Tea is spilling — and these disgraced Brits will have a hard time cleaning it up.
Former Duke of York Prince Andrew is under investigation by London police and may face jail time, while his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson is also being probed for unscrupulous use of charity money — and they both could be forced out of the UK, according to a new report.
“Andrew is going to be charged with various public offenses and misconduct in public office … he’ll probably go to jail. The case against him is pretty clear … he’s toast,” historian Andrew Lownie, author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” told NewsNation’s Paula Froelich.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s third child, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor “won’t go down for sex trafficking, it will be for financial impropriety,” Lownie told the outlet.
The “Prince” and “His Royal Highness” was stripped of his titles on Nov. 3 amidst allegations he was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous clients
Andrew, 65, was a trade envoy for the UK from 2001 until 2011 and would rub elbows with questionable characters in countries such as Libya, Kazakhstan and Laos — forgoing embassies to stay at five-star hotels and rack up high bills.
The police are also looking into claims that Andrew asked an officer in 2011 to find personal information about his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, 41.
The late Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, claimed in her memoir “Nobody’s Girl” — published posthumously in October — that Jeffrey Epstein ordered her to have sex with Andrew on three occasions, including when she was 17.
The UK campaign group Republic, which advocates for abolishing the monarchy, is also asking lawyers to consider prosecution against Andrew for alleged sexual assault, corruption or misconduct while in public office.
In the meantime, 66-year-old Ferguson, whom Andrew divorced in 1996, is also being investigated for using proceeds from book deals and endorsements for her own gain — instead of the charity they were supposed to be intended for.
“She’s been basically using charities to make money. So she’s gonna be in trouble there,” Lownie continued.
The former power couple will most likely need to move out of England, Lownie predicted.
”Andrew will end up in the UAE like Juan Carlos [Spain’s former king] and as for Fergie, she will likely go to live in Portugal and Switzerland while maintaining a small presence in London with help from friends,” he said.
