responsible for promoting business interests overseas.
When quizzed on whether Andrew should pay back any misused funds, Ms Reeves told The i Paper: “Of course”.
Discussing her fellow Cabinet Minister Sir Chris Bryant’s comments branding Andrew as “rude, arrogant and entitledโ, Ms Reeves was asked if she agreed.
She said: “Well, Iโve never met [Andrew] and I think thatโs probably for the best.”
The late paedophile Jeffrey Epsteinโs former housekeeper, Juan Alessi, previously testified that Andrew had “daily massages” at Epstein’s Florida home.
In a separate claim, a masseuse alleged that she gave Andrew a naked massage and added that this was paid for by the Royal Family.
Andrew’s arrest was due to fears over the chance of a “cover-upโ of Andrewโs behaviour during his friendship with Epstein.
Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged following his arrest.
