Prince Andrew has been dealt a severe financial blow as he prepares to face the horrifying possibility of being forced to pay for his sexual assault accuser.
I can reveal that a business controlled by the Queen’s second son has plunged into £200,000 of debt.
According to new accounts, Urramoor Ltd which was used for managing investments fell deeper into red.
Prince Andrew faces a U.S. court case that could be very costly. Virginia Roberts lists him as having’significant control or influence over the trustees for a trust’ under the name of HRH Andrew Inverness.

His use of Inverness (which stems from the title Earl Of Inverness) led to concerns that he might be trying to avoid being scrutinized over his involvement.
Andrew was asked by the Queen last week not to use his HRH name in any official capacity.
Buckingham Palace also confirmed that the plaintiff would be him as a private citizen.
Urramoor Ltd., which was founded in 2013, was 18 months after Jeffery Epstein (a financier who was sentenced for child sex crimes) forced him to resign as UK trade envoy.
The company it was associated with used to call it the “private investment bureau of HRH Duke of York”.
Arthur Lancaster, a chartered accountant and director of the company, signs off the paperwork covering the twelve months ending March 2013.
Virginia Roberts has brought a US court case that is extremely damaging to Prince Andrew. Buckingham Palace confirmed that Andrew would face the lawsuit as a private citizen.
Ms. Roberts claimed that Epstein had sex on her and forced her to go out with him three times. This was in 2001, when she turned 17.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Prince Andrew had sold his £17 million Swiss chalet, enabling him to pay off a £6.7 million debt with French socialite Isabelle de Rouvre.
It also left him with around £10 million, which some believe could be needed for the court action over his alleged relationship with Ms Roberts.
According to her, Epstein sex-trafficked her and forced her to have sex with him three times in 2001 when she was 17.
Andrew has denied Andrew’s claims.
