He has been accused of sleeping with under-age girls and consorting with a known paedophile. His reputation, what was left of it, is in tatters. He is in danger of becoming a national laughing stock, complete with his mad, hanger-on ex-wife and two daughters with no visible means of support. His standing has never been so low, the levels of opprobrium aimed at him so high. What next for Prince Andrew, the ageing royal playboy with no one left to play with?
If nothing else, Prince Andrew (right) serves as a flesh-and-blood warning to his nephew Prince Harry (left) Well, if nothing else, surely he serves as a flesh-and-blood warning to his nephew, Prince Harry?
A ruined totem of the fate that might await; the shambling evidence of a pointless royal life badly lived; of a misspent mid-life crisis dabbling in fleshpots with the wrong people at the wrong time?
Prince Andrew should have known better, but it appears that he never did.
Yet there are some people, mostly men, who see Andrew as a tragic figure. In some ways he is. The 54-year-old prince is perhaps the ultimate victim of second-son syndrome. Since birth, he has been doomed — like Harry after him — to be the spare and never the heir.
He is the runner-up in the lottery of royal life, the perennial booby prize; a prince who may be part of the monarchy but is generally overlooked and definitely unimportant.
While his big brother inherits the throne and all that goes with it, Andrew is relegated to a ceremonial life on the sidelines. So close, and yet so far!
It must be agony. And this fate is Harry's fate, too. For unlike Charles and William, Andrew and Harry are not the top-tier prized first-born. They will never be the gilded centrepiece displayed on the Windsor mantelpiece.
Instead, they are on the second shelf of the royal pantry, stored in a dusty Tupperware box marked Just In Case. And that can hurt.
Yet while this might be difficult for them, it is hardly a tragedy. Contracting ebola, being born with a debilitating disease, finding oneself on a plummeting plane, falling foul of bloodthirsty terrorists on a Parisian street — these are all tragedies.
Being born into a world of extraordinary privilege, at the heart of one of the richest families on the planet, is very far from anyone's idea of tragic.
Prince Andrew met Virginia Roberts (right) in early 2001. At the time she was 17, underage in Florida, and allegedly being paid by the Prince's friend, billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, for sexual services

It is what you do with your good fortune that marks you out as a prince worthy of admiration and respect among your loyal subjects. And it is here that Andrew has been such a total failure.
He seems to have done nothing of note for anyone except himself. It is no secret that Andrew has an over-developed sense of entitlement and has never found a meaningful role for himself since leaving the Navy in 2001.
His greatest achievement has been getting his golf handicap down to four. He could turn professional, people said. Well, it would have been nice if he could have been professional at something.
He wasn't even any good at being a trade envoy, the kind of ritualistic non-job given to lesser royals to make them feel important.
A Wikileaks dump four years ago produced evidence that Andrew was even a disaster at this; boorish, rude and an all-round pest.
Yet it was only after he was photographed with his disgraced pal Jeffrey Epstein that he was finally stopped from blundering around the globe in our name. This week, His Royal Badass cut short his skiing holiday and put on that special, grim victim's face when he arrived back in the UK.

If he had sex with a 17 yo in USA and she was coerced to do it by Epstein (and paid as a prostitute) then he has committed rape in the USA.
USA must then issue an extradition order, extradite him and put him on trial.
He should be arrested here as a fugitive.
ATM we do not know if he had sex with any of the younger girls.
Akabula is defending A. Windsor like J. Savile was defended.

The diary extract claims: “The prince’s attention towards me amplified… making eye contact at every given chance and concentrating at my plunging V-neck top.
"We later made an appearance at Club Tramp in the VIP section where Andrew did not hesitate to grab us both an alcoholic cocktail. We took a few sips, then headed for the dance floor.
“He was the most incredibly hideous dancer I had ever seen and not to mention how embarrassing it was to have to be the one he was smashing pelvics with, even if he was a prince.
“We stayed a little over an hour before his highness was dripping from sweat and ready to embark to a quieter setting, where we could get to know each other better.
"And from the way he was fondling me on the dance floor, I knew that was a man’s polite way of saying he wanted to intimately get acquainted.”
Virginia, now a mum-of-three, claims the pair then headed back to Maxwell’s flat.
In the journal, written in 2009 and obtained by RadarOnline, she alleges: “I led him into the upstairs bathroom.
"I was doing my best trying to put on a good show for him by slowly undressing and started to pour a bath.
“The room quickly filled with steam as I turned to Andrew and began to kiss his neck and undress him.
“He was caressing every part of my naked body and filling my head with endless compliments about my figure.”
Virginia claims the pair then got in the bath together where they “continued with back and forth foreplay, touching, kissing, and him even licking my toes”.
And she alleges Andrew whispered to her: “I love your feet. They are so irresistible.”
Daily MirrorVirginia Roberts pictured in her School yearbook from 1998 when she was 14Affection: Virginia Roberts, pictured aged 14, said the Prince complimented her body She then claims: “That was definitely a 1st for me, but I went with it all, fearful of letting down the prince and in turn Jeffrey and Ghislaine.
“The entire affair was short-lived, afterwards he was not the same attentive guy I had known for the last few hours. [He] quickly got dressed, said his goodbyes and slipped out of my bedroom.”
The Swine !

This woman is a Gold-Digger of the worst kind. I'm rather glad than Andrew didn't dance well. Fellas only do it to pull. She should think herself lucky to receive a delivery of the Royal Seed! She should have retrieved it and frozen it to sell later to a couple of rich Yanks. THAT was her ticket to mega-bucks! Would have been worth a fortune.
