Prince Andrew Secures Lucrative Deal with Startupbootcamp

Prince Andrew has secured a lucrative deal with the Dutch firm Startupbootcamp, marking his first professional engagement since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. Under this partnership, Andrew will leverage connections made through his Pitch@Palace initiative to facilitate networking opportunities, which could potentially earn him millions. This agreement comes as King Charles has cut off Andrew's annual funding of £1 million, pushing him to find alternative financial sources to maintain his residence at Royal Lodge. Startupbootcamp aims to reignite Andrew's global network, particularly in regions like the Middle East and Asia, and has expressed confidence in the value of his connections. Despite ongoing controversies surrounding his past, including ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Startupbootcamp's CEO has voiced support for Andrew's new role. However, concerns persist regarding the financial health of the Pitch@Palace initiative following significant withdrawals from its funds.
