According to Andrew Lownie's book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, Sarah Ferguson felt "jealousy that she had lost her influence over Andrew [Mountbatten-Windsor]" to Jeffrey Epstein. The author also claimed the former Duchess held a "growing concern about the company her ex-husband was keeping and how it was impacting her own reputation — and money-making opportunities in America."

Andrew Lownie claimed it wasn't only Sarah Ferguson who was concerned about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. "Fergie and a lot of other people who love Andrew believe that this friendship with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein has become really dangerous," the book claimed.

King Charles III stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson of their titles due to their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. "He's coming to terms with the fact he's lost everything that mattered to him: his status, his position in the royal family and military, and to a lesser extent, a fractured family," a source told
The Telegraph.

As rumors swirl about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's daughters,
Prince Beatrice and
Princess Eugenie, distancing themselves from their father amid the scandal, royal expert
Jasmine Carey thinks there's one way he can win back their trust. "He could go to the U.S. and help with inquiries into [Jeffrey] Epstein's activities. He could share what he knows about the late pedophile from the friendship they once had. He could finally say yes to giving information to the U.S. Congress committee, even though he seemed to have blanked their request for his cooperation before," she wrote for
Daily Express.
