Andrew Mountbatten Windsor could face jail time, according to royal biographer Andrew Lownie

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, is reportedly under investigation by British authorities and could face jail time, according to explosive new claims by royal biographer Andrew Lownie.

In a recent interview with NewsNation’s Paula Froelich, Lownie alleged that investigators are preparing multiple charges against the former Duke of York, including misconduct in public office and other public offences.

“He’ll probably go to jail....the case against him is pretty clear,” Lownie said. “He’s toast”.

Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, claims Andrew brought sex workers into Buckingham Palace over several years while serving as a senior royal.

Palace staff were allegedly instructed to remain silent.

“It was done on a regular basis,” Lownie said.

“People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done. The security that complained were told, ‘If you would like to go back on the beat (in) Brixton, you have that choice, but otherwise you keep quiet.’”

According to Lownie, Queen Elizabeth II was aware of her son’s behaviour but chose not to act.

“The Queen knew. She was informed. But he was her favourite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug. Until now.”

King Charles strips Andrew of titles

In response to mounting pressure and renewed scrutiny over Andrew’s connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles III initiated a formal process to strip his brother of all royal titles and honours.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the move in a statement on October 30.

“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,” the statement read.

“Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.”

The palace emphasised its support for victims, stating, “These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies remain with the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”

New allegations surface

Lownie revealed that more insiders are now coming forward with accounts of Andrew’s conduct.

“I am getting more and more information every day from people who worked at the Palace and in the Government,” he said.

“They are no longer scared to talk or come out and tell the world what really happened now that Andrew has been removed from power and now that he is no longer protected by the Queen.”

While the investigation is unlikely to result in sex trafficking charges, Lownie suggested financial impropriety may be central to the case.

Andrew served as the UK’s special trade envoy from 2001 to 2011, a role that saw him rubbing shoulders with figures from countries such as Libya, Kazakhstan and Laos.

During these trips, he allegedly bypassed embassy accommodations in favour of five-star hotels, racking up exorbitant expenses.

Authorities are also reviewing claims that Andrew pressured a police officer in 2011 to obtain private information about his accuser, Virginia Giuffre.

Fergie also under scrutiny

Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is also facing separate investigations over alleged misuse of charitable funds, according to Lownie.

The biographer claims Ferguson used proceeds from book deals and endorsements for personal gain.

“She’s been basically using charities to make money,” he said. “So, she’s going to be in trouble there.”

Possible exile

As investigations intensify, the couple, who divorced in 1996 but continued living together, are reportedly preparing to leave the United Kingdom.

Lownie speculated Andrew may relocate to the United Arab Emirates, while Ferguson is expected to divide her time between Portugal, Switzerland, and London.
