A shocking new book claims that one of Britain’s most scandal-ridden royals, Prince Andrew, once hosted a raunchy bash for Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein — right on the grounds of the royal family’s Sandringham estate.
According to The Windsor Legacy by royal author Robert Jobson, palace staff allegedly discovered sex-enhancing drugs, condoms, and lubricant scattered across bathrooms after the 2000 event — which just so happened to be Maxwell’s 39th birthday party.
Andrew has previously admitted that the late financier and Maxwell were guests, but brushed it off as a “straightforward shooting weekend.”
The book claims the items were found during cleanup at Sandringham, one of the crown’s most private retreats. Insiders reportedly described the scene as “shocking,” especially given the company Andrew was keeping at the time.
Epstein, then already facing serious questions about his predatory behavior, had become a fixture in the prince’s social circle — a connection that continues to haunt the royal family to this day.
Fast-forward to 2025, and King Charles has officially stripped Andrew of his royal titles, releasing a statement on October 30 confirming that he will now be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
“His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,” the statement read.
Andrew had already surrendered his title as Duke of York and most royal privileges following the fallout from the Epstein scandal — but this latest move formally ends his life as a working royal.
As if things couldn’t get worse, the disgraced royal was also ordered to vacate the Royal Lodge, his longtime Windsor residence shared with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
The palace confirmed that “formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease,” forcing Andrew and Fergie to find “alternative private accommodation.”
Sources close to the family told British tabloids the decision left Andrew “humiliated” and “devastated,” after two decades of living at the estate he purchased for over $1 million back in 2003.
Virginia Giuffre, who accused Epstein of trafficking her to Andrew when she was underage, remains at the center of the scandal. Andrew has denied the claims, though he paid a multi-million-dollar settlement in 2022.
In her posthumous memoir, Giuffre described her encounters with Epstein and Maxwell as “a living nightmare.” The palace has since emphasized sympathy for “victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse,” calling Andrew’s case a “necessary censure.”
Giuffre tragically died by suicide in April, months before King Charles’ final decision to strip Andrew of his royal privileges.
The fallout has made Andrew a global punchline. Saturday Night Live recently skewered the disgraced royal, mocking his downfall and ties to the late Epstein.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle made headlines of her own — though for something far tamer — after getting roasted online for calling boiling water “spiced cider” in a promo for her struggling lifestyle brand.
From royal estates to late-night satire, Britain’s elite are once again finding themselves in the middle of the kind of tabloid circus only the Windsors can deliver.
