Andrew Windsor is reportedly terrified he could become the next name in the long, dark shadow of Jeffrey Epstein’s world.
The disgraced former royal, 66, is said to be begging for stronger security after a masked intruder allegedly confronted him near his new home while he was walking Queen Elizabeth’s beloved corgis.
Now, sources claim the scare has set off a chilling new fear behind palace walls: that Andrew could be targeted because of what he may know about Epstein’s powerful inner circle.
“Given the suspicious deaths linked to Epstein, it’s possible that Andrew is a target,” private investigator Ed Opperman said, according to RadarOnline.com.
Opperman added that Andrew may be viewed as someone who could “flip” if he ever faced serious prison time, claiming the former royal “wouldn’t last 30 minutes in prison.”
The fear comes after years of questions surrounding Epstein, the convicted sex offender who was found dead in a New York jail cell in 2019 in what authorities ruled an apparent suicide.
Still, Epstein’s death has fueled endless speculation, especially among those who believe he knew damaging secrets about some of the world’s most powerful people.
At least 23 people with ties to Epstein have reportedly died over the years, including financier Steven Hoffenberg, former Palm Beach detective Joe Recarey, and Epstein’s ex-butler Alfredo Rodriguez.
Rodriguez once took Epstein’s infamous little black book and allegedly tried to sell it to an undercover FBI agent.
Now, insiders claim Andrew’s past connection to Epstein may have put him in a frightening position.
Andrew has long denied knowing about Epstein’s criminal activities. But his association with the late pedophile destroyed his public life, led to his royal disgrace, and left him more isolated than ever.
The former prince was stripped of his titles, pushed out of Royal Lodge, and left to live under far less protection than he once enjoyed as a senior royal.
Then came the alleged intruder scare.
On May 6, Andrew was reportedly walking his late mother’s corgis near his new home at Sandringham when a masked man allegedly approached him.
The suspect, identified as 39-year-old Alex Jenkinson, was arrested by Andrew’s private security team and charged with two counts of harassment.
Jenkinson later denied using threatening or abusive words or threatening violence. He has pleaded not guilty.
Still, the encounter reportedly rattled Andrew badly.
According to insiders, he is now demanding the return of the 24/7 taxpayer-funded Metropolitan Police protection team he once had. That security operation reportedly included 10 officers and cost around $1.3 million a year.
But King Charles is said to have little interest in restoring the publicly funded protection.
The king reportedly ordered royal officials to cut off the annual security payments for his younger brother after Andrew’s fall from grace.
That has allegedly left Andrew feeling exposed.
“Even though Andrew is no longer a working member of the royal family, the threat to his personal safety is greater than ever,” one source claimed.
The insider argued that Andrew may now be even more vulnerable because of the intense media coverage surrounding his Epstein links.
“He is actually more at risk from individuals who have become fixated due to all of the coverage he has attracted,” the source said.
Another insider made an even darker claim, suggesting that if Epstein’s alleged hidden network could get to him inside a New York jail, then Andrew’s current living arrangements would not be enough to stop a determined attacker.
“If this bloodthirsty spy network could penetrate the NYC prison system, a 12-foot-high wall in central London or a fence at his Sandringham estate is no trouble at all for trained assassins,” the source claimed.
The same insider ominously predicted that if Andrew were targeted, “his death will look like a suicide.”
There is no official evidence that Andrew is being hunted by assassins, and no charges have been filed against him in connection with Epstein.
Still, the former royal’s name remains tied to one of the most notorious scandals in modern history.
Epstein’s former girlfriend and convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in Texas for helping Epstein sexually abuse young women.
Opperman claimed Andrew may know even more than Maxwell.
“Andrew probably has more dirt on other people than Ghislaine Maxwell,” he said.
For Andrew, the masked intruder scare may have been more than just an alarming security incident.
According to those close to the situation, it may have convinced him that his royal blood no longer guarantees his safety — and that his Epstein past may still come with deadly consequences.
