Prince Andrew reportedly wants to follow in the footsteps of his nephew, Prince Harry. And by that we mean, he wants to write a tell-all book.
According to The Sun, Andrew thinks a memoir would help restore his image.

Allegedly, two leading publishers are interested in the book – which has been described as “Spare 2.0.”
“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,” a source told The Sun.
“Writing a book would give him the opportunity to fully explain his association with Jeffrey Epstein and the resulting fall-out. But it would also be a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the royals and their relationships,” they continued.
“But mainly he wants to set the record straight. If he doesn’t change the narrative, no one else will.”
Despite Andrew being extremely keen on releasing a book – it’s rumoured that he’s currently eyeing biographer Daphne Barak to write it – Andrew’s friends are not on board with the idea.
“Everyone close to him is telling him it’s a stupid idea and he should just forget it,” an insider said.

Aside from being able to tell his own story, it’s likely that Prince Andrew wants to release a book because it would undoubtedly be a best-seller and bring the royal a huge cash flow; something he desperately needs after losing his public funding and his taxpayer-funded guards.
Plus, Andrew didn’t get any inheritance after his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, died, so, again, it’s probable that one of his motives for releasing a tell-all book would be money.
