If the accusations are true, it will likely irrevocably damage Andrew's already tarnished reputation. However, it is unclear if he would face any legal repercussions, as the woman claims that it was Epstein — not Andrew — who forced her to have sex. Still, Andrew's relationship with Epstein has been established for years and he's always managed to bounce back from the various scandals. While Andrew is far from a public favorite, his antics tend to go relatively unnoticed by the international press since his celebrity is eclipsed by younger royals like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. Still, the newest accusations are difficult to ignore, and it will be incredibly difficult for Andrew to emerge from the scandal without seeing his reputation take a considerable hit. Worse still, the scandal, with its mix of sex, money, and illegal activities, will likely lower the public's opinion of the royal family as a whole.
