Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s controversial behaviour toward women and girls has resurfaced following another wave of scandal tied to his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie, in his bombshell book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the Yorks, outlines deeply embarrassing claims from witnesses who say Andrew routinely behaved in ways intended to “annoy, provoke, and humiliate women and girls” at social events, according to the Mail.
One of the most detailed recollections comes from writer Craig Brown, who said he encountered Andrew at a house party in Scotland when the prince was just 17.
Brown described the encounter in a resurfaced 2019 article, writing: “The only time I ever encountered Prince Andrew was more than 40 years ago, at a large house party in Scotland. I was 19 years old, so he would have been about 17.”
“Over breakfast, three pretty girls who were sharing a bedroom told the rest of us that the Prince had barged into their room in the early hours of the morning, saying: ‘There’s a ghost in my room, so I’m going to have to sleep here.’”
“Needless to say, they booted him out, and for the rest of his stay he was that stock figure of English comedy, popularised by Benny Hill, the pompous oaf whose lascivious moves make him a laughing stock. Prince Andrew was young then and he is old now, but, judging by the recent events, he has yet to learn his lesson.”
According to Lownie, similar stories from Andrew’s youth show an unsettling pattern. A journalist claimed Andrew walked into a girl’s bathroom while she brushed her teeth to “lecture” her on the proper brushing technique.
Another woman said she awoke to a laughing Andrew pointing a fire extinguisher at her, adding that he had carried out the same prank in every other girl’s room that night.
