Prince Andrew first earned the nickname “Randy Andy” back in the late 1970s and 1980s when British tabloids latched onto his reputation as the monarchy’s playboy prince. His love life became constant tabloid fodder — actresses, models, and socialites were all part of his orbit, and the press leaned into it with sensational headlines. Andrew seemed to enjoy the attention at the time, often photographed at nightclubs or on yachts surrounded by women. The nickname stuck because it fit the image — the young, charming, fun-loving royal who couldn’t stay out of the gossip pages. But over time, that harmless-seeming label evolved into something darker as reports of crude behavior, entitlement, and questionable company — particularly with Jeffrey Epstein — started to surface.

By the 2000s, the tone around “Randy Andy” shifted entirely, with former palace staffers, massage therapists, and associates describing him in terms far removed from the old cheeky playboy image. Several women claimed he made inappropriate comments or advances, while others described him as arrogant and overly familiar in private settings — earning him a far less flattering reputation as a “sex pest.” Tabloids that once praised his charm began publishing exposés about his conduct, and the nickname that once symbolized royal glamour came to represent disgrace. Between the legal settlement with Virginia Giuffre, the Epstein scandal, and countless lurid media reports, the transformation from “Randy Andy” to “sex pest” was complete — a cautionary portrait of privilege unchecked and reputation destroyed.
