Prince Andrew finds himself engulfed in renewed controversy as shocking allegations surface regarding a weekend-long
orgy he allegedly hosted with numerous women in Thailand during an official royal event. This revelation comes amidst increased scrutiny regarding his connections with
Jeffrey Epstein.
The 65-year-old Duke of York, who distanced himself from public engagements in 2019 following a disastrous appearance on BBCâs Newsnight, is featured in a new biography titled

According to the biography, during a
diplomatic visit in 2006 to Bangkok for King Bhumibol Adulyadejâs diamond jubilee,
Andrew reportedly arranged for a continuous stream of women to visit him at a luxury hotel suite.
âOften, as soon as one left, another would arrive,â cited an anonymous witness in Lownieâs book. Staff members, trained to maintain discretion with visiting royals, were said to be taken aback by the scale of these encounters.
Lownieâs sources suggest that over 40 women were brought to Andrewâs suite throughout that weekend, indicating a troubling pattern of behavior.
A royal source commented, âThe Thai orgy allegations, coupled with the pressing fallout from the Epstein scandal, effectively annihilate any chance of Andrew returning as a functioning member of the royal family. These revelations underscore his reckless disregard for his royal duties, and the institution cannot afford any more damage by allowing his reinstatement.â

These allegations align with enduring rumors within Bangkok suggesting Andrew and another distinguished visitor shared women in a repugnant demonstration of power.
Lownie mentions that Andrew, buoyed by his royal status, engaged in behavior that was flagrant and lacked any attempt at discretion, reflecting his deeply entrenched sense of impunity.
âAndrew has acted for years as if conventional rules did not pertain to himâand until recently, he largely escaped accountability,â remarked a source.
The resurfacing of the Epstein scandal, fueled by the disclosure of a 50th birthday book gifted to Epstein that included salacious notes from various individualsâincluding Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former UK ambassador Peter Mandelsonâheightens the scrutiny surrounding Andrewâs infamous connections.

Andrew once claimed he bore no regrets over his association with Epstein, even post the financierâs 2008 conviction. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epsteinâs confidante currently serving time for sex trafficking, is also tied to Andrew through photographs that capture their shared moments.
An associate of Epstein disclosed to Lownie that Epstein often asserted Andrew was âthe only man he had ever met who was more addicted to sexual encounters than himself.â
The claims made by
Virginia Giuffre regarding sexual assault, all of which Andrew has persistently denied, ultimately culminated in a significant
financial settlement reached in 2022, effectively squashing any hopes he had of a return to his prior royal role.
The current allegations from the Thai orgy, according to Lownie, reveal that Andrewâs conduct was not sporadic but rather part of a systematic pattern.
âThis incident was not merely an isolated slip; it represented an orchestrated influx of women summoned during his official visit, funded by taxpayers. It glaringly highlights both his sense of entitlement and how extensively he misused his status,â noted another source close to the circle.
