EXCLUSIVE: We Reveal Royal Family's Other Biggest Scandals — But None Are Worse Than Andrew Windsor's Epstein Disgrace
Decades of royal chaos pale beside the questions now confronting the palace.
Former Prince Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein have exploded into a royal crisis so toxic, even the monarchy’s long history of scandal can’t compete.
And now, we’re breaking down The Firm’s most shameful and jaw-dropping chapters.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, stepped back from public life in 2019 after his friendship with the convicted sex offender erupted into a global controversy.
The damage intensified following his BBC Newsnight interview, in which he claimed he was unable to sweat and insisted he had been at a Pizza Express on the night he was accused of sleeping with a trafficked teenager.
Days later, he withdrew from royal duties.
Then in 2022, he reached an out-of-court settlement with Epstein sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre in a U.S. civil case, without admitting liability.
Queen Elizabeth II stripped him of his military titles and royal patronages, and he no longer uses the style “His Royal Highness” in any official capacity. Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing.
The scale of reputational fallout may feel unprecedented, but scandal has shadowed the monarchy for generations.
