The author recalled claims about how Andy slept with more than 1,000 women, with hotel staff reporting lines of escorts being ushered into his rooms while on overseas duty.
One Reuters correspondent claimed during a 2006 trip to Bangkok, more than 40 women were sent to his hotel suite.
Lownie claimed: “The evidence from those who witnessed his behavior abroad is extraordinary – staff and officials told me he treated diplomatic trips as sexual shopping expeditions.”
The duke’s behavior, Lownie argued, “veered from the predatory to the puerile.”
A masseuse alleged Andrew insisted on being naked during sessions, peppering her with crude sexual remarks. And a former palace employee claimed staff members were warned to keep clear of him after complaints of harassment.
Lownie claimed: “What emerges is a pattern — a man who believed the normal rules never applied to him, whether with women, staff or the public.”
Andrew’s vulgarity, the book claimed, was matched by a childish sense of humor.
Dinner guests recalled his obsession with lavatorial jokes, fart pranks and a fixation with whoopee cushions.
“For a senior royal to reduce women to tears with bullying one moment, and then amuse himself with poo cushions the next, is telling,” Lownie claimed.
