Disgraced royal Prince Andrew allegedly relied on a vast network of staff, security, and social connections to “arrange girls” for sex — all while maintaining close ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, according to shocking new claims from royal biographer Andrew Lownie.
In his upcoming book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, Lownie reveals that Andrew, long known for his controversial behavior, often pressured aides and friends to find him women — specifically blondes and ballerinas. The revelations come just days after the prince surrendered his remaining royal titles amid renewed scrutiny tied to the Epstein scandal.
Lownie claims Andrew’s obsession with women was an “open secret” among palace insiders. “He would spy out an attractive ballerina at the Royal Ballet and then send his protection officer to invite her to meet the prince,” the author writes. Other accounts describe aides approaching women at nightclubs or inviting them to the prince’s private hotel suites while traveling abroad.
One British diplomat reportedly snapped after receiving such requests, saying, “I’m a diplomat, not a pimp.”
According to the book, even taxpayer-funded personal protection officers were occasionally drawn into Andrew’s pursuits — helping to arrange encounters that sometimes involved women he “didn’t realize were prostitutes.”
Lownie also details how Andrew exploited his royal role, especially his position as patron of the English National Ballet, where staff believed he used the post to meet dancers rather than promote the arts. “His main interest was in the dancers rather than ballet itself,” one official said.
The scandal has only deepened following the posthumous release of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, in which she reaffirmed that she was forced to have sex with Andrew on three occasions as part of Epstein’s trafficking network. Andrew settled Giuffre’s civil suit in 2022 for millions but has continued to deny all allegations.
Giuffre, who was found dead earlier this year at age 41, had long been one of the most outspoken Epstein survivors. Her sudden death has reignited public outrage — and renewed focus on Andrew’s past connections to Epstein and Maxwell, both of whom were convicted or accused of trafficking minors.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has attempted to downplay the growing scandal surrounding the unsealed Epstein documents, calling them a “Democrat hoax” designed to smear political rivals and public figures. Trump, who himself had a history of socializing with Epstein before distancing himself, has denied any wrongdoing or involvement in the disgraced financier’s crimes.
Despite Trump’s denials, the Epstein network continues to ensnare powerful figures across politics, finance, and royalty — and Andrew’s downfall stands as one of its most visible casualties.
The prince’s decision to relinquish his royal titles last week — including the Duke of York designation — underscores the mounting pressure from Buckingham Palace to protect the monarchy’s image. In a statement, Andrew said he was stepping back because “continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.”
