Prince Andrew's ex-girlfriend Lady Victoria Hervey has emerged as his biggest public supporter as he continues to make headlines for his longstanding friendship with the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew announced in October 2025 that he was voluntarily relinquishing all of his royal titles in light of continued scrutiny over his connection to Epstein. The prince has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's global sex trafficking ring prior to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender's arrest on federal charges in the U.S. in 2019.
