Allegations persist that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, deployed a vulgar and sexually charged pickup line aimed at unsuspecting women, a detail now amplified by royal author Andrew Lownie in an updated paperback biography. The purported phrase, described as a means of “sexual humiliation,” centers on a crude reference to his royal status, reportedly: "What’s it feel like to have the royal c—- against your thigh?" This surfacing of new details adds another layer to the ongoing controversies surrounding the former Duke of York, who has previously denied allegations of sexual assault.
Lownie's claims, shared in exclusive discussions about his book, "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York," paint a picture of entitlement. The author contends that such behavior, alongside other alleged incidents including a purported instance of kicking a dog, suggests a "strong sense of entitlement" on Mountbatten-Windsor's part and a pattern of behavior that included "enjoy[ing] embarrassing women."

The latest revelations emerge as Mountbatten-Windsor navigates a period of significant disrepute and investigation. British police have reportedly widened their inquiry into allegations of sexual misconduct and corruption. These developments coincide with his and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson's eviction from their longtime residence, the Royal Lodge, and the stripping of his royal titles by his brother, King Charles III, last year.
These new accounts build upon existing public narratives concerning Mountbatten-Windsor's alleged ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which have profoundly impacted his standing within the royal family and led to his removal from public duties. The ongoing scrutiny, detailed in Lownie's work, documents what is framed as the "downfall of royal family members," with Mountbatten-Windsor being a central figure. Reports suggest he now formally uses the name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Background
The emergence of these specific allegations from royal author Andrew Lownie adds to a broader pattern of controversy surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. His association with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, has been a significant factor in his diminished public role and loss of royal titles. Lownie's book, which focuses on the 'rise and fall' of individuals connected to the House of York, now includes updated material that brings these allegations to the forefront. The broader context includes a widening police investigation into potential misconduct.
