Prince Andrew ‘doesn't have much time’ before Prince William pushes him even further into the royal background
Prince Andrew was blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein, seduced by a Russian spy with a bugged laptop, and shared lovers with Bill Clinton, all according to new explosive claims from a royal biographer.
In an interview promoting his book, The Rise and Fall of the House of York, Andrew Lownie alleged the disgraced Duke of York was “over-sexed”, with as many as 3000 lovers and “too stupid to realise how stupid he is”.
Mr Lownie said the Queen’s second son viewed himself as a sex god because women “threw themselves” at him. However, the sense of entitlement combined with his high profile left him vulnerable to foreign powers and predators like Epstein.

Mr Lownie spent over four years researching for the book and claimed that Prince Andrew was compromised by spies from Russia, Libya, the Middle East and Kazakhstan, and all of whom allegedly have “kompromat” on the prince. One Russian agent allegedly seduced Prince Andrew, loaned him £25,000 ($A51,500) interest-free to pay for one of his daughters’ trip to Switzerland.
‘She gave him a Mac computer which was bugged’, his biographer has said.
Mr Lownie also claimed that Prince Andrew was a security liability during his time in the Royal Navy, cheating his way through exams, clashing with superiors, and ignoring standard rules and protocol, the Daily Mail reported.
Mr Lownie argues that there is no way back for the Duke, who was stripped of his titles in 2022 following the Epstein scandal and a $16 million civil settlement with Virginia Giuffre.
‘When William comes to power, Andrew will be toast. He sees him as a liability to the monarchy and Andrew has not always been very polite about Catherine. William is very protective of his wife’, the author and journalist said.
Prince Andrew, he claims, feels no remorse.
‘He generally feels he’s innocent of anything he did with Virginia Giuffre and others. I think he just feels that he’s been unfairly treated and he’s entitled to do some of the things he’s doing’, he said.
