The British royal has been pulled from official duties following a controversial interview and renewed interest in his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein.
Typically regarded as a lesser-known royal, Prince Andrew has been thrust into the headlines thanks to renewed interest in his former friend Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his jail cell this August. Now, the royal is facing tough questions about his ties to the convicted sex offender as well as accusations that he himself slept with at least one underage girl — allegations that a widely criticized BBC interview, which aired Nov. 16, did little to abate.
Though he was second in line to the throne at the time of this birth, behind older brother Prince Charles, the 59-year-old royal is now eighth, behind infant grand-nephew Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Andrew has also been romantically linked to American photographer and actress Koo Stark, whom he is rumored to have romanced in the early 1980s. In 2003, he was linked to British businesswoman Amanda Staveley. Andrew is also godfather to Stark’s daughter and she came to his defense in 2015 when accusations about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein first surfaced.
His homeAndrew resides at Royal Lodge in Windsor, England, the former home of his maternal grandmother, the Queen Mother. According to Hello, ex-wife Ferguson also uses the Grade II-listed house — which reportedly includes an indoor pool — as a base. Their younger daughter, Princess Eugenie, posed in the lavish home for a 2016 Harper’s Bazaar photo shoot.
Though Epstein struck a plea deal in 2008 that resulted in his conviction for procuring an underage girl for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute — investigators had reportedly found dozens more cases of alleged sexual abuse — Andrew continued to keep his company. Shortly after Epstein completed an 18-month prison sentence, the two men were photographed in Central Park in December 2010 — a trip Andrew insists he made to cut off the friendship.
The falloutAs the fallout from his Epstein connections, allegations of sexual misconduct and troubling interview mounts, Andrew has been pulled from public royal duties and patronages for the time-being, while various institutions and charitable partners have cut ties with him. On a more personal note, his office has been moved out of Buckingham Palace, and there are reports that the queen has vetoed plans for a 60th birthday party in his honor next February.
