Disgraced Prince Andrew allegedly once had 40 prostitutes brought to his five-star hotel during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, his biographer has claimed. Andrew, who was officially stripped of his titles on Thursday and evicted from his royal residence in a humiliating fall from grace, engaged with the women over a four-day stretch, royal historian and author Andrew Lownie alleged. “There was a famous trip to Thailand — for the birthday celebrations of the King.

The royal family threw disgraced Prince Andrew “under the bus” when they stripped him of his titles this week — potentially opening him up to a police probe, his biographer claimed Friday. The bombshell move to formally shun Andrew by removing his titles and evicting him from his residence shows the royals have essentially wiped their hands clean of any controversy tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to royal historian and author Andrew Lownie. “I’ve been saying for some time they’re going to throw Andrew under the bus to save themselves and this is the first indication of that,”…

Facts can be so misleading. Near the midway point of the NFL regular season, the Bills (5-2) — the five-time defending AFC East champions — are looking up in the standings at the Patriots (6-2), who won a head-to-head matchup in Buffalo. The Chiefs (5-3) — winners of nine straight AFC West titles — are behind the Broncos (6-2) and Chargers (5-3), having lost to the latter in Week 1.
