Amid increasing public scrutiny and scandals surrounding Prince Andrew, Labour peer Lord Foulkes is calling for reforms to parliamentary rules that currently limit discussions about the royal family. He contends that the palace's influence has obstructed attempts to address concerns about royal activities, particularly regarding financial mismanagement and connections to controversial figures like Jeffrey Epstein. Foulkes argues for a public register of royal interests to ensure accountability, especially as taxpayer funding for royal duties is set to rise significantly. The current rules restrict discussions to merely the costs incurred by the crown, which Foulkes believes is inadequate.
Lord Foulkes emphasized the need for parliamentary change regarding scrutiny of the royal family, especially following the continuing controversies surrounding Prince Andrew.
Foulkes highlighted that current rules hinder discussions about royal finances and misdeeds, limiting scrutiny to taxpayer costs, which he deems insufficient.
