In a revealing segment on Good Morning Britain, presenters Richard Madeley and Ranvir Singh received a stark update on the ongoing scandal surrounding Prince Andrew, warning that the current revelations are merely the 'tip of the iceberg'.
Biographer's Chilling Warning
The ITV daytime show, which aired on 29 December 2025, hosted Andrew Lownie, the author of a biography on the Duke of York. The discussion followed the programme's earlier delivery of heartbreaking news and focused on Andrew's naming in the recently unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents.
Lownie issued a direct warning, stating he had uncovered a significant amount of further material that could not be used in his first book for legal reasons but would feature in an updated edition. "This is only the tip of the iceberg," he told the GMB hosts.
Royal Protection and Reputational Damage
The biographer claimed that while the Royal Family has publicly tried to distance itself from Andrew—who was stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages—he is still being protected behind the scenes. "The royals have tried to cut him loose," Lownie said, citing wider questions about privilege and accountability.
He also suggested the optics of Andrew's daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, being with him at Sandringham were poor, alleging they had been involved in "some of these activities" and that related material would eventually emerge.
Pressure on Prince William and the Monarchy
Ranvir Singh pressed Lownie on the pressure facing the Prince of Wales, noting Prince William's reported desire for his future accession not to be clouded by the scandal. Lownie confirmed William recognises the "huge reputational damage to the monarchy" and is pushing for action.
When questioned on what that action might be—whether simply sending Andrew away or pursuing extradition and questioning under oath—Lownie was clear. He asserted that people within the establishment "have not been open about what they knew" and the issue of potential US extradition "isn't going to go away."
The segment underscored the continuing fallout for the monarchy, with one specific mention in the files depicting Andrew "sprawled across the laps of several unidentified women," a detail likely to ignite further controversy for the disgraced royal.
