Prince William “wants to clean out the stables” when it comes to his controversial uncle, former Prince Andrew, a royal biographer claims.
Andrew Lowney, author of “The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” argues that former royals are concerned about their precarious position within the family.
“He’s worried about what’s going to happen,” Rowney told Page Six in a recent exclusive interview. “He will no longer be protected. William will deal with him.”
Lowney said Prince Charles “wants to deal with” his errant uncle before the cancer-stricken king dies.
“He wants the stables to be cleaned out… the window dressing means that Andrew will be gone by the spring and he is a good boy and has done what he has been told to do,” he elaborates.
But Rowney points out that Andrew, 65, is rarely a “good boy” and expects he will “come kicking and screaming”, demanding a lot of guarantees, including “a pretty big house, a full staff, a gardener, a driver, a housekeeper (and) a cook”.
Earlier this year, the Queen’s second son and reputed favorite was stripped of his title “Prince” and forced out of his longtime Royal Lodge home due to his links to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
He is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. His ex-wife Sarah Ferguson also lost her title of Duchess of York.
Epstein’s sex trafficking victim Virginia Giffle has long claimed that she was forced to sleep with Andrew when she was 17 years old. Andrew denied the accusations but paid a multimillion-dollar settlement in 2022 to Guiffre, who took her own life in April at the age of 41.
Newly released 2021 emails from Epstein’s files reveal that Andrew allegedly asked friend and Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell if she had “found any new inappropriate friends.”
Maxwell, 63, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, but was transferred to a simpler prison for mysterious reasons.
Rowney, who is currently working on a paperback version of his book, promises there will be lots of interesting new content because so many people have come forward.
“Almost every day, two or three people come to me with stories of their encounters with (Andrew),” Lowney explained. “Former schoolmates, former Navy colleagues, former staff members, former diplomats who were not prepared to talk to me.
“It was frustrating to some in the intelligence community who were reporting things that were just being ignored.”
The stories reportedly include “bringing prostitutes to a Hong Kong hotel and causing a freak tsunami.”
Ms Lowney said she had heard from former protection workers who had been sexually harassed by the former duke, describing the behavior as “highly inappropriate”, including being poked for not driving according to specifications and being given unwanted hugs from behind.
The author of ‘The Traitor King’ also says that Andrew’s famously close relationship with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson has been criticized.
“She’s dazed,” he says. “She realizes he’s toxic. She’s going to rebrand herself. He’s not a prince anymore… She doesn’t have a calling card anymore. So she’s going to reinvent herself.”
Rowney described former Weight Watchers star Sill as a “royal Houdini”, noting that “she always escapes and comes back in some way”.
Meanwhile, Rowney says Andrew’s loss of the title must be devastating for him.
“That was what really mattered,” he noted. “He used to say that he was ‘a prince first, a naval officer second, and a husband third.’ So he can’t go out on the balcony and get attention.”
