Book Claims Prince Andrew Had Affair With Ghislaine Maxwell

New revelations from Andrew Lownie's biography, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, depict Prince Andrew's complex relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted for sex trafficking. The book claims Andrew and Maxwell were not only close friends but also occasional lovers, with Maxwell playing a significant role in helping Andrew reinvent himself socially and securing business deals. Maxwell introduced Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein, drawing him deeper into Epstein's network, which included social events and alleged flings with various women. This relationship and Andrew's connection to Epstein led to his 2019 BBC interview that resulted in him stepping back from public duties amid public scrutiny. The scandal resurged amid the Trump administration's review of Epstein files, which ended with the DOJ and FBI denying blackmail or further charges, sparking backlash from Trump's MAGA base. Overall, these accounts underscore Andrew's controversial ties to Maxwell and Epstein, which have had lasting impacts on his public and royal standing.
