Prince Andrew's ex breaks silence on attending his bombshell biography launch
Andrew's ex shut down the ban chatter, insisting she “was not planning on going anywhere near that party"
Prince Andrew’s former flame Lady Victoria Hervey has hit back at reports she was “barred” from the London launch of Andrew Lownie’s explosive new book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.
The author is hosting a party at The London Library tonight, but Daily Mail columnist Richard Eden claimed PR veteran Brian Basham’s request to bring Lady Victoria as his plus-one was rejected, allegedly with the line: “She’s barred.”
In a statement to the Daily Express, the socialite shut down the ban chatter, insisting she “definitely was not planning on going anywhere near that party.”
She added the idea she’d attend was a private joke with Basham, “I said I would come in a wig!”, before blasting Lownie as having “a really unhealthy obsession with the Yorks,” and praising Jacob Rees-Mogg’s interview with the author as “brilliant TV.”
Hervey, daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol and one-time ‘It Girl’, has long acknowledged her 1999 romance with Prince Andrew and connections to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
She previously spoke in ITV’s Ghislaine, Prince Andrew & the Paedophile, and told Eden in 2023 that working around the Maxwell saga in the US felt “dangerous,” adding she’d been “glad to get back to the UK.”
As for Lownie’s York tell-all, Buckingham Palace has not commented, and Andrew’s camp has stayed quiet.
