The former Prince Andrew is under investigation again, this time for an alleged encounter with a woman at Royal Ascot in 2002.<\/p>\n

Police are reportedly \u201cexamining events in 2002 as they consider wider possible crimes by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, including sexual misconduct, \u00adcorruption and fraud,\u201d reports The Sunday Times.<\/p>\n

The incident is said to have taken place in 2002 at the famed racing festival, which was attended by many members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth, the future King Charles, Prince Edward, and Andrew\u2019s oldest daughter, Princess Beatrice.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the claim was reported to the police immediately or was lodged more recently.<\/p>\n

However, detectives at Thames Valley police are believed to be looking into the matter as part of a broader investigation into the late Queen\u2019s second son.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the former royal was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office for passing on classified information to the late paedophile financier, Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Epstein died by apparent suicide in a prison cell in 2019.<\/p>\n

Last year, King Charles stripped his brother of all his royal titles amid the ongoing scandal regarding his ties to Epstein. He and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, were also booted out of their longtime home, Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n

He is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time the disgraced former royal has been accused of acting inappropriately around women and girls. <\/p>\n

Mountbatten-Windsor was accused of raping Virginia Giuffre when she was a minor. Giuffre claimed she was sex-trafficked by Epstein and his sidekick, Ghislaine Maxwell. He vehemently denied the charges but made a multimillion-dollar payment to Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025.<\/p>\n

Andrew Lownie, author of \u201cEntitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,\u201d told Page Six exlusively that Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s uncouth behaviour goes back decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis chat-up line was, \u2018What\u2019s it feel like to have the royal c\u2013k against your thigh?\u2019\u201d Lownie claimed in a recent interview. \u201cI mean, just [an] extraordinary sense of entitlement, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lownie also alleged that there are \u201cjust lots and lots of stories\u201d of Andrew behaving badly, adding that the former royal has \u201ca strong sense of entitlement\u201d and seemingly enjoyed embarrassing women.<\/p>\n
