KEY POINTS

  • Prince Andrew on house arrest in a remote tower in Windsor
  • Prince Andrew is being punished by the royal family
  • Prince Andrew rumors continue to circulate

Prince Andrew is allegedly being held secretly in a remote tower in Windsor amid his ongoing sex scandal probe, but there is no real evidence supporting this new rumor.

Globe recently claimed that the Duke of York was put under house arrest before saying that he’s actually being held in a remote tower. An unnamed royal courier told the tabloid that the royal family came up with the shocking decision after Sarah Ferguson’s ex-husband refused to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein.

“He’s put the future of the monarchy in jeopardy and Her Majesty will do anything to save it – even sacrificing her favorite son,” the unnamed source said.

The insider went on to say that Prince Charles was so disgusted by his younger’s brother’s misconduct that he encouraged the Queen to have Prince Andrew arrested. The heir to the throne is allegedly convinced that this is the only way for the scandal to die down.

“The Queen immediately ordered Andrew held under house arrest. She also decreed Andrew, a former naval helicopter pilot, be stripped off all military ranks and titles. She commanded him to tell the FBI investigators everything he knows about pervert Epstein and his sex trafficking empire,” the source said.

However, the claims of the tabloid should be taken with a grain of salt. It is unlikely for the Queen to send her son, Prince Andrew, in a remote tower in Windsor.

If she did, this would mean that the public could never see the Duke of York again. But on Christmas Day, it was revealed that he attended a private church service, which means that he wasn’t locked up in a remote tower.

The tabloid’s claim about Prince Andrew being arrested and being placed on house arrest also seems confusing since the two terms don’t have the same meaning. Saying that Prince Andrew was arrested means that he was jailed.

On the contrary, saying that he is on house arrest means that he isn’t allowed to go out and make public appearances. But this isn’t the case either.

And to say that Prince Andrew refused to cut ties with Epstein is also incorrect since the convicted sex offender already passed away months ago. And during his interview with BBC, the Duke of York said that he already cut ties with Epstein and regrets their friendship.
