Wednesday 5 October 2022 07:39 PM Prince Andrew braces for new PR nightmare in bombshell new documentary trends now
Prince Andrew is bracing for a new PR nightmare as a string of royal experts have branded him 'an idiot', a 'spoiled brat' and a 'narcissist' as part of a new documentary exploring his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The Duke of York, 62, is also branded 'the runt of a litter' who 'couldn't keep his trousers closed in bombshell documentary 'Prince Andrew: Banished' that will air on US channel Peacock this evening.
It will explore how Andrews 'antics' as a royal 'brought scandal and disgrace' on his family and the 'privilege, jealousy, desire, and greed' that pushed him into friendships with paedophile financier Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
The documentary hears from a number of former royal employees and journalists, including ex-press secretary Dickie Arbiter.
He tells the documentary: 'The problem is, the man’s an idiot. There’s always one runt of the litter, and Andrew was it.'
Royal author Phil Dampier adds: 'He’s never smoked or taken drugs or drunk alcohol but his one big thing is sex.'
And journalist Helen Kirwan-Taylor says: 'The talk of the dinner parties was he couldn’t keep his trousers closed.'
Andrew's royal career ended in disgrace after he was forced to pay millions of pounds in an out-of-court settlement to his sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre earlier this year.

She claimed he sexually abused her three times in 2001 when she was 17 after being trafficked by Epstein, though Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
The settlement was not an admission of liability, but the Queen's supposedly favourite son was stripped of his royal patronages and honorary military titles.
Describing the ordeal, reporter Annette Witheridge told the documentary that the 'entire saga boils down to sex and greed', adding that it was 'a lifetime in the making'.
The documentary's synopsis says: 'Prince Andrew: Banished unpacks the tumultuous story of how Prince Andrew, Duke of York - formerly regarded as the attractive, beloved son of Queen Elizabeth II and decorated naval officer - whose behavior antics throughout his career as a Royal brought scandal and disgrace to the 1200-year legacy of the British Royal Family.
'Through new interviews with palace insiders, journalists, members of Andrew’s social circle, and the legal team that brought the allegations to light, the documentary takes a deep dive into the world of privilege, jealousy, desire, and greed that pushed Andrew; first, into the orbit of notorious sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and then into a sordid sex trafficking scandal that
