Prince Andrew has been accused of kicking his Labrador in the head during a pheasant shoot at Sandringham before allegedly telling a shocked guest to 'f*** off' when challenged over the incident, according to claims in a forthcoming book by royal biographer Andrew Lownie.
The allegation appears in Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, Lownie's yet‑to‑be‑published examination of Prince Andrew and his siblings. The reported episode is said to have taken place at the late queen's Norfolk estate during a mid-morning break in a shoot and has not been independently verified. Buckingham Palace and representatives of Prince Andrew were approached for comment in the original report, but no response was noted. Nothing is confirmed at this stage, and the claims should be treated with caution.
