Prince Andrés: his story, his controversies and his fall in disgrace
Prince Andrés, Duke of York and son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, lives his most bleak years within the British royal family. His reputation was seriously damaged after being accused in 2019 of sexual aggression to Virginia Giuffre, then a minor, within the framework of the scandal by the sexual traffic network of Jeffrey Epstein. Since then, he has been separated from public life, stripped of official titles and functions, even by decision of his own mother, as he remembers Infobae.
Despite her retirement, Andrés remains a controversial figure. The recent publication of the book Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servantsby journalist Tom Quinn, has revived criticism by revealing testimonies of former Buckingham Palace. According to the book, the prince had an authoritarian behavior, with a tendency to treat staff “as a school bully”, a reflection of personal frustration for not having been the heir to the throne.
Among the eccentricities mentioned, its obsession stands out with a collection of between 50 and 60 stuffed animals, which should be arranged every morning following a strict photographic scheme. According to statements collected by Quinn, cited by Infobaethis level of control would show behaviors worthy of psychological analysis.
In addition to personal scandals, Andrés has generated tension within the royal family for its resistance to abandoning Royal Lodge, a high -cost property that can no longer support after losing its annual assignment of one million pounds. King Carlos III has repeatedly pressed to leave the residence, while his daughters, Princesses Beatriz and Eugenia, would be concerned about the course that has taken his life, according to the international medium.
In an attempt to rebuild his image and his economy, Andrés has returned to the business world as an intermediary in investments. He collaborates with the Dutch firm Startup Boot Camp (SBC) and recently organized a conference in Japan to connect entrepreneurs with investors. Although these movements could open new opportunities, the British monarchy has made it clear that it will not support its business activities, reports Infobae.
