More problems for Andrew, though not surprising really. An anonymous Tory donor, read banker friend, apparently paid off an over one million pound loan for him when he was a working royal, the Times reports. .

Placing this article here as it covers the entire York family.


A look back at the York Family?s tumultuous year ? a time filled with joy, heartbreak and dilemma ? Royal Central As the title suggests it does cover the highlights and low points for the Yorks in 2021. The DoY and Sarah, Duchess of York welcomed their first grandson and granddaughter in the same year. Everyone experienced the loss of the DoE and Jack's father George in addition to along Andrew's continued legal issues.

ne could say it has been quite a busy year for the York family with both highlights and some more difficult moments. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie both welcomed their first child, Sarah, Duchess of York, published another book, and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, found himself dealing with legal issues in the United States. With 2021 coming to a close and 2022 upon us, Royal Central is taking a look back at the year the York family had in 2021.

Security breach at Windsor Castle as a woman attacked Prince Andrew's car.

Royal security breach after woman ambushes Prince Andrew?s car whilst driving through Windsor ? Royal Central

A woman impeded the Duke of York?s car on Friday as he drove through Great Windsor Park.

The unidentified woman ran into the path of Prince Andrew?s car and started banging on his windows.

Prince Andrew, who was behind the wheel at the time, did not acknowledge the woman.

Police and Windsor Castle security were later seen talking to the woman and she was later arrested and taken to police custody.

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said that officers were called to Albert Road, Windsor at around 10am on Friday morning.

They added: ?A 50-year-old woman, of no fixed abode, has been arrested on suspicion of using threatening/abusive/insulting words/behaviour to caused harassment/alarm/distress.?

This is the second time that Prince Andrew?s security has been breached this year.

Back in April, a woman was mistakenly allowed to access the Duke of York?s home.

Security officers at Royal Lodge granted the woman access to Prince Andrew?s residence after she told them she had a lunch appointment with the Prince.

I'm opting to place this article here as I believe it applied to Prince Andrew's reported behavior that impacted his royal duties including his high profile appointments and not solely to his association with Jeffrey Epstein. As many of us have long suspected it appears that the Duke of York's staff were too afraid to stand up to him and it negatively affected their working relationship with him. IMVHO his  alleged abusive behavior  should have been the catalyst for Buckingham Palace HR to initiate policies pertaining to the "principals" and their staff.

I'm sorry for his long frustrated staff as it is so difficult to work with anyone who refuses to take the sound advice of more knowledgeable and experienced staff. Glad that Charles and William stepped in when they did but I wish it that had occurred long before with HM and the DoE taking a firmer hand with their second son.

Royal staff 'sleepwalked' into Prince Andrew crisis and were 'too scared' to stand up to him | Daily Mail Online

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior former royal adviser stressed that while there was no knowledge of the extent of the duke's friendship with Epstein and Maxwell to anyone outside of the prince's private office, the 'Andrew problem' was a long-running issue for the royal household in general.

'Anyone who even dared to offer their professional advice that maybe his way wasn't the right one was met with a decisive 'f*** off out of my office',' the source said.

The account is backed up by other former royal staff, all of whom claim the prince acted as if he 'didn't have to answer to anyone' and was allowed to 'go rogue'.Particularly troublesome, it was said, was Andrew's role as a roving trade 'ambassador', which saw him repeatedly criticised for cosying up to highly controversial world leaders and businessmen.

A former Buckingham Palace staff member recalled how it was an 'impossible job' to persuade the prince or his advisers to take any instruction. 'The duke made clear that the only person he answered to was the Queen,' they said.

'He wouldn't take advice from anyone. [He] acted with total impunity and staff were just too scared to stand up to him as a member of the Royal Family. Her Majesty almost always backed him and he fully exploited that.

'There's an element of Buckingham Palace sleepwalking into his whole crisis. Andrew would tell his family that it was all untrue and it would all go away.'
