Biography
British royalty, the third child and second son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of York. At the time of his birth, he was second in the line of succession to the British throne after Prince Charles; as of November 2019, he is eighth in line. Prince Andrew was the first child born to a reigning monarch since the birth in 1857 of Queen Victoria's youngest child, Princess Beatrice.
Handsome and poised, he grew up sheltered from the press. Not academically oriented, he was mischievous and uncontrollable, a rowdy boy who took best to sports and later, naval service. He gained the nickname of "Randy Andy" for his romantic escapades. A helicopter pilot, he saw active service in the brief Falklands war, flying on multiple missions including anti-surface warfare, Exocet missile decoy, and casualty evacuation.
On 23 July 1986, he married Sarah Ferguson; they had two daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie. It was hoped that marriage to fiery Fergie would tame him but they played hard together and separately, and parted on 19 March 1992. An official palace announcement of their divorce came on 16 April 1996.
On 20 November 2019 he suspended his public duties for the "foreseeable future" following intense negative reaction regarding a television interview for the BBC's Newsnight programme, aired on 16 November 2019, which was mainly concerned with allegations against him of sexual abuse and his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On the morning of 9 April 2021 his father, Prince Philip, died peacefully at Windsor Castle at age 99.
As of January 2022, Andrew is the defendant in a lawsuit over sexual assault filed by Virginia Giuffre in New York State. Andrew is also a person of interest in the criminal investigation into Epstein's affairs; US authorities filed a mutual legal assistance request to the UK to formally interrogate him.
On 13 January 2022, his military affiliations and royal charitable patronages were returned to the Queen and it was announced that he will defend the lawsuit as a "private citizen".
On the afternoon of 8 September 2022, his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died at age 96 in Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
