Swedish-born British television host, author and former model
Ulrika Jonsson, 58, recalled an experience with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, nearly four decades ago that left her unsettled. "I met him when I was 20 at Windsor Castle and he looked me up and down as if I was a heifer at a cattle market. Or as if he was God, himself. Deeply uncomfortable," Jonsson wrote in a 2023 column for
The Sun about narcissism. Her comments have resurfaced in recent days following the former Duke of York's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office weeks after the U.S. Justice Department released emails suggesting he had passed along sensitive government documents to predator
Jeffrey Epstein while serving as Britain's trade envoy.

Ulrika Jonsson shared the story about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — who lost his royal titles in late 2025 amid renewed scrutiny of his relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — while writing about narcissism, a personality trait she believes appears frequently among some powerful public figures. "Prince Andrew is another contender, denying the merest hint of a suggestion that he might have been involved in anything dodgy," she wrote. "Incapable, it seems, of even pretending to have empathy or an ounce of understanding and responsibility."

In the same column, Ulrika Jonsson also pointed to another famous man she believes fits the description of a narcissist. "The King of the Narcissists is surely Donald Trump — displaying a few too many of the characteristics associated with this condition such as an unreasonably high sense of his own importance; attention-seeking; desperate for admiration; an overinflated ego; very few boundaries; a lack of empathy and a pronounced sense of entitlement — the list goes on," she wrote.

Ulrika Jonsson also referenced Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator and convicted trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell — coincidentally also a former friend of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — suggesting the imprisoned British socialite's behavior showed similar traits. "Then, listening to Ghislaine Maxwell being interviewed on TalkTV [in January 2023], made me think, 'There's another one,'" Jonsson wrote in The Sun. "No hint of empathy for any of her victims. In complete denial about her conviction, choosing instead to moan about the food she's being made to eat in prison."
