Is Andrew A Narcissist? Ex-Prince Faces 'Time for Repentance' But Allegedly Refuses to Apologise to Epstein Victims

Everybody around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor seems to grasp the gravity of what the Epstein files have revealed. His brother, the King. His nephew William. The police. Even the Sandringham staff, who have reportedly been permitted to refuse to serve him, except Andrew.

Royal biographer Andrew Lownie does not mince words. The former prince is a 'complete narcissist' who has shown no remorse, he told Marie Claire. Lownie, whose book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, charts the family's unravelling, said the 65-year-old suffers from a total absence of self-awareness and still considers himself an innocent man.

Richard Fitzwilliams put it another way. Andrew's conduct and his 'lack of any repentance' have left King Charles and Prince William furious, he wrote in the Daily Express. That fury has only sharpened since the US Department of Justice released more than three million pages of Epstein-related documents on 30 January.

Police Consult Crown Prosecutors Over Epstein Files

Things are no longer just reputational. Thames Valley Police confirmed on 11 February that officers had opened discussions with specialist CPS lawyers over allegations that Andrew shared confidential trade envoy reports with Epstein. The force was 'leading the ongoing assessment of allegations relating to misconduct in public office,' ITV News reported.

The emails are damning. Documents from the files appear to show Andrew forwarding visit reports from a 2010 Southeast Asia tour to Epstein minutes after receiving them. On Christmas Eve that year, he apparently looped Epstein into a confidential brief about investment opportunities in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.

Buckingham Palace said Charles expressed 'profound concern' and stood 'ready to support' police if approached, according to CNN. Andrew has said nothing.

A Royal Family Running Out of Ways to Distance Itself

The monarchy has tried everything short of disowning him. Charles stripped Andrew of every title, honour, and HRH status in October 2025 after Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir reignited public anger. In early February, he was forced out of Royal Lodge and shipped to Sandringham in Norfolk.

Samara Gill, speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive, put it bluntly. Andrew is 'like black mould' for the monarchy, she said. 'He just won't go away, and they can't get him out.' The released emails, she added, 'completely show that he doesn't have a conscience.'

William and Catherine put out a statement ahead of his Saudi Arabia trip, calling themselves 'deeply concerned by the continuing revelations.' HELLO! Royal Editor Emily Nash argued the apology should come from Andrew, not his family. 'Surely the person who needs to apologise and take responsibility is Andrew himself,' she told the publication.

No Remorse, No Reckoning

Nobody close to Andrew expects that to happen. Lownie was blunt. Andrew views himself as the victim in all of this, he said. He will not accept wrongdoing because he does not believe it exists.

Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Epstein's abuse, alleged the financier trafficked her to Andrew on three occasions when she was 17. He denied every accusation but settled her civil lawsuit in 2022 for a reported $16 million (£13 million). Giuffre died by suicide in 2025.

What Andrew is apparently worried about is not his accusers. Sources say he has become fixated on how he will be remembered, fretting over whether he will get the grand televised funeral at St George's Chapel he once imagined. Those plans, one insider said, have been shredded.

Anti-monarchy group Republic has instructed lawyers to explore a private prosecution for alleged sexual assault, corruption, and misconduct in public office. Director of Public Prosecutions Steven Parkinson warned last week that 'nobody is above the law.'

Additionally, a YouGov poll showed Andrew with just 6 per cent public support.

Andrew has consistently denied all wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. He has not responded to the latest allegations or calls to testify before US lawmakers.
