A new book by author Andrew Lownie claims that Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein were close friends due to their shared interests in money and sex. Lownie’s book, ‘Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,’ is based on extensive investigation and interviews with numerous sources. The author asserts that Andrew provided Epstein with respectability and useful contacts, while Epstein offered financial support for Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and a supply of women for Andrew’s sexual appetites. Lownie describes their relationship as a ‘win-win’ for both men. Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking charges and died by suicide in 2019, was linked to numerous allegations of exploitation. The book also suggests that Queen Elizabeth II ignored concerns about Andrew’s behavior, highlighting the lack of accountability within the royal family. Lownie’s claims are supported by interviews with palace insiders and experts, though some, like Epstein’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, dispute the timeline of their relationships. Lownie’s book provides a critical look at the royal family’s handling of Andrew’s behavior, suggesting that the late queen turned a blind eye to his activities. The book also details the ongoing consequences for Andrew, who has been estranged from his family and living under house arrest at Royal Lodge.
