Daily Mail reported that Meat Loaf claimed that Andrew tried to push him into a moat while filming “It’s A Royal Knockout,” a charity that only took place one time in Staffordshire back in 1987. Andrew allegedly warned Meat Loaf about flirting with his then-wife Sarah Ferguson, saying, “You can’t touch me. I’m royal.”
“I don’t give a s*** who you are,” Meat Loaf claimed to have told the “jealous” Andrew in response.

Andrew Stripped Of Titles
Meanwhile, Andrew was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages last week by the Queen, who said that he will need to face the sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by an accuser of the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein as a “private citizen.”
“With The Queen’s approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement. “The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.”
