Andrew’s connections to Epstein have long cast a shadow over his royal role. In a BBC Newsnight interview, the former prince admitted to visiting Epstein’s private island and staying at his Manhattan residence in December 2010, after Epstein had already served a prison sentence as a registered sex offender. Andrew claims he went to New York intending to end his friendship with Epstein but remained in the city for several days.

Earlier this year, Virginia Giuffre, who had filed a civil suit alleging Andrew sexually assaulted her as a minor, passed away. Andrew had settled the lawsuit in 2022 for an undisclosed sum reported to be around $16 million, despite maintaining that he never met Giuffre.

New Allegations Surface

Royal biographer Andrew Lownie has now raised fresh claims against the former prince, alleging that for years he brought sex workers into Buckingham Palace. Lownie told NewsNation, “He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years. It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done. Staff were allegedly told to ‘keep it quiet.’”

The biographer further claimed that the late Queen was aware of these activities, adding, “But he was her favourite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug — until now.” Lownie suggested that with Andrew no longer shielded by the Queen, more individuals feel able to speak out about his alleged conduct.

Despite denying all new allegations, Andrew remains in the public eye, with scrutiny showing no signs of abating.
