‘What the F—?!’ Prince Andrew Goes Off After Book Claims He Was With 40 Women in 1 Night
Prince Andrew has been at the center of controversies for a while. Still, new revelations from the biography about him and Sarah Ferguson titled Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by Andrew Lownie, have left everyone wondering how the royal family will further distance themselves from the controversial prince. As for Andrew, he seems to be anything but calm these days.
Case in point, the prince’s reaction to a very normal thing: a speed bump, which has just been installed on the road outside his house, Royal Lodge, located in Windsor Great Park. The Sun reports that Andrew happened to notice workers while he was out riding and yelled at them: “What the f— are you doing now?”

Ironically, Andrew might be a bit of the reason the speed bump is being installed in the first place. The prince is reportedly known for driving at high speed in and out of his residence, something he won’t be able to do now, as one of the speed bumps has been placed right on the approach to the gates. Since the Windsor Great Park and the roads within it are privately owned by the Crown and car usage is reserved for residents, it seems clear who the speed bump is meant for.
There are reports that the prince crashed his Range Rover through electric gates in Windsor Great Park to avoid a detour in 2016. The authorities declined to launch an investigation then, but they clearly took notice.
But a speed bump is truly the least of Prince Andrew’s problems. His older brother, King Charles, is sick, and though he has so far protected Andrew up to a point, likely because that’s what Queen Elizabeth would have wanted, he won’t be King for too much longer. Andrew doesn’t really get along with his nephews, Prince William and Prince Harry. And he doesn’t seem to be especially close to his siblings either, with those like Princess Anne, who are very well regarded, keeping their public distance from him.
This all comes as the new book has been filled with bombshell revelations, perhaps none as shocking as the claim that more than 40 women were once brought to the Duke of York‘s hotel during a stay in Bangkok in 2006. Worst of all? He was there representing the crown at the King of Thailand’s diamond jubilee.
“Hotel staff were used to foreigners bringing in girls, but amazed that more than 10 a day were going to Andrew’s room,” Lownie wrote. “Often, as soon as one left, another would arrive,” a witness told the biographer.
The Telegraph recently reported that Prince William knows “something still needs to be done” with Andrew. And according to this report, William has no plans to treat Andrew with the kid’s gloves he has been treated with so far. Instead, plans for Prince Andrew reportedly include banning him from William’s coronation, removing his Order of the Garter, and stripping him of his “Prince” title.
Quite a fall from grace for the prince, and considering the recent reports and the older controversies, it’s easy to see why.
