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.
