A woman has claimed that Prince Andrew, Duke of York, stared at her chest during an official crown engagement two decades ago. The incident allegedly occurred when she was 24 and working as an events manager, according to The Sun report. She accompanied a doctor to meet the prince.
“He wouldn’t leave me alone,” the unidentified woman told The Sun. She added that Andrew “seemed a lot more inclined to speak to me than the middle-aged female MD.” The Sun showed her a photo from the event, which she says appears to show Andrew looking at her chest. “I must have been listening to my MD talk and was looking her way, so hadn’t noticed him staring,” she explained.
“Andrew obviously had other things on his mind.”
“He was more interested in looking at my boobs than learning about our business,” she added.
The woman wore a low-cut top with a jacket. “I was wearing a low-cut top, but had a jacket on, so wasn’t dressed outrageously,” she clarified, adding, “it was a bit creepy.”
Recent allegations about ties to a suspected spy
The woman’s allegations come after recent disclosures about Andrew’s ties to Yang, a businessman and suspected spy who has been banned from Britain. The Chinese national, known as “H6” in British espionage and media circles, is believed to be one of over 40,000 operatives associated with the department operating worldwide. However, Andrew denies sharing sensitive information with the businessman.
Previous controversy
Andrew was once regarded as a war hero for his service in Britain’s Royal Navy, during which he flew multiple missions in the 1982 Falklands War against Argentina. In January 2022, Andrew relinquished his military titles and royal roles after his legal team failed to convince a US judge to dismiss a civil lawsuit accusing him of sexual abuse. He later reached a significant financial settlement with Virginia Giuffre, who claimed Andrew abused her when she was 17.
Giuffre had alleged that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked her to Andrew in the 1990s. Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, was convicted for her role in recruiting and grooming teenage girls for Epstein’s abuse.
Andrew has consistently denied the allegations against him.
