A shocking new biography about Prince Andrew has unveiled a series of startling revelations — from alleged sexual exploits to his long and troubling friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Titled Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, the book by royal historian Andrew Lownie explores Andrew’s jet-set lifestyle, his dependence on his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and the extent of his relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender.
According to Lownie, Prince Andrew’s connection to Epstein was “far longer and much closer” than the Duke of York has ever publicly admitted. While Andrew previously claimed they first met in 1999, the author alleges the two became acquainted almost a decade earlier — and that Epstein kept “16 different telephone numbers” for the royal.
Sarah Ferguson’s Connection

Lownie also claims that Sarah Ferguson, who was married to Andrew from 1986 to 1996, maintained her own close ties with Epstein.
“She flew on his planes, she stayed in his houses,” the author says. “She was still staying in his apartments after 2010, long after claiming she had cut all ties. She said she’d have nothing further to do with him — yet there she was.”
The Duke of York previously admitted helping arrange for Epstein to pay off $20,000 of Ferguson’s debts, describing them as “ever-present.” But Lownie disputes that figure, claiming an ex-girlfriend of Andrew told him the real sum was closer to $2 million.
“I wouldn’t be surprised,” Lownie adds. “Fergie has a long history of racking up enormous debts and squandering millions.”
In 2011, Ferguson said she “deeply regretted” Epstein’s involvement and promised to repay the money, vowing to have “nothing ever to do with him again.”
A Web of Connections
Lownie traces the beginnings of Andrew’s relationship with Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite who introduced the two. Maxwell — the daughter of media mogul Robert Maxwell — is now serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking minors for Epstein.
“Ghislaine was always going to Buckingham Palace,” Lownie claims. “Andrew was bypassing security. He told staff to let her in freely — and even insisted others, including escorts, be admitted without checks.”
A photo later surfaced showing Maxwell and actor Kevin Spacey posing on thrones inside Buckingham Palace in 2002.
“There’s an extraordinary triangular dynamic between Epstein, Ghislaine, and Andrew,” Lownie says. “One of Ghislaine’s friends told me Epstein rather liked the idea that the three of them were intertwined.”
Disturbing Allegations

The author also includes accounts from Epstein’s former staff. One, identified as Ivan Novikov, claimed he ferried Prince Andrew to the Gansevoort Hotel in New York alongside “two young girls around eighteen,” both allegedly using cocaine. Despite being a known teetotaler, Novikov said Andrew was “making out with one of them.”
A former Epstein housekeeper reportedly told Lownie that she found sex toys in Andrew’s bedroom, along with envelopes of cash — “anywhere from one to twenty-five thousand dollars” — allegedly left by Epstein “for young women.”
Public Denials
Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and expressed “deep sympathy” for Epstein’s victims.
In 2019, he gave a widely criticized interview to the BBC in which he denied ever having sex with Virginia Giuffre, who has accused him of sexual assault when she was a teenager trafficked by Epstein. “I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady,” he said — despite a now-infamous photograph showing him with Giuffre, with Maxwell smiling in the background.
Lownie, however, portrays Andrew as a “sex addict,” claiming he may have had relations with “between one thousand and three thousand” women — many allegedly introduced through Epstein. The book even alleges the prince lost his virginity at age 11 and has been “obsessed with women ever since.”
Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York is due for release this fall, and is already sending shockwaves through royal circles with its explosive claims and intimate look at the Duke of York’s controversial life.
