An author preparing a paperback edition of a book about the House of York said the new version will contain additional material about pickup lines the former Prince Andrew allegedly used with women. Andrew Lownie, who wrote “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” spoke exclusively to Page Six on Tuesday.

” The author added there are “just lots and lots of stories” of the former royal behaving badly and said he displayed “a strong sense of entitlement” and appeared to enjoy embarrassing women.

Lownie claimed the former prince engaged in acts of “sexual humiliation,” including pulling down the zips on women’s dresses at balls. A representative for the former prince did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment. Last year, King Charles stripped his brother of all royal titles amid the ongoing scandal regarding his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein.

The former prince and his ex-wife were also removed from their longtime home, Royal Lodge. He is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Mountbatten-Windsor was accused of raping Virginia Giuffre when she was a minor. Giuffre claimed she was sex-trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

He denied the charges but made a multimillion-dollar payment to Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025. The former prince was arrested in February on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly forwarding confidential trade documents to Epstein.

If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
