The former Prince Andrew is yet again under scrutiny as a new royal biography revisits allegations about his teenage behavior, portraying a pattern of crude pranks and humiliations witnesses say left women and girls embarrassed and unsettled long before his adult controversies.

Lownie’s account of the shamed ex-royal suggests the one-time Duke of York’s reputation for inappropriate humor and domineering conduct was already evident in adolescence.
According to his book, multiple witnesses recalled Andrew as eager to “annoy, provoke, and humiliate women and girls” at parties and stately homes.
