Last year, historian Andrew Lownie published Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, unmasking several claims against the ex-Duke of York. In the nine months since the hardback came out, Andrew has been de-princed<\/a>, de-duked, had his HRH shorn, arrested, evicted from his grand home and dumped in a corner of Norfolk and, last week, allegedly threatened by a balaclava-clad man<\/a>. <\/p>\n But for a man who, limbo-like, has spent his life finding new lows comes nadir number 88 thanks to the tranche of sickening new allegations made about Andrew in the paperback edition of Entitled.<\/p>\n Somehow, one\u2019s estimation of him can defy all known laws of psychics and fall even further than you might have thought possible.<\/p>\n Take this story from Lownie. It\u2019s a shooting weekend at Sandringham and a whole lot of pheasants are meeting their maker. Pow pow. A longstanding friend of the royal family is there and during a break is enjoying a midmorning sausage roll with the then Duke of York and his labrador next to him. Suddenly, \u201cthe dog leapt and snatched the guest\u2019s sausage roll from his hand, causing him to laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s when Queen Elizabeth\u2019s son, according to the book, \u201ckicked the dog in the head, leaving her whimpering on the ground\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is the most disgusting thing that you have just done to your beautiful dog,\u201d said the guest. \u201cYou should be ashamed of yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n Andrew shot back: \u201cP*** off. It is none of your business and I will do precisely what I want to MY dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n Just in case anyone from PETA is reading, the disgraced ex-royal currently has seven dogs.<\/p>\n If his alleged behaviour towards animals was vile, consider the claims about his treatment of British Airways staff.<\/p>\n It\u2019s 2004 and Andrew is set to zip orfff overseas. On hand is John Longmuir who, Lownie writes, was \u201can armed police officer at Heathrow whose duties included escorting VIPs through airside and on to the aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n Andrew walks into the first class cabin where \u201cA female British Airways crew member, who Andrew had never met, put out her hand to shake his. He took it, pulled her towards him, spun her round so she had her back to him\u201d.<\/p>\n Longmuir said that Andrew \u201cbent her forward so that his groin was clearly and firmly in contact with her backside. He then appeared to mimic a golf swing and was laughing.<\/p>\n \u201cTo me she looked awkward and bemused. I would judge the prince\u2019s actions amount to a possible sexual assault but there was no way that the Met Police or British Airways would have gone down that road at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s just keep adding to reasons why the ex Duke of York should have been put on a one-man no fly list, hmmm?<\/p>\n When handed a bottle of water he thought was too cold on a flight to New York in 2010, he – shock, horror – complained. He then, the stewardess told Lownie, \u201cundid his flies, shoved the bottle of water down his trousers and said, \u2018This will warm it up.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Another charming bit of Andrew insight \u2013 his chat-up line on the dancefloor when he was much younger was, \u201cWhat\u2019s it like to have a royal c**k rub up against your leg?\u201d<\/p>\n What a smoothie.<\/p>\n Then there is this story. Gordonstoun is the famed, austere Scottish boarding school attended by Prince Philip, then a tender Prince Charles who was remorselessly bullied, and then Andrew, who thrived in the world of muddy rugger scrums and taunting smaller boys. (The school is nicknamed \u2018Colditz in kilts\u2019.) <\/p>\n In the 90s, Princess Anne sent her children Peter and Zara Phillips there too, and \u201cAndrew used to return to Gordonstoun, ostensibly to visit\u201d them.<\/p>\n A former pupil has told Lownie that they saw the royal \u201cchatting to the third form [year nine] girls in their dormitory. I did not witness anything untoward happening and I presume if it was him that he had permission to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n Lownie writes, \u201cOne has to ask \u2026 why was he there?\u201d<\/p>\n An excellent question indeed.<\/p>\n And one has to ask, why in god\u2019s name did the royal family do nothing to try and rein in this stupid, gross man, the worst thing to happen to the royal family since Edward VIII started paling around with his good friend Adolf?<\/p>\n After his alleged attack on his dog, Prince Philip went up to the guest involved and said: \u201cWhat you said to my son today was absolutely right and Her Majesty and I fully agree with what you said. Andrew needs a good scolding from time to time.\u201d<\/p>\n YES. So the hell was he never given one?<\/p>\n In February Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the first member of the royal family to be arrested in modern history. (He has previously denied all wrongdoing.) <\/p>\n He has not commented on Lownie\u2019s new claims. <\/p>\n Daniela Elser is an editor and commentator with more than 15 years\u2019 experience working with Australia\u2019s leading media titles. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
