‘Women-obsessed’ Prince Andrew lost his virginity at the age of 11 and had multiple sexual experiences before he turned 13, royal biographer claims
Prince Andrew lost his virginity at the age of 11, a royal biographer has claimed.
Andrew Lownie made the bombshell claim in his new 456-page tome ‘Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York’.
The Duke of York’s first sexual experience was when he was aged eight, according to an unnamed source quoted in the book.
‘He admitted that his second sexual experience came before he turned 12 and when he was 13 he had already slept with more than half-a-dozen girls,’ the source said.
‘I believe this might be the root of Andrew’s problems.’
Mr Lownie, a celebrated biographer, gave a jaw-dropping first interview about his book to the Daily Mail’s unmissable Palace Confidential show.
In it he claimed Andrew had slept with up to 3,000 women and had multiple affairs in his first year of marriage to Sarah Ferguson.
His early sexual experiences are said to have been when Andrew ‘realised he was obsessed with women’.

They are detailed in the book under the subheading ‘Randy Andy’ – something Mr Lownie says he was called at school, and later by the press.
One source close to Andrew told The Telegraph the Duke had previously ‘alluded to sexual experiences at what most of us would consider as too young an age, poor chap’.
‘The Duke’s personal story is far more complex than people realise or have ever been prepared to properly consider,’ they added.
Mr Lownie believes Jeffrey Epstein was blackmailing the ‘over sexed’ Duke of York, who will find no way back to royal duties.
‘When William comes to power, Andrew will be toast. He sees him as a liability to the monarchy and Andrew has not always been very polite about Catherine. William is very protective of his wife’, the author and journalist said.
Speaking to Palace Confidential host Jo Elvin, Mr Lownie believes Andrew has had between 1,000 and 3,000 lovers and viewed himself as a sex God because women ‘threw themselves’ at him.
But this led to the Duke of York being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein and also made him an ‘easy target’ for hostile foreign states, Mr Lownie claims.
‘Jeffrey Epstein provided women and course then used it to blackmail people and Andrew, I’m afraid, fell into that honey trap, not just with Epstein but many other people as well’, he said.

‘He’s so stupid he doesn’t realise how stupid he is’, Mr Lownie declared in the bombshell interview available now on the Daily Mail Royals YouTube channel.
Based on four years of painstaking research and hundreds of interviews, the new biography of Prince Andrew book lays bare his lofty ambitions, thirst for wealth and hedonistic life.
The Duke of York had a controversial friendship with billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who once declared: ‘We are both serial sex addicts. He’s the only person I have met who is more obsessed with p***y than me’.
Mr Lownie said Andrew ‘was apparently a sex addict long before he came into Epstein’s orbit’.
‘He was called Randy Andy, even at school. He’s clearly highly sexed. Various numbers have been quoted at me ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 women that he slept with.
‘He was good looking, he was a prince and women threw themselves at him. He was a notch on their bedpost and he took advantage of that’.
Mr Lownie believes he was unfaithful to Sarah Ferguson on a number of occasions, but so was she.
‘There are allegations that both of them had affairs pretty early in the marriage’, he said.
Mr Lownie claimed that ‘girls would be provided for’ Andrew and used as kompromat – a Russian word for when compromising material is gathered to blackmail.
‘But not just the Russians, the Libyans, countries in the Middle East, people in Kazakhstan, you name it. They’ve all got kompromat on Andrew,’ he said.
Most notably there was a tall, stunning blonde, who had dyed her hair red, part of a Russian spy ring operating in Britain.
She had seduced him in the penthouse of a Knightsbridge hotel, loaned him £25,000 interest-free to pay for one of his daughter’s trip to Switzerland.
‘She gave him a Mac computer which was bugged’, his biographer has said.

Mr Lownie has said Andrew was a target for assassination.
He said: ‘The Argentinian Junta had planned at the time of the Falkands to assassinate him. After the war he went to Mustique with Koo Stark. It was never implemented but it was certainly planned’.
He added: ‘There have been several assassination threats against Andrew including one by the IRA to get him on a golf course. And this is why his laxity about security, his reluctance to sign his girlfriends into the security gate at Buckingham Palace, is so important’.
