Royal Protection Officer Reveals Shocking Nickname for Prince Andrew
A member of the royal protection team has disclosed the outrageous and expletive nickname that staff used for Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, years ago. In a resurfaced clip from the television program 60 Minutes, the security officer explained that while Andrew's official call sign was 'Purple 41', royal employees referred to him by a vulgar term considered too inappropriate for broadcast.
'The C**t': A Nickname Born from Arrogance
The officer stated, 'He did have a nickname, but it's a bit rude to tell you. You wouldn't be able to air it.' After hesitation, he revealed, 'Andrew was known as the c**t. Plain and simple, because unfortunately, he upset everyone he came across.' He elaborated that Prince Andrew was viewed as the most unpopular member of the royal family during his tenure, describing him as rude, arrogant, and possessing a breathtaking sense of self-entitlement.
Recent Arrest and Ongoing Scrutiny
This revelation comes as Prince Andrew faces intense scrutiny following his arrest last week by Thames Valley Police. He was taken into custody for questioning and spent eleven hours in police custody on his 66th birthday before being released under investigation. The arrest relates to claims that he shared sensitive information with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during his time as the UK's trade envoy.
Detectives have continued searching Andrew's former home, Royal Lodge in Windsor, Berkshire, over the weekend. Meanwhile, Andrew has reportedly been staying in a cottage on the King's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
Defiant Behavior and Family Reactions
According to reports from The Sun, Andrew exhibited defiant behavior when asked to leave Royal Lodge, allegedly shouting, 'But I'm the Queen's second son, you can't do this to me.' A royal insider described this as arrogant and deluded, noting the extraordinary use of the Queen's name in his defense.
Sources indicate that Andrew seemed more concerned about his horses than the Epstein scandal, with a Norfolk source close to the family telling the Daily Mail, 'He hardly seemed bothered about the Epstein scandal. He was much more worried about where he was supposed to keep his horses.'
Impact on the Monarchy and Family
Andrew's arrest has plunged the monarchy into its most significant crisis in decades, following his earlier stripping of titles and exile from public life. The whereabouts of his immediate family, including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and his former wife Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson, remain unknown.
Friends of Sarah Ferguson report that she is 'very, very down' and feels deeply depressed, believing the world is against her. However, they added that she does not appear to feel remorse for what has happened, instead wishing for the situation to disappear so she can resume her life.
This scandal continues to unfold, with further investigations and public reactions expected to shape the royal family's future in the coming weeks.
