Nigel Cawthorne has written a bio of 60-year old Andrew and he claims all of this is true and more. In the Daily, Mail Nigel writes that in Andrew’s day he was viewed as a military hero with movie-star looks. Fast forward to today when polls show he is the least popular member of the royal family.
Why The Change In Perception Of Andrew?
Andrew’s fall from grace was a matter of his own doing. For one, his recent BBC interview in which he defended his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein led to ridicule and disbelief. Following his interview sponsors and charities dumped him and even his mother, Queen Elizabeth, stripped him of his £249,000 taxpayer-funded salary. Where did Andrew go wrong?
Andrew Was Always A Handful
It seems that his nanny had his number, calling him Baby Grumbling. Unlike his siblings, he was indulged, with seven nurseries in four palaces, and the lion’s share of his mother’s attention. Even she said, “He is not always a little ray of sunshine about the home,” due to his numerous pranks.

Andrew also had a sense of entitlement, yelling once while watching Coronation Street, “Oh God, look at all those common people.”
At his prep school, he had a reputation as a bully, but his parents dismissed it as him being, “a natural boss.” At another school, he was nicknamed, “The Sniggerer,” for telling off-color jokes.
Andrew Was Keen On The Ladies But Rude In General
Andrew’s bodyguard Ken Wharfe recalled of Andrew, “His manners are just awful.” One aid told Nigel for his biography of Andrew, “He’s been incredibly rude to his personal protection officers, throwing things on the ground and demanding they “f***ing pick them up. Sure, if you’re a lady with blonde hair and big boobs, I bet he’s utterly charming.”
A senior officer said of Andrew, “He’s a bit of a mummy’s boy. You could never say that about Charles. And (Charles) certainly wouldn’t talk about girl conquests.”

Andrew’s Marriage Didn’t Last
Andrew married Sarah Ferguson, a seemingly perfect match. She earned the nickname Freeloading Fergie for demanded payment for interviews, asking designers for free clothes, and moaning about her flight accommodations.
Andrew’s Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein Was Controversial
In October 2000 Andrew was photographed with Epstein at a ‘pimps and hookers’ party then later photographed beside a topless waitress.
Other unfortunate pics surfaced of him in the red light district in Thailand with half-naked young women.
By 2010 he had gained yet another nickname, this time in diplomatic circles: His Buffoon Highness.
Today Andrew is being investigated by the FBI for his connection to the sex-trafficking of minors In 2020 he and Sarah are being sued for failure to make a final payment on a Swiss chalet. And, the FBI wants to question him about his connection to the sex-trafficking of minors.

Very sad.
