Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were spotted in public for the first time today after the release of a scathing new biography about the disgraced Duke of York’s life.
Andrew, 65, looked pensive and moody as he drove a black Land Rover Defender alongside his ex-wife of 10 years, Fergie, who also appeared sombre.
The younger brother of King Charles was figuratively torn to shreds in a bombshell book penned by Andrew Lownie, called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.
Of the most explosive claims revealed were alleged words spoken by Jeffrey Epstein, who said of Prince Andrew: ‘We are both serial sex addicts. He’s the only person I have met who is more obsessed with p***y than me.
‘From the reports I’ve got back from the women we’ve shared, he’s the most perverted animal in the bedroom. He likes to engage in stuff that’s even kinky to me – and I’m the king of kink!’
It appears the fallout has had a bearing on the royal who was today pictured in a series of images looking both melancholy and reflective.
The ex-couple were reportedly heading to Windsor Castle for some down time and a casual walk.
Andrew donned a blue long-sleeved collar shirt, and kept one hand on the steering wheel as he glanced solemnly out of the four-by-four’s windscreen window.

The mother of his two children, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Fergie, 65, was seated beside him in the passenger seat. The Duchess of York donned a round-neck blouse while her signature red locks were tied away from her face.
She appeared to ponder on something while seemingly frowning as she looked onward and away from Andrew.
No doubt the book and its sensational claims will be weighing heavily on the ex-couple’s minds as they continue with their itinerary today.
The book, which the Royal Family tried to ban, explores how the couple ‘fell from grace because of the flaws in their own characters and how they were allowed to leverage their privileged position as royals for personal gain with the connivance of the institution itself’.
The book also details claims of Prince Andrew’s infidelity and bedroom antics – from sleeping with scores of women while on ambassador trips to making lewd comments to women he met during everyday life as the late Queen’s favourite son.
It said the nickname ‘Randy Andy’ was given to Prince Andrew while he was at Gordonstoun public school.
He allegedly earned the name because he was already sexually experienced, good looking, and girls were attracted to him.
While he has never had trouble picking up women, a family friend said: ‘He’s not a hunter of women. He rather expects them to come to him. But when they do, he shows himself to be bone idle and not very socially adept at chatting them up’.

Paedophile socialite Jeffrey Epstein (pictured in his mugshot in 2017) said of Prince Andrew: ‘He’s the only person I have met who is more obsessed with p***y than me’
One woman he propositioned said: ‘He’s about as subtle as a hand grenade. His favourite trick is to rub your knee under the table. It’s pathetic’.
At a wedding, he was said to have asked a woman he’d not met before for a dance. When she declined, he responded, ‘I suppose a b*** j** is out of the question, then?’
Another of his lovers said: ‘He is not a Casanova. In the bedroom department, he is a bit of a let-down. He has been dumped by most of the girls linked to him because he is a bore.’
Andrew is also said to have certain juvenile characteristics, such as taking advantage of his position to humiliate others who may not be able to respond.
At a society event in 1992, he reportedly unzipped broadcaster Tania Bryer’s evening dress down the full length of her back.
Then at a dinner party, he allegedly sniffed the pâté served as a first course and turned to his right, saying, ‘This pâté smells. What do you think?’
His female companion leaned forward to smell it and he promptly pushed her face into the dish.
The ex-couple were reportedly heading to Windsor Castle for some down time and a casual walk.
One of his dates recalled how he always introduced himself to her friends as the Duke of York, ‘even when we were dancing on tables at two in the morning at Momo’.
After a house party in Dorset, one young woman complained: ‘One minute you’re having your bum pinched and the next minute he’s reminding you he’s Your Royal Highness’.
According to Emma Gruenbaum, a masseuse at the Wentworth Golf Club that Andrew frequented, he often booked her for massages at Royal Lodge, his home in Windsor Park, but ‘it always felt a bit sleazy. It was clear he wanted more’.
Andrew insisted on being naked and, despite her objections, the massage took place in his bedroom. He would try to hug her and ask about her sex life. On one occasion, while she adjusted the massage table, he remarked, ‘Hey, nice ar**e. Do you take it up the a**e?’
One of his many flings told how their encounters would frequently involve little more than a telephone call from him, a trip by her to an off-licence for a bottle of champagne, a taxi ride to Buckingham Palace, ‘a perfunctory act of love and a muttered goodbye’.
Before her death by suicide in April, Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre said she was approached by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000 and eventually was hired by her as a masseuse for Epstein, who took his own life in prison aged 66 in 2019.
Epstein accuser who earlier this year died by suicide, Virginia Giuffre said she was flown around the world for appointments with men including Prince Andrew while she was 17 and 18 years old
But the couple effectively made her a sexual servant, she said, pressuring her into gratifying not only Epstein but his friends and associates.
Giuffre said she was flown around the world for appointments with men including Prince Andrew while she was 17 and 18 years old.
The men, including Andrew, denied that and questioned Giuffre’s credibility.
The prince settled Guiffre’s lawsuit against him in 2022 for an undisclosed sum, agreeing to make a ‘substantial donation’ to her survivors’ organisation.
While Andrew has long been criticised on both sides of the Atlantic, Allred, the attorney for some of Epstein’s victims, also said she believes Andrew’s name appears in files on Epstein held by the US government that many are asking to be made public.
President Trump, who was close friends with Epstein for decades, suggested while campaigning for the last election that he would release the files.
His campaign team wrote on X: ‘President Trump says he will DECLASSIFY the 9/11 Files, JFK Files, and Epstein Files.’
However, since his election he has backtracked. His former pal Elon Musk has criticised the Trump administration for not releasing the files.
This year, Trump claimed the files were a ‘hoax’ and a ‘scam’ by Democrats who had peddled ‘bulls***’ to former MAGA supporters.
Musk responded on X by saying: ‘Wow, amazing that Epstein ”killed himself” and Ghislaine is in federal prison for a hoax.’
Then on July 15, Trump said: ‘It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sordid, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going.
‘I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.’
He later admitted the US attorney general had not told him the files were a hoax, but said he (Trump) ‘knew’ it was.
