Prince Andrew is rumored to be considering fleeing to the Gulf in an attempt to find sanctuary and regain legitimacy following the recent scandal surrounding his association with an alleged Chinese spy. Sources close to the government of the United Arab Emirates claim that a recent visit by his daughter, Princess Beatrice, to Abu Dhabi was partly a cover for him. Andrew has longstanding links to the Gulf and is believed to see the region as an opportunity to make money and restore his reputation. The move raises questions about who is funding Andrew, with rumors suggesting that Middle Eastern money is keeping him financially afloat.
