Royal biographer Andrew Lownie has suggested that more former staff members are now stepping forward with information following Prince Andrew’s loss of his remaining royal titles.
On Thursday evening, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the disgraced Duke is set to lose the “Prince” prefix from his name as public pressure mounts over his long-standing ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a rare and strongly worded statement, the Palace announced that formal proceedings had begun to remove all of Andrew’s remaining honours and to relocate him from his Windsor residence, Royal Lodge. The 65-year-old had been living at the estate under what’s described as a peppercorn rent agreement — a symbolic arrangement where rent is technically paid but may amount to only a few pounds per year.
The announcement came shortly after Andrew formally relinquished his title as Duke of York on October 17, according to The Mirror.
Speaking on the Palace Confidential programme about the escalating crisis, royal biographer Andrew Lownie said that additional individuals — including senior members of Andrew’s former staff — are now coming forward with new claims.
