Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's reality TV star ex has sparked fury after moaning that she had been left down to her "last £20,000" a few years back. Andrew's ex, Real Housewives of Dubai star Caroline Stanbury, dated the former Prince from 2000 to 2001 following his divorce from Sarah Ferguson.

Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after information from the Epstein files was released, but he strongly denies any wrongdoing. Speaking on her podcast Uncut & Uncensored, Caroline opened up about her finances, as she revealed she went through a tough time with her money a few years ago. She said: "I was down to my last 20 grand about four years ago. Barely, you know, had rent. I couldn’t pay anything and had to sell as much as I could, you know, to fund everything and start again.

"So I and you know my partner with all due respect, who I love dearly was 20 years younger. It’s not like he could bail out an entire family. So I didn’t have that nest."

She is married to former Spanish footballer Sergio Carrallo, who she married in 2021.

Caroline's remark about being down to her last £20,000 sparked backlash, as fans raged that she was being "tone deaf". One fan hit out saying: ” Down to my last 20k, mate try being down to your last tenner.”

Another listener said: ” 20k till the divorce pennies came in!!!!” A third person added: “Down to my last 20 grand, hang on I’ll find my violin.”

Meanwhile, a fourth fan said: “Boo boo, I never [had] 20k.”

Since Andrew's mentions in the Epstein files, Caroline has been in the headlines as she was recently flagged by the FBI as a “female to talk to”, in released documents, but this does not suggest she has done anything wrong.

Email exchanges from 2019 have indicated that FBI agents based identified Caroline by her former married name, Caroline Habib, as she was married to billionaire Çem Habi, they mapped out Jeffrey Epstein’s social web.
