There could be more trouble ahead for Prince Andrew, who was last week stripped of his Duke of York title. According to a source, the disgraced royal could face trial over his alleged ties to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which have been brought back into the spotlight following the release of accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl.
Prince Andrew is continuing to tarnish the monarchy’s legacy
Speaking on The Telegraph’s The Daily T podcast, royal biographer Andrew Lownie suggested that Prince Andrew has caused “huge reputational damage to the monarchy” and is headed for a “serious crisis”.
“I think this is probably the most serious crisis for the monarchy since the abdication,” said the biographer, pointing to Edward VIII’s decision to step down as King in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Andrew is actually put on trial,” he went on. “There’s going to be more damaging revelations. There are going to be more of these leaked emails. There’s another victim’s memoir coming out next month.”
The author questioned “who knows” what might be revealed next, adding that Virginia’s memoir is potentially just the beginning. He then suggested other victims might come forward.
Next, the biographer noted how Prince Andrew previously “refused to cooperate” in the case against his former friend, Jeffrey. Given that friendship, the expert said he hopes Andrew would testify if asked again because “[he] would have seen a lot of things and could be very useful.”
Despite being photographed with her in a now-infamous image, Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied having any involvement with Virginia. However, in February 2022, he settled his civil sexual assault lawsuit with her out of court. Sadly, Virginia allegedly took her own life earlier this year, just months before the release of her much-anticipated memoir.
