Prince Andrew plans tell-all book to fix reputation but friends warn he may look ‘stupid’
Prince Andrew runs the risk of looking “stupid” according to his friends who say the Duke’s potential tell-all book would do more harm than good.
In an attempt to repair his tattered reputation, the Duke of York appears ready to put his life story out there in a piece dubbed “Spare 2.0“, insiders have claimed.
Those same insiders are constantly telling the Duke that writing a book about his life inside the Royal Family is a “stupid idea”, although two publishers may be interested.

The disgraced Duke is hoping that a proposed autobiography not only generates funds after allegedly being left with nothing in inheritance following the Queen’s death, but also as a way to change the public perception of him.

Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal roles and duties last year over accusations of sexual assault which he has repeatedly denied.
With the Duke now facing the possibility of losing both his home and his financial stability, it would appear he has turned to writing an autobiography.
One insider, speaking to The Sun, said: “Everyone close to him is telling him it’s a stupid idea and he should just forget it.”
His autobiography plans come as the Duke is reportedly desperate for funds after the Queen left him no inheritance.

On top of his alleged money troubles, it would appear the Duke could be set to lose out on his home, with the £30million Royal Lodge in dire need of repairs.
An unnamed source added: “Andrew was the original spare and there’s plenty of material. Compared to Harry, he has a far greater depth of history to draw from.
“Writing a book would give him the opportunity to fully explain his association with Jeffrey Epstein and the resulting fall-out.
“But it would also be a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the royals and their relationships. But mainly he wants to set the record straight. If he doesn’t change the narrative, no one else will.”
