The UK government is under parliamentary scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s use of public funds, as Labour peer George Foulkes pushes for greater transparency in royal finances. Foulkes has questioned ministers about Ministry of Defence briefings given to Andrew after his Royal Navy service and during his role as Special Representative for International Trade. He has also sought details on the royal family’s annual security costs. The inquiry comes amid growing concerns about Andrew’s financial activities and the limited parliamentary oversight of monarchy-related expenses since the introduction of the sovereign grant in 2012.
