Ex-Prince Andrew Sent ‘Into a Rage’ After Surrendering Gun License: ‘He’s a Ticking Time Bomb’ (Exclusive)

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is in a “really dark place,” a source tells Examiner.

“He’s angry one minute and then completely despondent the next,” reveals the source. “Nobody wants to be around him. He’s totally consumed with self-pity and says everything he values has been taken from him, even his hobbies.”

The former prince, 65, was not only stripped of his titles and honors over his connection to Jeffrey Epstein but he had to hand over his gun license too.

According to an article published by the BBC on Tuesday, December 23, Andrew — who denies any wrongdoing — “voluntarily surrendered” his certificate after receiving a visit from the Metropolitan Police at the Royal Lodge at Windsor.

He can still have access to his firearms, the outlet noted, but can only use or transport them if he is with someone who has a gun license.

“Losing hunting has sent Andrew into a rage,” adds the source. “He’s saying his mother [the late Queen Elizabeth II] would never have allowed it to happen, that she’ll be rolling in her grave over this humiliation being forced on him.”

The ex-Duke of York’s pleas have fallen on deaf ears, though.

“His family have all seemingly shunned him,” says the source. “There’s literally no one left that’s got his back. Even his daughters won’t be seen with him.”

Andrew was seen on Tuesday, December 16, horseback riding in the rain at Windsor Park while Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were photographed en route to London’s Buckingham Palace for a Christmas lunch hosted by King Charles III.

Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, even ditched their father on Christmas morning, attending church services in Sandringham with members of the British monarchy.

“It’s no wonder there’s a feeling among the royals that he’s a ticking time bomb,” says Examiner’s source. “Not that they’re doing anything to help. They’re all keeping their distance and quietly praying that Andrew doesn’t make things worse.”
