Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson are once again under water following the explosive new claims.
It has reportedly been suggested that the ex-couple once attracted the attention of Britain's intelligence services because of the controversial figures in the social circles.
According to Radar Online, British spy agency MI6 allegedly kept security files linked to the former Duke and Duchess of York as part of efforts to monitor individuals connected to powerful public figures.
Experts claim that the interest wasn't necessarily focused on the royals themselves but on the network of people surrounding them.
Furthermore, the alleged intelligence attention intensified due to Andrew and Sarah's link to Jeffrey Epstein.
A legal analyst stated, "In situations involving powerful or well-connected figures, the focus of intelligence work can shift toward the surrounding network rather than the person at the center, but Andrew and Sarah were on MI6's radar due to their associations with Epstein, and security files were kept on them."
"The purpose of such monitoring is often to understand who is interacting with whom and whether those relationships could pose risks or vulnerabilities, and Sarah and Andrew clearly had some very murky pals," they added.
On the other hand, this claim has even been backed by Andrew Lownie, who stated, "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson were monitored because of their associates."
Moreover, another royal historian noted, "Intelligence agencies operate within strict rules regarding members of the royal family, but those rules do not extend to the people who move within their orbit."
These revelations came as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's links to Jeffrey Epstein continue to cast a long shadow over the British monarchy.
