Amid the sex scandal hanging over Prince Andrew’s life, shocking new rumours have surfaced that the shunned royal tried to take his own life.
U.S. magazine GLOBE repots that the Duke of York was found unconscious in his own home from an overdose of sleeping pills.
WATCH: Princess Anne refuses to answer question about Prince Andrew
“The prince was lying face-down on the carpet and, luckily, the prescription bottle was just inches away, so the medical team knew what they were dealing with,” dishes an insider.
“His pulse was barely notice- able at first, but when they got the poison out of his stomach, his functions began returning to normal.”
The publication claims that after being stripped of royal duties and disgraced by his mother and his family, Prince Andrew’s future looks bleak.
While he refuses to cooperate with investigators, it doesn’t stop the claims that he had sex with underage girls and self-proclaimed sex slaves of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Prince Andrew flatly denies the allegations made by Virginia Roberts, who says she had sex with him when she was 17 years of age, yet Virginia stands firm with her claims.
“In truth, Andrew has nothing left to live for and is facing the real possibility of being the first royal ever sent to prison,” a palace source tells GLOBE. “His future is grim, indeed.”
Meanwhile, Andrew was reportedly shunned by his royal siblings as he celebrated his 60th birthday on the 19th February.
A low-key private dinner held for Andrew with approximately 50 guests, but none of the senior royals were anywhere to be seen, reports the Daily Mail.
Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Edward were no shows at the glitzy party, which was held at Royal Lodge, the Windsor residence Andrew shares with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
“Neither of Andrew’s brothers were there, nor was Anne, but it was a wonderful party,” one guest told the publication, adding there was still a “really good range of people”.
Those who did celebrate with the Prince included former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, actor Sir John Standing and racing heir Guy Sangster, said the report.
