14 Scandals That Will Change the Way You Think About the Royals

Prince Andrew, Duke of York kicked off 2015 with a series of negative headlines related to a sex scandal. Claims state that years ago, he had forced sex with a young woman when she was 17 years old. She alleges that she suffered sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire investment baker, from 1999 to 2002, and that Epstein — once a friend of Prince Andrew — ordered her to have sexual relations with the prince. The Palace quickly denied the claims.
