Earlier this month, we reported that Prince Andrew’s past ties to the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had come back to haunt him once again. This time, an old email leaked in which Andrew allegedly told Epstein “we are in this together.”
In the wake of this, Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who he still lives with, have reportedly agreed to leave Royal Lodge. Now, a renowned royal biographer is speaking out to claim that both Andrew and Sarah “could go to prison.” This comes after their latest Epstein bombshells were made public.
Andrew And Sarah ‘May Go To Prison’
Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, warned in a new interview that the royal family will throw Andrew “under the bus.” He believes they will do this because of the “reputation damage” that he has caused to them all.
“I do think the authorities will want to pursue some of these investigations,” Lownie said. “They will bring charges. I think if they do so there is a very good chance that both he and Sarah Ferguson may well go to prison.”
Lownie went on to claim that Andrew, 65, abused his position of responsibility that was given to him by his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, by bringing his mistress on official visits.
“Just the brazenness, the sense that he could get away with this,” Lownie continued. “He would go on an official visit to Thailand, paid for by the taxpayer, and he would bring his mistress with him to sit in the car at official functions. He would go through 40 prostitutes in four days.”
“Clearly there were a lot of people enabling him and protecting him and that included, I’m afraid, the Queen. This problem should’ve been dealt with years ago,” the royal biographer added. “The Palace only have themselves to blame.”

Andrew’s Alleged Email To Epstein
This comes after Andrew’s past friendship with Epstein came back to haunt him once again.
In a 2011 email obtained by The Guardian, Andrew allegedly told Epstein “We are in this together.” He allegedly wrote this email after a picture of Andrew with his arm around teenage Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre was first published for the world to see. At the time, Epstein was already a convicted sex offender.
“I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it,” Andrew allegedly wrote in an email to Epstein on February 28, 2011. “Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”
This email was sent three months after Andrew told the BBC that he’d cut off Epstein completely and was no longer communicating with him in any way. Indeed, Andrew had told BBC Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis that he’d visited Epstein in New York in December of 2010 to end their friendship in person. Judging from this email, however, that was a blatant lie.
Epstein had already been convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution in Florida on June 30, 2008. Despite this, Andrew continued his association with Epstein.
Sarah’s Epstein Ties
Last month, Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah, who he divorced in 1996 but still lives with, was dropped as the patron of various charities. This came after her own damning emails to Epstein leaked. In one of them, she referred to Epstein as being her “steadfast, generous and supreme friend.”
Epstein died behind bars in 2019, allegedly by suicide. At the time, he was awaiting trial on various U.S. federal sex trafficking charges. Sadly, Giuffre died in April of this year, also allegedly by suicide.
New reports have alleged that Andrew and Sarah have finally agreed to leave Royal Lodge. Only time will tell if they actually do this, and if they can each avoid prison over their Epstein ties.
