Andrew Mountbatten Windsor may have been compromised by Russian intelligence, royal author Andrew Lownie has claimed, escalating his ongoing scandal into a matter of national security. Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, he revealed: “I’ve got quite a lot of material from the intelligence officials with reports on Andrew, corruption, dated in fact, January this year, talking about his involvement and how he’d been compromised by Russian intelligence.”
Mr Lownie added: “And we’ve always had these Chinese spies around him, the alleged spy… So I think this is the way the thing is going.” He continued: “I’m getting more information about military secrets and other secrets that seem to have been divulged, as well as commercial ones.” He warned: “I think there are signs he gave away secrets to foreign powers and that the Royal Family was penetrated by the Russian and Chinese intelligence services, because there was no oversight or accountability… This is going to go on for years and open up a huge can of worms and it’s going to get closer and closer to the King.” Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been approached for comment.
