Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), is the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, and the younger brother of her royal successor, King Charles III. A former vice-admiral, Andrew served for 22 years in the Royal Navy as a helicopter pilot, most notably during the Falklands War. Throughout his career, he performed various royal duties, including a decade-long tenure as the UK’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment. The former Duke of York was stripped of his royal title in 2025 over his ‍ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, though he has denied any wrongdoing.
