‘He is an absolute fool’. . . anger at Andrew’s debts as ski chalet sale frozen

The alleged debt could potentially put a block on the sale of his £17million chalet, which is believed to be funding the settlement he agreed with his sex abuse accuser.

Details of the Swiss couple are being kept secret but they have won the sympathy of a French socialite who was once owed millions by the Duke of York.

Isabelle de Rouvre, 74, branded Andrew “an absolute fool” and said: “I do not understand how he operates and I feel very sorry for people who are involved with him in business.”

Ms de Rouvre sold Chalet Helora in Verbier, Switzerland, to Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in 2014 for £18million.

But they apparently failed to pay a cash amount of £5million.
