Royal Family 'live in fear' as experts 'amazed' Prince Andrew tapes haven't leaked

Tonight, Channel 5 aired the documentary, Andrew & Fergie: The Duke and Duchess of Excess, following the release of Andrew Lownie's explosive new book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.

The documentary charted the couple’s spending habits, opaque income streams, and controversial connections, including Andrew’s entanglements with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew Lownie, who featured in the documentary, called the couple "greedy" and said although he tried to find someone to say something positive about Andrew, 99% of them didn't. It comes after news that Prince Harry will 'never be forgiven' by two major royals despite reconciliation hope.

Making further bombshell claims, Andrew Lownie alleges that compromising material involving Prince Andrew may have been obtained and passed to foreign intelligence services.

"I think one of the most worrying things I discovered was the amount of kompromat there must be on Andrew. We know that Jeffrey Epstein had filmed people in his home," Lownie said in the Channel 5 documentary.

Before he died, it was alleged Epstein had sold some of this information to Mossad, and Libyan intelligence services, and maybe even the Russians.

"There is material from my sources talking about kompromat in China, in Libya, in the Middle East, and elsewhere. So I mean, there must be an awful lot of sex tapes running around, and I'm just amazed that they haven't hit the internet," Lownie alleged.

The claim has been made before, but there is no public proof that any tapes exist, and Prince Andrew has never commented on the claims.

"Who knows what could come out?" journalist Richard Eden added. "I think the Royal Family still lives in fear, frankly, of what could come out."

Andrew stepped away from public duties in 2019 amid the furore over his friendship with Epstein following his Newsnight interview and stopped using His Royal Highness.

Despite no longer being a working royal, he has appeared at family events. Just earlier this year, he joined the King and several other senior royals for their traditional Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

Earlier this week, Andrew's "lifelong teddy bear obsession" has reemerged in the news after the publication of the explosive new biography.

In 2022, a strange anecdote surfaced about the beleaguered prince's reported stash of 50 to 60 teddy bears. An ex-royal officer even claimed that Andrewwould "scream and shout" if his staff didn't perform a specific task involving the toys.

Speaking in the ITV documentary 'Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile', former protection officer Paul Page claimed that the Duke would fly into a rage if his servants didn't place them in a certain way at Buckingham Palace.
