PRINCE Andrew is reportedly thinking about releasing a tell-all autobiography in a bid to “set the record straight”.
Andrew is said to be in talks with a US author who has previously worked with high-profile celebrities and politicians.
It’s been reported that there are two publishers interested in the autobiography.
This comes after The National revealed in January that 72% of Scots want Andrew stripped of his Inverness title.
His book was reportedly described to publishers as “Spare 2.0” in the wake of his nephew Prince Harry’s explosive memoir.

Spare was released in January and included several insights into the royal family.
The book sold almost 1.5 million copies in North America and the UK in just 24 hours.
Andrew is keen to “fully explain his association with Jeffrey Epstein and the resulting falling-out”, a source told the Daily Mail.
They said: “Andrew was the original spare and there’s plenty of material. Compared to Harry, he has a far greater depth of history to draw from.
“It would also be a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the royals and their relationships.”
Andrew stepped back from his public role in the royal family in May 2020 with his honorary military affiliations and royal charitable patronages removed almost two years later.
In Harry’s book, he revealed that his brother Prince William physically attacked him during an argument in 2019.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
