Prince Andrew Reportedly Out Of Favors With British Taxpayers

Fresh polling shows British taxpayers overwhelmingly support stripping the scandal-hit Duke of every remaining royal honor. This latest blow comes on the heels of reports that the prince may lose his Royal Lodge after allegedly berating a palace worker.

Prince Andrew’s mounting missteps, some detailed in royal biographer Andrew Lownie’s explosive book, have only fueled calls for the monarchy to cut him loose finally.

A recent YouGov poll found that 67 percent of respondents backed removing Andrew’s honors, while just 13 percent were against the idea and 20 percent remained undecided. 

One insider said the numbers highlight a clear reality: public patience has worn thin, and Andrew’s position in the royal fold is more uncertain than ever. The poll also reinforced his standing as the monarchy’s least popular figure, with only 5 percent of participants holding a favorable view of him.

RadarOnline reported that political and royal experts see the results as evidence of growing frustration with Andrew’s ongoing link to the royal family, despite years of scandal and public backlash.

A new tell-all book is adding fresh fuel to the fire surrounding the prince’s already tarnished public image. BBC reports that “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” written by Andrew Lownie, offers an unflinching look at the Duke’s life and behavior. 

It seemingly portrays him as arrogant, self-serving and alludes to his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The 450-plus-page account is said to have taken four years to compile and draws on hundreds of interviews.

Rather than a redemption arc, the biography is packed with stories that reinforce the negative perception of the King’s brother, claims of repeated rudeness toward staff, berating an aide, and a string of affairs.

Lownie’s work also includes countless examples of Andrew’s apparent lack of self-awareness, painting a picture of a man far removed from the humility the public might expect from a royal figure.

Not every page is damning, however. The book includes nicer moments, like the time Andrew, then a helicopter pilot, gave soldiers a lift from a rifle range and decided to land on the Sandringham estate. 

The book’s portrayal of Andrew’s rudeness toward staff seems to match reality, as his reputation is getting fresh attention after a heated exchange on the Windsor Great Park estate.

The Blast notes that the 65-year-old, who regularly rides through the 4,800-acre grounds from his Royal Lodge home, has long been irritated by a speed bump along his driving route. 

Witnesses say Andrew’s frustration boiled over when he spotted a worker installing more traffic humps on another part of the estate. The King’s brother reportedly shouted from his horse, demanding to know “what the f-ck” the worker was doing. 

Andrew’s history of problematic behavior toward both staff and family members is well-documented. 

He has been accused of being verbally abusive to a female gardener and a former palace maid, Charlotte Briggs, who recalled sprinting up four flights of stairs to address a complaint, only to be insulted for her efforts.

Tensions between Charles and Andrew are reportedly at a breaking point, with palace insiders saying the latter’s days at Royal Lodge may be numbered.

The King is said to be furious over Andrew’s latest outburst at royal staff, calling him an “entitled idiot” and privately warning that eviction could come at any moment. Palace sources have dubbed the growing conflict the “siege of Royal Lodge.”

Adding to the tension, Andrew’s 30-room home on the estate is reportedly in decline. Palace sources say the building needs roughly $700,000 in repairs, yet he has done little to address the mounting problems.

Despite Charles’ urging him to take action, Andrew has allegedly shown little interest in maintaining the property, a stance that could soon cost him the keys to his longtime residence.
