Yo, SoCal fam, buckle up for some serious tea straight from across the pond that’s got everyone in LA buzzing louder than a Sunset Strip club on a Friday night. Andrew Lownie’s latest drop, 'Entitled: The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York,' is a 450-page bombshell that paints Prince Andrew, Duke of York and King Charles III’s younger bro, as the ultimate royal hot mess. We’re talking short-tempered vibes, vanity on fleek, and a rep for arrogance that could rival any Hollywood diva strutting down the Walk of Fame.
This ain’t just gossip - it’s the real deal, backed by court docs, freedom of info releases, and insider chats with ex-staffers. Lownie spent four years digging into the dirt on this 'spoilt prince' and his duchess, Sarah Ferguson, who’s portrayed as chasing clout harder than an influencer at Coachella. Released today by Harper Collins, excerpts already hit the Daily Mail, and trust, this read is spicier than a Venice Beach taco truck special.
Oh, and the timing? Savage. A recent YouGov poll shows Andrew as the most unpopular royal in the UK, with two-thirds of Brits ready to strip him of his last titles - especially after Queen Elizabeth II already yanked his military honors back in 2022. This book ain’t gonna help his PR game, fam.
Let’s get into the juiciest bit that’s got everyone from Malibu to DTLA shook - Andrew’s creepy connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Lownie’s book claims their friendship was way tighter than the prince ever let on, dating back almost a decade before Andrew’s public '1999 meeting' story. The author straight-up calls Andrew 'easy prey' for a predator like Epstein, who used the royal for street cred, political access, and biz opps.
Shady much? Lownie even alleges Epstein sold Andrew’s deepest secrets to foreign intel, including Israel’s Mossad and Saudi authorities. Plus, Epstein’s ex-driver, Ivan Novikov, dropped a bombshell about chauffeuring the prince with two young girls to a NYC hotel, where things allegedly got wild. And don’t forget the late Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of assault alongside Epstein - claims he denied in that infamous 2019 BBC Newsnight flop of an interview, despite photos proving they’d met.
Giuffre’s 2021 lawsuit against Andrew settled out of court in 2022 for an undisclosed amount, but her tragic passing this year at 41 adds a heartbreaking layer to this Hollywood-level drama. Lownie’s got receipts, and they’re messier than a reality TV reunion.
“Prince Andrew thought he could play the game, but Epstein played him like a cheap fiddle - it’s a cautionary tale for anyone chasing power in all the wrong places,” a royal watcher commented on the explosive revelations.
Switching gears, Lownie doesn’t hold back on Andrew’s rep as a straight-up tyrant to his staff. Picture this: the dude allegedly cussed out a royal employee as a 'f*cking imbecile' just for skipping the Queen Mother’s full title. Talk about petty with a capital P - this ain’t the chill SoCal vibe we’re used to.
The book dishes on more of Andrew’s alleged cruelty, like firing someone over a nylon tie (seriously?) and another for having a mole on their face. He even had security guards playing fetch with his golf balls. Lownie writes, 'He could be unbelievably cruel,' and honestly, it’s giving major villain energy - like something out of a Netflix drama shot in the Hollywood Hills.
These stories paint a picture of a man who’s been out of touch since day one, making even the most entitled LA influencers look humble. It’s no wonder folks are side-eyeing his every move harder than a paparazzi stakeout on Rodeo Drive.
Now, let’s talk family drama that’s juicier than a Melrose Avenue brunch gossip sesh. Lownie claims Prince Harry and Andrew got into it big time at a 2013 family gathering, with punches thrown and Harry allegedly giving his uncle a bloody nose. The trigger? Andrew trash-talking Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle, calling her an 'opportunist' and betting it wouldn’t last a month.
But wait, there’s more. The book suggests Buckingham Palace has been dodging complaints about Andrew’s bullying and impossible demands for years. Word is, a report on bullying claims against Meghan in 2021 never dropped because it’d also expose Andrew’s own toxic behavior. Talk about a royal cover-up with more layers than an In-N-Out burger.
This clash is just another log on the fire of dysfunction Lownie’s exposing. It’s like watching a reality show where everyone’s got a secret - except this one’s playing out in palaces instead of Calabasas mansions.
Hold onto your avocado toast, LA, because Andrew’s personal life reads like a scandalous script straight out of a West Hollywood writers’ room. Lownie dubs him a 'sex addict,' claiming he’s been with anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 women, many through Epstein’s network. During his marriage to Sarah Ferguson, which kicked off in 1986 while he was in the Royal Navy, Andrew allegedly spent more time 'elsewhere' than home - and Sarah wasn’t having it.
One ex-driver spills that 'Randy Andy' hooked up with over a dozen women before their first anniversary. Lownie also drops wild claims like Andrew losing his virginity at 11 and being obsessed with women, plus a Bangkok hotel stay where staff were stunned by over 10 women a day rolling through his room. It’s the kind of excess that’d even make a Vegas club promoter blush.
These revelations aren’t just tabloid fodder - they’re a deep dive into a lifestyle that’s as far from royal duty as you can get. It’s giving major 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' energy, except the whole world’s watching now.
Lastly, let’s talk cash - because Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s financial schemes are messier than LA traffic on a Monday morning. Lownie exposes Sarah’s hustle, like her deal with Hello! magazine post-Princess Diana’s 1997 passing, allegedly netting $134,000 a month to spill her life deets. That’s some serious influencer-level coin for the ‘80s.
But Andrew’s the real headliner here. As the UK’s Special Rep for International Trade and Investment from 2001-2011, he rubbed shoulders with leaders from Azerbaijan to Libya, reportedly begging for gifts like a Faberge egg. Lownie says Queen Elizabeth II knew about his shady deals but played the 'if he’s not caught, it’s fine' card - a classic look-the-other-way move that’s got everyone raising eyebrows.
From shady handouts to straight-up grifting, 'Entitled' isn’t just a takedown of Andrew - it’s a peek into the rot at the heart of 'The Firm.' Lownie’s book, out now, is the ultimate read for anyone obsessed with royal drama, proving that even in palaces far from our SoCal shores, loyalty often trumps accountability. Grab your copy and spill your thoughts - this is one beach read hotter than a Santa Monica summer day.
