Prince Andrew survived two murder attempts

Historian Andrew Lownie explains the alleged attempts on Andrew in his book, Titled: The Rise and Fall of the House of Yorkwho investigates the lives and scandals of the younger brother of the king.

Lownie claims to use Commandos in the aftermath of the Falklands War of 1982, considering commandos to kill Andrew while he was on holiday with actress Koo Stark, now 69, on the Caribbean island of Mustique.

A second plot, he writes, concerns IRA plans to focus the duke on a golf course.

Lownie said: “The Argentinian Junta actively investigated a murder mission against Andrew after the Falklands. He had been a very visible helicopter pilot in the war, making him a symbolic target. Later, when he went to Mustique, the information sources were spoken with special tracts.”

The historian added: “There were suddenly the IRA. One of the most credible attempts to kill him on the golf course. Andrew’s lax approach to his own safety made him vulnerable. These were only two of many threats that appeared during his life.”
