“I KNOW THERE IS WORSE TO COME” — ANDREW LOWNIE WARNS SARAH FERGUSON MAY NEVER RECOVER AS SHADOWS CLOSE IN AROUND ANDREW The words land quietly but carry a chilling weight as royal biographer Andrew Lownie surveys a scene already stripped bare, suggesting that for Sarah Ferguson, the damage is not only financial or reputational but existential, a slow unravelling set against years of proximity to scandal and isolation, while allegations continue to circle Prince Andrew, and the lingering question of influence and access refuses to fade, with Lownie pointing to reporting that Jeffrey Epstein sought pathways into royal power through Andrew, a dynamic that has cast a long, corrosive shadow back toward the late Queen Elizabeth II and left those closest to the Duke caught in the fallout, making Ferguson’s current predicament feel less like a chapter closing and more like the prelude to consequences still unfolding, as the institution tightens and the margins grow colder…”

I know there is worse to come, says ANDREW LOWNIE. ‘Homeless’ Sarah Ferguson will NEVER recover from this… while Epstein was using Andrew to get to the Queen
A Royal biographer has claimed ‘there is worse to come’ for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as the former Prince was pictured for the first time since being mentioned in the latest dump of documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced royal, who was seen driving his car and later riding a horse in Windsor on Saturday, featured several times in over three million documents published last night by the US Department of Justice linked to the paedophile financier.

Among the documents was the revelation that Andrew invited Epstein to dinner at Buckingham Palace days after his house arrest ended, while a series of disturbing photographs appear to show the ex-Duke on all fours over a woman.

Elsewhere, in the document dump, screenshots and scans appear to show the former Prince exchanged emails with Epstein about meeting a ‘beautiful’ 26-year-old Russian woman.

Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson also featured, with one email appearing to show her thanking Epstein for ‘being the brother I have always wished for’.

Andrew Lownie, a royal historian who published a biography about the former Duke and Duchess, told the Daily Mail he believes there is ‘worse to come’ for Andrew.

He added that Sarah’s close relationship with Epstein was equally ‘damaging’, adding the former husband and wife’s reputations ‘are absolutely in the dust’ and ‘neither of them can ever recover from what has been emerging’.

The former couple lost Windsor mansion, previously home to the Queen Mother, following further revelations over their relationship with Epstein last year.

Earlier this week it was claimed that Sarah will not join Andrew in relocating to Sandringham because she ‘would prefer to stay in the Windsor area’ – leaving her in the midst of a ‘housing crisis’ as she is yet to find a new permanent property.

‘[The Royal family] had plenty of opportunities to discipline Andrew, to remove him from his posts in the past to deal with him, but they’ve only done so because of public pressure and media pressure,’ Mr Lownie continued.

‘But I don’t think any of this will come as a surprise to the Palace. They’ve been bracing themselves for the stuff to emerge at some point.’

Mr Lownie also accused the King’s brother and former sister-in-law of lying about ending their relationship with Epstein even after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2009.

He said: ‘You can’t believe a single word either Andrew or Sarah Ferguson says and I learned that over my four years of research.

‘They lie even about things they don’t need to lie about. So, I’m afraid their reputations are absolutely in the dust. Neither of them can ever recover from what’s been emerging.’

But Mr Lownie warned there is ‘worse to come’ for the former Duke, saying ‘this is only a very small percentage of the material the DOJ collected. There’s also more material with the Epstein estate, which they could release if they wished to.’

The documents also revealed a number of gushing emails, seemingly exchanged between Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell, in which they told one another they loved each other.

Mr Lownie said this was further proof that the pair were romantically involved, having known each other for many years.

‘They were lovers, they had been lovers. They have known each other for years. It was a very close relationship. It was very tight. Ghislaine was Epstein’s right-hand woman. She was very, very close to Andrew.

‘Andrew was very integral to the whole operation. He would have seen everything, he would have known an awful lot. I think it’s very telling that he ran away to Balmoral to avoid the summons. He’s never made any comment on any of the allegations.

‘In the last few years, he’s, refused to apologize to the victims in any of the statements. He’s never cooperated with law enforcement or the victim’s lawyers. He is deeply, deeply implicated, which is why he’s not going to go and talk to the Senate or anyone else.’

Andrew has repeatedly denied all accusations against him relating to his association with Epstein.

Mr Lownie claimed Andrew’s involvement with Epstein ‘is the biggest scandal to the royal family in over 100 years’, adding that the disgraced paedophile had been using him to get to the late Queen.

‘Epstein got very close to the Royal Family and he was using Andrew to get to the Queen. I think Epstein thought that he could be doing business things for the Queen.

‘I have no doubt that the members of the royal family probably met Epstein, that hasn’t emerged yet. The family were helping Andrew, whether inadvertently or advertently, knowing who the people were.

‘But, he had the support of the family for what he was doing, so it wouldn’t surprise me to have the Queen meeting some of these people, like Epstein.’

Elsewhere, biographer Tom Bower said the latest documents were ‘absolutely devastating’, adding ‘the photos alone of Andrew on his knees are pretty awful’.

He told GB News: ‘It further underlines how Andrew lied about his relationship with Epstein, claiming he had nothing to do with him after prison, but here he is exchanging emails about women both in London and elsewhere.

‘It’s utterly devastating and thank God the King stripped him of his titles and isolated him.

‘But it really does suggest Epstein was supplying women to Andrew because he was suggesting this particular girl visiting England, would be visiting Andrew and they exchanged texts and emails and I think that’s pretty damning and sordid.

‘It confirms for too many years the royal family buried this issue and didn’t want to grasp the nettle just when the truth was so obvious for so long.’

Photos and emails related to the disgraced paedophile continue to emerge following the release of more than three million documents published by the US Department of Justice on Friday.

In three photographs released last night, a man believed to be Andrew can be seen leaning over the woman who is sprawled face up with their arms spread out.

He is staring directly at the camera in one picture, while in another he has placed his left hand on the female’s stomach. The man, thought to be the former Duke, is barefoot and is wearing jeans and a white polo shirt, along with a silver watch.

Another person can be seen in the photographs, sitting in a leopard-print chair with their feet up on a table.

Like much of the material released in the Epstein files, it is unclear when or where the images were taken and no further context is given. Last month, a photo of Andrew lying on the laps of five women at Sandringham was released in another batch of files.

Another email exchange appears to show that Epstein had offered to set up a dinner for Andrew with a ‘clever, beautiful and trustworthy’ 26-year-old Russian woman, saying: ‘She has your email.’

The prince, who would have been 50 at the time, replied that he would be ‘delighted to see her’. And he cheerfully asked the convicted child sex predator, whose house arrest had finished just days earlier: ‘Good to be free?’

Royal commentator Jenny Bond criticised Andrew’s judgement over the alleged incident, raising concerns that such a meeting would have been a huge security issue.

She told Sky News: ‘Well, you have to wonder. I mean, did some brain cells not whirr into action, saying “Now this doesn’t seem like a good idea, a 26-year-old Russian beautiful woman wants to have dinner with me”.

‘I mean, did it not occur to him that this could be a real security risk? Did the Profumo affair not fire into his brain? Apparently not. Andrew does not seem to engage the brain cells that he has very readily when it comes to Epstein.’

Also among the documents was the revelation that Andrew invited Epstein to dinner at Buckingham Palace days after his house arrest ended. He promised ‘lots of privacy’ to the paedophile shortly after he was granted his freedom following a conviction for soliciting a minor.

In the astonishing email, from September 2010, Epstein requested ‘private time’ while on a visit to London, to which Andrew replied: ‘We could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.’

It is not clear if the offer was taken up. But just two days later, the pair were back in email contact, with Epstein asking the then-prince ‘g [Ghislaine Maxwell] is here with me…what are you doing?’

Andrew replied to say he had a ‘lunch with a Saudi Prince and then out to secret intelligence firm’, before telling Epstein: ‘Delighted for you to come here to BP [Buckingham Palace]. Come with whomever and I’ll be here free from 1600ish.’

The exchange came during what must have been one of Epstein’s first sojourns outside the US, having served a 13-month sentence for sex crimes mostly in his Palm Beach mansion following a sweetheart plea deal with prosecutors.
