Once a figure of royal prestige, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, now finds himself mired in scandal with fresh allegations of hosting a questionable bash for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

New claims from a forthcoming royal biography paint a damning picture of Andrew’s past, alleging he threw a party in 2000 at Sandringham for Maxwell’s 39th birthday, complete with sex-enhancing drugs and a guest list featuring the now-infamous Epstein, as Fox News reports.

According to royal biographer Robert Jobson in his upcoming book, The Windsor Legacy, as reported by the Daily Mail, palace staff stumbled upon bathrooms stocked with lubricants, condoms, and poppers -- items hardly befitting a traditional royal gathering.

Shocking Revelations From Sandringham in 2000

Jobson’s account suggests this wasn’t just a casual get-together but a celebration tailored for Maxwell, then Epstein’s girlfriend, with supplies that raise eyebrows even among the most open-minded.

During a 2019 Newsnight interview, Andrew downplayed the event as merely “a shooting weekend,” a description that now seems laughably tame given the reported bathroom inventory.

Let’s be clear: while personal choices are one thing, hosting such a party on royal grounds for a pair later tied to horrific crimes doesn’t exactly scream “family values” or responsible stewardship of privilege.

Epstein Connection Raises Serious Questions

Andrew’s ties to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, go beyond a single event, with photos showing them together at Royal Ascot in 2000.

Author Andrew Lownie, in works such as Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, notes their bond over shared interests, stating, “I think the reason that Epstein and Andrew were such good friends was that they were interested in the same stuff, basically money and sex.”

Lownie’s insight cuts to the core -- two men allegedly feeding off each other’s vices, with Epstein offering women and financial perks while Andrew lent royal credibility, a trade-off that reeks of moral bankruptcy.

Decades of Alleged Misconduct Uncovered

Royal commentators have long whispered about Andrew’s behavior, dubbing him “Randy Andy” for a lifestyle of indulgence that seems more suited to tabloid headlines than palace halls.

British commentator Hilary Fordwich didn’t mince words, saying, “Randy Andy has certainly been rather consistent with a lifelong pattern of reckless personal sexual behavior.” Her critique points to a troubling pattern, one that progressive defenders might excuse as “personal freedom” but conservatives see as a betrayal of duty.

From tales of watching explicit content for days after his 1992 separation from Sarah Ferguson, as alleged by Tina Brown in The Palace Papers, to Epstein’s own reported boasts about Andrew’s proclivities, the stories paint a picture of unchecked entitlement.

Consequences, Royal Fallout

The fallout has been severe -- Andrew was stripped of his titles by King Charles on Oct. 30 and evicted from the Royal Lodge, a clear signal that even the monarchy has limits to what it will tolerate.

Accusations from Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claimed Andrew abused her at 17, led to a 2022 settlement for an undisclosed sum, with Andrew acknowledging her as a “victim of abuse” in court documents, though denying wrongdoing.

Buckingham Palace, distancing itself, declined comment on Jobson’s book and reiterated they no longer represent Andrew, while expressing King Charles and Queen Camilla’s sympathy for victims of abuse -- a necessary, if late, nod to the gravity of these scandals.
