The story behind Andrew
Prince Andrew has lost his royal status, and England seems to have moved on well. Now that he’s vacated his large mansion, he’s likely eyeing Quogue for a summer retreat in the Hamptons. Andrew Rowney’s new book, “The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” delves into the tumultuous relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre. So, if you happen to call out for “Prince,” you might just be summoning his dog instead.
Rowney shared, “I studied history at Cambridge and earned my PhD from Edinburgh University. I’ve worked as an investigative biographer. I had a network of people who believed in my work for years. Correcting the narrative of the royal family is no easy task. Being around the same age as Andrew helped me relate to some of his experiences.”
Brave storyteller
“I’m not afraid to speak out. I think it’s part of a writer’s duty to highlight injustices and give a voice to those affected by them,” Rowney asserted.
“The royal household safeguarded Andrew. They silenced those trying to reveal the connection between him and Epstein—a majorly ruthless effort to keep this story under wraps. The Queen, I believe, prioritized her son over the monarchy.”
The book claims that “Epstein financially supported Andrew to settle his ex-wife’s debts, provided him with company, and remarked, ‘I’m a pervert king, but Andrew is worse.’” Their relationship, Andrew attempted to conceal, stretched on longer than many anticipated. Andrew has denied any misconduct.
“Significant changes might be on the horizon for the royal family. There are hints of greater transparency regarding finances, parliamentary oversight, and even Freedom of Information Act exemptions. This is promising, as if there’s nothing to hide, then there’s no issue, right?”
And then there’s Sarah Ferguson, who seems to have a knack for extravagance—running friends to bars in the afternoon, having multiple phone lines set up around the pool, and opening bottles of champagne that she doesn’t even drink. Oh, and she brought along 53 extra suitcases, one just for hangers, apparently.
Know the facts
“All the information in the book was meticulously verified. I needed statements from various individuals, which we obtained through the publisher’s legal team. No double-sourcing happened, so other material didn’t make it into the final publication. I took on the role of fact-checker, and remarkably, nobody raised any complaints,” he reflected.
Cindy asked, “So, who’s going to make the final decision? The King or Prince William?”
Rowney responded, “William was definitely at odds with King Charles. He understood the potential fallout. The King, facing criticism for weakness, now has a chance to prove his strength.”
Cindy then inquired, “What will he do with the rest of his life?”
Rowney replied simply, “Probably some horseback riding, walking, and playing golf.”
Cindy, with an almost playful tone, asked, “Who’s next on your list to expose?”
Rowney responded, “Prince Philip—warts and all. He had an affair that has yet to be discussed.”
As a new Miami resident, I once called my former partner in New York. “Sam, the weather here is lovely, but I’ve got some bad news.” Max, concerned, asked, “What’s up?” I told him, “I just got robbed.” His reply was, “Oh, come on. Don’t be ridiculous. Just put it back!”
Only in New York, folks. Only in New York.
