New Biography Spurs Fresh Accounts of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Alleged Entitlement and Rudeness

Accounts collected by biographer Andrew Lownie renew scrutiny following the loss of his titles.

Overview

  • Former equerry Colin Burgess says Andrew barked “You, wrap that!” at Clarence House and recalls his frequent “Do it!” catchphrase.
  • Lownie's book depicts him addressing the Queen Mother's staff like subordinates, issuing commands such as “I want this done now.”
  • Society writer Petronella Wyatt describes him as self-important and out of touch, saying he believed in a “Divine Right of Kings.”
  • Former royal bodyguard Ken Wharfe recounts being told to give up his plane seat so Andrew could have the window, calling his manners awful.
  • The biography cites 2002 and 2010 driving incidents, including a reported collision that injured a Buckingham Palace officer and a separate speeding stop where he was reportedly let off.
