A leading royal biographer who spent years researching Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has claimed that the disgraced royal would bring sex workers to Buckingham Palace
Disgraced Andrew brought sex workers into Buckingham Palace “for years,” it has been claimed, and the late Queen allegedly knew about it.
The King’s brother, now forever known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, was stripped of his royal titles and honours last month, marking the first time in 100 years that a dukedom has been taken away from a royal. He was also told to vacate his 30-room mansion, Royal Lodge, and is expected to move out in the New Year.
Andrew has been mired in scandal ever since his connections to paedophile financer Jeffrey Epstein came to light, but when it emerged recently that he had lied about exactly when he cut contact with the late sex offender, Charles took formal action to exile him for good. Andrew vehemently denies all claims against him.

Troubling claims about Andrew’s life behind closed doors have also surfaced, including alleged bullying of staff, a ‘life of excess’ and bizarre demands. And now an author who exposed Andrew’s alleged behaviour before he was stripped of his titles has come forward with more shocking claims.
Andrew Lownie wrote a bombshell biography on Andrew and his ex wife Sarah Ferguson that hit the shelves just before their downfall, detailing claims about their illicit affairs and murky finances. But now he’s claimed that Andrew’s actions at the Palace went even further than many could imagine.
Speaking to NewsNation, Lownie alleged: “He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years. It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done.”
Security officers were allegedly told to “keep quiet” if they complained – or risk being demoted. Lownie also claims that the late monarch was aware of what was happening. “Of course the Queen knew [about Andrew’s proclivities]. She was informed,” Lownie continued. “But he was her favourite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug – until now.” Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
The author went on to say he’s been getting “more and more information every day” from people close to Andrew since his title was officially taken away. “They are no longer scared to talk or come out and tell the world what really happened now that Andrew has been removed from power,” Lownie said. “Now that he is no longer protected by the Queen.”
It echoes comments Lownie made exclusively to the Reach PLC this week, when he said: “I’m hearing from protection officers, diplomats, people in the Navy. I’m getting two or three people a day.”
He further said that there have been so many new revelations that he’s not only working on a new, expanded edition of his bombshell exposé, but he now has enough material for a second volume. He explained: “I also have plans to do a sequel called Untitled … I’ve just got so much new material from people coming forward.”
He added that people who might in the past have remained silent on the former Duke of York have now decided that they want to be “on the right side of history”.
“It’s suddenly opened the floodgates,” Lownie claimed, adding that while Andrew lived a charmed life, he “succumbed to all the forbidden fruits” and wasted any potential he had: “No-one warned him, and now he’s paying the price.”
He also predicted that Andrew’s internal exile in Norfolk won’t be enough to distance him from further accusations to come. “I personally don’t think that he’s going to end up in Sandringham,” Lownie said. “I think he will flee to the Middle East or somewhere, probably like King Juan Carlos. But that’s only me speculating, of course.”
