From affairs and rampant sex to excessive behaviour and drowning in debt, sordid details in a new book about the lives of Prince Andrew<\/a> and Sarah \u201cFergie<\/a>\u201d Ferguson have once again plunged the royal family into crisis. Following four years of research that saw royal biographer Andrew Lownie approach 3,000 people and secure hundreds of interviews. The shocking new tell-all reveals the Duke and Duchess of York\u2019s wild life, appalling conduct and unbridled spending.<\/p>\n Despite getting divorced in 1992, it shows \u201cthe extent to which Andrew and Fergie\u2019s lives are still deeply entwined\u201d as they continue to live together on the grounds of Windsor Castle in a property owned by the royals. The book, Entitled: The Rise And The Fall Of The House Of York<\/a>, makes startling claims about all aspects of Andrew\u2019s life. Including his relationships with women, his numerous affairs while married to Fergie, his friendship with deceased convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, his entitlement and the ongoing fall-outs with his family.<\/p>\n According to investigative journalist Ian Halperin, 65-year-old Andrew has slept with over a thousand women and was branded by Epstein as a \u201cserial sex addict<\/a>\u201d. <\/p>\n \u201cSex is his big thing in life,\u201d a friend of Andrew\u2019s told Lownie.<\/p>\n \u201cTravelling all over the world as a UK trade ambassador and for other royal duties has given him access to some beautiful women and he\u2019s taken full advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, new details of Andrew\u2019s relationship with Epstein are revealed. While the Prince claims to have met the disgraced felon in 1999, Lownie\u2019s sources say, \u201cthe truth is he and his ex-wife Sarah had known the financier for almost a decade by then.\u201d <\/p>\n Lownie writes, \u201cEpstein played Andrew. The prince was a useful idiot who gave him respectability, access to political leaders and business opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite his ability to ensnare women, many sources in the book claim that Andrew can be \u201cunbelievably cruel\u201d. Lownie writes he once called a staff member an \u201cimbecile\u201d because he did not refer to the Queen Mother by her full title. According to an excerpt from the book published in the Daily Mail, the Prince wanted to know about the fall-out from a heavy storm at Hillsborough Castle in 2005.<\/p>\n \u201cAndrew asked the head of the household, David Anderson, if there was any damage. \u2018Yes sir,\u2019 responded Anderson.<\/p>\n \u2018The tree which was planted by the Queen Mother.\u2019 This was followed by a withering silence, then Andrew said in a mocking voice, \u2018Did you mean Queen Elizabeth<\/a>, the Queen Mother?<\/p>\n \u201cHe then asked the poor man how long he had worked for the royal family. Anderson replied, \u2018I joined in 1984, sir.\u2019 \u2018And you still don\u2019t know the proper way to refer to my grandmother? You f***ing imbecile. Get out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Multiple sources also reveal such entitled behaviour was evident at dinner parties. An anecdote from the book recounts one evening where Andrew is described as having sniffed the p\u00e2t\u00e9 served as the first course before turning to his right and allegedly saying: \u201cThis p\u00e2t\u00e9 smells. What do you think?\u201d His female companion leaned forward to smell it and he promptly pushed her face into the dish, the author writes.<\/p>\n The new biography also shines a light on Fergie\u2019s excess, extravagance and extramarital affairs during the pair\u2019s 10-year marriage. It reveals how the Duchess, now 65, pursued celebrities John F. Kennedy Jr and Kevin Costner and professed her love for Tiger Woods.<\/a> She also slept with American Steve Wyatt and John Bryan.<\/p>\n The author reveals how Fergie would make wild requests of her staff, such as demanding three different meats be prepared for dinner every night and for her butler to get in at 4.30am to \u201cPersonal trainers, hairdressers and Pilates instructors were paid hundreds of pounds an hour to wait for her to emerge in the late afternoon,\u201d writes Lownie.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, her lavish life also landed her in so much debt that the Queen had to bail her out on \u201cseveral occasions\u201d.<\/p>\n In the book, Lownie claims by 1995 she had debts of more than with $11m from her holidays and nonstop partying. He writes that she spent $56,000 on clothes in just one hour in high-end department store Bloomingdale\u2019s. <\/p>\n With so many salacious scandals detailed in the book, it\u2019s no surprise that the royal family feel they\u2019re under siege and have no choice but to place distance between themselves and Andrew and Fergie.<\/p>\n Palace insiders say Prince William and the King are moving quickly to remove the former couple from the fold. The book claims William, 43, is working behind the scenes to try and evict his uncle Andrew, who had his $2.2m annual allowance cut by King Charles<\/a>, 76, last year, from the Royal Lodge at Windsor.<\/p>\n The author says, \u201cHe thinks Andrew is abusing the property and his privilege there.\u201d<\/p>\n Already removed from royal duties, Palace sources say discussions are ramping up about how the family may strip Andrew\u2019s title and banish the two forever.<\/p>\nObsession with women<\/h2>\n
