Historian Andrew Lownie has written a new book designed to be the final nail in the coffin of Prince Andrew.

Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York is the result of four years of research and interviews by Lownie and it aims to examine the lives of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

He says the book also addresses the whole royal institution, including the way Andrew's various scandals were handled.

"The fact is, the Queen protected him, complaints were made about him and nothing was ever done - and indeed, people who did complain were penalised."
