Prince Andrew's biographer suggests the Duke of York might be forced into self-imposed exile abroad due to recent scandal. This potential move mirrors the fate of his grandfather, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, who lived his final years in France after being exiled from Greece.
Prince Andrew might be looking to live out his days in a self-imposed exile abroad, much like his grandfather, according to his biographer. Royal author Nigel Cawthorne has said it seems 'inevitable' that the Duke of York will have to leave Britain due to the backlash from his latest scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy.

Andrew, who was exiled, spent his final years living in modest apartments, hotel suites and aboard a yacht with his lover, Countess Andrée de La Bigne. He passed away from a heart attack at the age of 62 at the Hotel Metropole in Monte Carlo in December 1944.

Mr Cawthorne commented: 'While Prince Andrew won't be kicked out of his own country like his grandfather, I believe he has reached the conclusion that it is inevitable he must leave our shores.' 'He might need help to do this financially but he still has a small circle of wealthy friends as well as possibly being able to call on family for assistanc
