Former Prince Andrew is being investigated again over the Ascot incident

The former Prince Andrew is being investigated again, this time for an alleged encounter with a woman at Royal Ascot in 2002.
It is reported that the police are “examining the events of 2002 as they consider the many crimes committed by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, including sexual immorality, corruption and fraud,” reported the Sunday Times.
This incident is said to have happened in 2002 at a famous racing event, which was attended by many members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth, the future king Charles, Prince Edward, and Andrew’s eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice.
It is not clear whether the claim was reported to the police immediately or filed recently.
However, Thames Valley Police are believed to be investigating the matter as part of a wider investigation into the Queen’s second son.
Earlier this year, the former king was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office for passing classified information to the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein died in an apparent suicide in a prison cell in 2019.
Last year, King Charles stripped his brother of all royal titles amid the ongoing scandal surrounding his relationship with Epstein. He and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, were also evicted from their longtime home, Royal Lodge.
He is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
It is not the first time that the disgraced former king has been accused of inappropriate behavior among women and girls.
Mountbatten-Windsor was accused of raping Virginia Giuffre when she was young. Giuffre said she was sex-trafficked by Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. He strongly denied the charges but paid a million dollars to Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025.
Andrew Lownie, author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” told Page Six exclusively that Mountbatten-Windsor’s misconduct goes back decades.
“His conversation was, ‘What’s it like to have a royal c–k on your lap?'” Lownie said in a recent interview. “I mean, just [an] strange sense of propriety, isn’t it?”
Lownie also alleged that there were “just too many stories” of Andrew misbehaving, adding that the former royal had a “strong sense of entitlement” and appeared to enjoy shy women.
