Once known as Queen Elizabeth's favorite son and a handsome war hero, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor—formerly Prince Andrew—is now facing public humiliation. His disastrous friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has resulted in Andrew being stripped of his titles and evicted from his longtime home, Royal Lodge. Now, stories from his school days have resurfaced, showing early flashes of superiority and a hard time getting close to people.
In Andrew Lownie's biography of the ex-Duke of York, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, the author spoke to a number of Andrew's former classmates at Gordonstoun, the same Scottish boarding school attended by Prince Philip, King Charles and Prince Edward. One woman recalls Andrew as "a very slimy so-and-so, arrogant, pleased with himself, a bully."
