Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor hailed 'ignorant' and 'stupid' by Susannah Constantine
She previously dated within the royal familySusannah Constantine has hit out over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, calling the disgraced royal an “ignorant, entitled, stupid individual”.
The 63-year-old fashion journalist, who once dated King Charles’ cousin, shared her scathing review during a recent podcast appearance.
Last week, Susannah joined Terry Wogan’s son, Mark, on his Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast.
During the 1980s, Susannah famously dated Princess Margaret’s son, David Armstrong-Jones, for six years.
Given this royal connection, Mark seized the opportunity to quiz his guest on recent events.
Last month, of course, King Charles announced that he would be stripping his brother Andrew of his remaining royal titles, following years of scrutiny over his association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Susannah Constantine roasts Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
“Your ex… he was the late Queen’s favourite nephew, right? And recently we’ve experienced a lot of the Queen’s favourite son,” Mark tentatively broached the subject. “You hung out in those circles. We’re talking about Prince Andrew. There are many who say it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. Is he misunderstood, or is he the [bleep] that he comes across as?”
For me that sense of entitlement is the worst trait in a human being.
“I have met Andrew,” Susannah confirmed, immediately raging: “And in my humble opinion he is an ignorant, entitled, stupid individual who thinks the world owes him a favour.”
“He was above the law, above rapprochement,” she continued to fume. “For me that sense of entitlement is the worst trait in a human being.”
“So, yeah,” Susannah concluded. “I’m not a fan.”
‘They did such a good job bringing up their daughters’
However, as the conversation turned to Andrew’s daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Susannah appeared more conflicted.
“They are lovely,” she told Mark. “For the girls to be like that, there must be elements of their parents that are fantastic, because they did such a good job bringing up their daughters.”
Last month, Buckingham Palace released a statement reading: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.”
It continued: “His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”
The announcement followed years of scrutiny over Andrew’s association with the late convicted sex offender Epstein. The 65-year-old former prince was also accused of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre, allegations he has always vehemently denied.
Despite Andrew losing his prince title, the couple’s daughters, Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35, have retained their royal titles.
