“One of Andrew’s ex-lovers said he had a sex addiction because he was always second to Prince Charles … He compared his relationship with his brother … to William and Harry,” Halperin claimed, according to the outlet. “William is looked at as royal material, just like Charles, whereas he and Harry were the bad boys … This led to his playboy lifestyle. He wasn’t getting attention; it made him feel special to get these beautiful women in his bed.” (RELATED: Netflix’s Jeffrey Epstein Documentary Details Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Prince Andrew)
Halperin claimed he talked to at least a dozen of Prince Andrew’s former lovers, the outlet reported. Most women said the sexual encounters were consensual.
“Most women painted Andrew as a perfect gent and said it was consensual,” Halperin said, according to Page Six. “One woman said he was a very daring lover: there were no limits to where he would go in bed … She told me, ‘Andrew rocked my world in the bedroom,’ but she felt disappointed because after that … she didn’t hear from him again.”
