'Just Takes Five Cars': Ex-Prince Andrew Is Vulnerable to Roadside Kidnappings, Warns Royal Author

A royal author has made a rather shocking claim which reveals that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor might be at risk of a kidnapping or an assault amid his alleged involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a scandal that led to him being stripped of his royal titles and duties and ousted from his family home.

According to RadarOnline, royal author Andrew Lownie has revealed that it would take little more than a staged roadside stunt to nab the disgraced royal, who is currently residing on a property near King Charles III’s Sandringham Estate after being evicted from his longtime Royal Lodge residence, which is worth $40 million.

Lownie made the claim while speaking about the contents of his Royal biography, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which chronicles Andrew’s fall from grace.

The book details how the former prince was distanced from the royal family after being embroiled in the Epstein files scandal.

His former wife, Sarah Ferguson, also faced scrutiny for her alleged friendship with the convicted offender, developments that have reportedly affected the former couple’s relationship with their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

The author claimed that despite the intensified anger and resentment toward the former duke of York, his brother and the Palace have a duty to protect him since he could be in grave danger if left without protection.

However, Lownie also felt that the former royal should pay for his own security since he brought this plight upon himself through his actions.

“My view is that he can afford it, and he does need security, and he should do it," the royal biographer said, adding, "He should be paying for his own security; he's brought these problems on himself."

What surprised many was when the author claimed that Andrew could be kidnapped “easily” with a staged plan of action.

“I do think it just needs five cars when he is out to stop him, in the way they did with Princess Anne, cut him off and do a raid, a bit like a bank raid,” Lownie stated.

“He could be kidnapped, or attacked. There is a duty of care for him; either he pays for it, or Charles pays for it, but I don't think the public is going to swallow him getting more taxpayers' money, given this is a problem of his own making," he added.

Royal security insiders revealed that the royal biographer’s concerns stem from Andrew’s exposure to potential attack or intimidation ever since he was ousted from the inner circle of the royal family.

“Andrew is no longer surrounded by the level of royal infrastructure he once had. If someone wanted to create chaos or exploit his notoriety, there are vulnerabilities there," an insider shared.

A source well-acquainted with former royal security arrangements revealed that the perils around Andrew have further intensified because of his birthright connection to the royal family, the immense resentment toward him due to the Epstein fiasco, and his recent relocation to the much more modest Wood Farm residence at Sandringham.

The insider added, “Whether people sympathize with him or not is irrelevant from a security perspective. He remains a globally recognized royal figure with enemies, obsessives, and people who may see him as a target."
