Ferguson.' this person continued. "Andrew 
feels responsible for Sarah. She walked away 
from their divorce with nothing, unlike Prin-
cess Diana. who got millions from Prince 
Charles. There have been newspaper reports 
that Sarah got £15.000 [S24.500] from Jeffrey. 
but I think that Sarah has actually received 
hundreds of thousands of dollars from him." 
I Ferguson's spokesman confirmed that she 
had received £15.000 from Epstein but weaft 
aware of any additional amount.) 
"You have to understand that Andrew 
still loves Sarah." the friend went on. "I 
was with Andrew and Sarah one day when 
they discussed getting remarried. At the 
time. Sarah didn't want to remarry An-
drew. because she thought she had a great 
career in America with Weight Watchers 
and books and all that. She thought her 
career would continue to support her ex-
pensive lifestyle. and she didn't want to give 
all that up to become a boring royal again. 
Then, after Sarah's American career col-
her cool relationship with Prince Charles, 
with whom she never properly bonded when 
he was a child. Charles was born just after 
World War II, when Elizabeth was over-
%%kilned by her awesome new public n-spon-
sibilities. She was frequently away on extend-
ed foreign trips, and when she was at home 
she deferred on family matters to her hus-
band. Prince Philip, who was known to be-
little their shy. sensitive son cruelly in public. 
By the time Andrew was born. 12 years 
later, things were different. The Queen had 
gained a great deal of self-confidence, and 
she wanted to make up for the shortcom-
ings in her parenting of Chides. Right after 
Andrew's birth, she sent a note to her cousin 
Lady Mary Cambridge. "The baby is ador-
able." she wrote. -All in all, he's going to be 
terribly spoilt by all of us. I'm sure." 
The spoiling never stopped. "Whenever 
she hears that Andrew is in Buckingham 
Palace. she'll send him a handwritten note. 
and he always goes to sex her." a former Pal-
which was the face of the foolishly laughing 
prince," she said. "I told him. 'Go away!' It 
turned out that he had gone to all the girls' 
FOODS."
Another woman who knows Andrew 
well told The Times of London that he 
looks uncomfortable at parties unless he's 
got a girl fawning over him. "[He is] pretty 
base in terms of women." she said. "He is 
a boobs-and-bum man. There is nothing 
sophisticated about it. One minute you're 
having your bum pinched, and the next 
minute he is reminding you he is Your 
Royal Highness." 
Since his divorce. Andrew's most serious 
romance has been with Amanda Staveky. 
Andrew invited her to Buckingham Palace 
and Balmoral. the royal estate in Scotland. 
He called her "darling," and she called him 
"babe" 
"He all but got down on bended knee 
to ask Amanda to marry him." Richard 
Kay, the Daily Mails veteran royal writer,

THE ADULT ANDREW AS "A MAN 
WITH A RT BOTTOM WI IO I. U GUS AT HIS OWN JOKES" 
lapsed, it was Andrew who didn't want to 
remarry her. He told me, 'Given Sarah's 
weaknesses, she wouldn't make an appro-
priate royal anymore.' Also. for the sake 
of his daughters. Andrew didn't want to 
cause a commotion at Buckingham Palace. 
"After Jeffrey was convicted. I phoned 
Andrew and told him, 'You cannot have 
a relationship with Jeffrey. You can't do 
these things.' And he said, 'Stop giving me 
a hard time. You're such a puritan' From 
there. our conversation descended into a 
screaming match, and finally Andrew said. 
'Leave me alone. Jeffrey's my friend. Being 
loyal to your friends is a virtue. And I'm 
going to be loyal to him' 
"Andrew has a stubborn streak. He does 
stupid things out of hubris, to show that 
he can do them. If he likes someone, he'll 
ignore the truth about that person. And 
that goes both for Jeffrey and Sarah. He 
thinks that he can power his way through 
everything. He's an adored second son. 
His mother, the Quccn. dotes on him, fa-
vors him above all her other children, and 
excuses his every foible." 
A framed photograph of Andrew in his 
naval uniform is prominently displayed on 
the Queen's desk in her study at Bucking-
ham Palace. Her undisguised affection for 
her second son stands in sharp contrast to

ace aide told Geoffrey Levy and Richard 
Kay of the Daily Mail. "If he's in jeans, he'll 
change into a suit. And he always greets 
'Mummy' in the same way—bowing from 
the neck, kissing her hand, and then kissing 
her on both checks. It's a little ritual that she 
adores. Believe me, he can do no wrong." 
Like many spoiled younger sons, An-
drew often comes across as arrogant. self-
indulgent. and thoughtless of other people's 
feelings. A classmate from his days at Ger-
donstoun--the school that Philip, Charles, 
and Andrew all attended reportedly de-
scribed the adult Andrew as "a man with 
a fat bottom who laughs at his own jokes." 
At a recent lobster dinner. one of the guests 
turned to Andrew and said. "Sir, you've got 
the big one." To which Andrew shot back. 
"How do you know?" and broke into peals 
of laughter. 
The Ladies' Man

Is behavior toward wom-
en runs the gamut from 
boorish to oafish. A 
woman who attended a 
weekend party with him 
at a country house in 
Dorset recalled his clumsy manners. "I 
woke up on Saturday morning with a fire 
extinguisher pointed at my face, behind 
told me. "He clicked with Amanda. She's a 
feisty girl. a strawberry blonde. and an ex-
trovert. Andrew's fascinated by money. and 
Amanda's got plenty of that. She sounded 
out a lot of people. including me. about 
what life would be like as a member of the 
royal family. and she came as close as pos-
sible to saying yes. But to become the Duch-
ess of York she'd have had to put herself in 
the background and give up her career, and 
she didn't want to do that." 
There were reports that Fergie encour-
aged Andrew to marry Staveky. However. 
given the unconventional nature of Fergit's 
relationship with her 
former husband. there If iivientll 
is reason to doubt that. 
In fact. those who 
know Fergie wonder 
if she has sabotaged 
most of Andrew's female relationships and 
would have found a way to scuttle the mar-
riage if Amanda had accepted Andrew's 
proposal. According to this line of reason-
ing, Fergie still exercises a powerful hold 
over Andrew and counts on her access to 
his sources of money. 
"Andrew hired a team of accoun-
tants to investigate Fergie's debts." said a 
royal-watcher. "He paid off several million 
pounds worth of , II
