Prince Andrew is the second son of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. He became the Duke of York upon his marriage to Sarah Ferguson in 1986 and the couple have two children together, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Andrew and Sarah separated in 1992, finalising their divorce four years later but they remain good friends. The Duke stepped back from royal duties in November 2019, following a BBC Newsnight interview, which focused on his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
