Prince Andrew’s Legal Nightmare: Disgraced Royal Could Still Face Trial as Epstein Accuser’s New Book Is Revealed — Scandal is ‘The Most Serious Crisis for the Monarchy’

**Prince Andrew’s Top Biographer Warns Former Duke of York Could Still Face Court Over Jeffrey Epstein Allegations**

*Published October 21, 2025, 8:01 p.m. ET*

In the wake of disgraced Prince Andrew relinquishing his royal titles, his leading biographer has claimed the former Duke of York could still be held accountable for claims made by another Jeffrey Epstein victim—claims that might lead him to court, RadarOnline.com reveals.

Andrew Lownie, author of *Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York*, made this sensational assertion just one day before Epstein victim and Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, *Nobody’s Girl*, was released on Tuesday, October 21.

**“Serious Crisis for the Monarchy”**

“I think this is probably the most serious crisis for the monarchy since the abdication, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Andrew is actually put on trial,” Lownie boldly stated on *The Telegraph’s* The Daily T podcast.

“There are going to be more damaging revelations. There will be more leaked emails. Another victim’s memoir is coming out next month.”

“Who knows what might emerge from Congress or if other victims will come forward,” he added.

Lownie alleged that in Giuffre’s case, Andrew “tried to avoid the summons by going up to Balmoral. He refused to cooperate with either the victim’s lawyers or law enforcement agencies, even with mutual treaty assistance being used to try and get him to come forward.”

“He and Sarah Ferguson are material witnesses. For the sake of the victims, I hope they will cooperate in the future because, as people who were in these houses, they would have seen a lot that could be very useful,” Lownie claimed.

Like Andrew, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 66, also relinquished her royal title and has been embroiled in the Epstein scandal.

**Andrew Settled Lawsuit Out of Court**

Andrew settled his civil sexual assault lawsuit with Giuffre out of court in February 2022.

**“Vigorous” Denial**

“I don’t think this can be any argument. Andrew has never responded to any of the allegations made to him,” Lownie commented regarding the prince and Giuffre’s claim that she was forced to have sex with the late Queen Elizabeth II’s son.

When host Camilla Tominey noted that Andrew “vehemently” denied Giuffre’s claims, Lownie responded, “He could have addressed the allegations rather than simply deny them.”

In Andrew’s announcement relinquishing his titles, he again stated, “As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with the disgraced prince when she was underage, detailing the encounters in her memoir.

**A “Distraction” to King Charles III’s Reign**

Andrew initially stepped back from royal duties after Epstein’s 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges. The financier died that same year in prison while awaiting trial.

The prince was later stripped of his military titles and royal patronages by the queen in 2022.

On October 17, Andrew announced that after “a discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.”

Lownie criticized the prince’s response, saying, “This matter should have been dealt with a long time ago. If he were the honorable man who put his country and the monarchy first, it would have been dealt with. He would have left Royal Lodge.”

The author added, “I don’t feel the palace has dealt with this very well in terms of damage limitation. It’s too little, too late.”

Ariana Grande and Boyfriend Ethan Slater Spark Split Speculation Two Years After ‘Homewrecker’ Scandal — ‘They’ve Both Been Running Hot and Cold With Each Other’

**Oct. 17, 2025 – Published 3:00 p.m. ET**

Two years after *Wicked* co-stars turned lovers Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater were caught in a messy “cheating” scandal, the pair have sparked breakup rumors, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

It’s been months since Grande, 32, and Slater, 33, have been spotted together in public, leading many to question whether or not they secretly called it quits.

### Grande and Slater’s ‘Homewrecker’ Scandal

Grande’s romance with Slater did not get off on the right foot, to say the least. At the time rumors began swirling about the co-stars, who were working together in London, the actress had recently split from her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, 30. Meanwhile, Slater was married to his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a son.

When Slater and Jay suddenly split, Grande was branded a “home-wrecker” by critics, though she fiercely denied having an affair.

Despite efforts from Grande’s camp to squash cheating rumors, tensions escalated when Jay penned an emotional and scathing essay for *The Cut*, in which she described being “blindsided” by her marriage ending, suggesting the *Wicked* couple’s version of events didn’t add up.

While they faced backlash, Grande and Slater didn’t hide their romance while attending award shows and promotional events for the film.

### A Purposeful Retreat from the Public Eye

An insider claimed the couple’s mysterious retreat from the public eye in recent months has been an intentional choice ahead of the release of the sequel *Wicked: For Good*.

The source said:
*”They’ve both purposely cleared their schedules until Wicked: For Good is released in November. They’re exhausted from shooting and from all the promotional work Ariana has had to do for Wicked.”*

According to the tipster, the famous pair plan to take an extended holiday, adding:
*”Now all that’s over, they’re going to take some vacation time. They plan on touring Europe and Asia, too. They also want to relax on a beach somewhere and just chill for a couple of weeks.”*

### Rumors of a Rocky Relationship

Separate sources painted a far different picture of the state of the duo’s relationship. An insider revealed:
*”Ariana and Ethan have been on and off for most of this year,”* before noting the Broadway star’s absence from his girlfriend’s side last month at the MTV VMA Awards, where the *thank u, next* singer took home three awards.

The insider continued:
*”He chose not to attend the MTV VMAs with her because they’d had an argument just days before. But they made up soon after. They’ve both been running hot and cold with each other.”*

Others alleged Grande and Slater were keeping their status a secret until after the sequel’s premiere. A source claimed:
*”What they have going is more than a little toxic, but they’re keeping it together for now. At least until after Wicked: For Good opens. After that, it’s doubtful they’ll stay together. The relationship is unhealthy for both.”*

*”At one time, they discussed marriage, but that is no longer on the table. They fell head over heels in love when they first hooked up. But those days are over.”*

Stay tuned for updates on Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater as the release of *Wicked: For Good* approaches.
