At a very young age, Prince Andrew began to like playing polo (Keju), and he didn't get tired of playing for several days, but at that time he didn't like the girl who played polo with him.
He knew that her name was Sarah, that she often skipped class to play with her, and that she was the daughter of the famous Major Ferguson, but Andrew only regarded the other party as a little sister, without half a heart for him.
In this way, until Sarah transferred schools, Andrew only remembered that the girl had played polo with her, and there was no other impression.
In February 1981, Andrew became acquainted with the American movie star Gustak. At that time, Andrew had joined the Royal Naval Aviation Formation and had performed well in the "Falkland Islands" war with Argentina, winning the widespread favor of the British people.
Gustak was born into an artistic family in New York, with a grandfather who was a musician, a writer to her father, a television presenter to her mother, and a popular actress.
Andrew was extremely satisfied with Gustak, claiming that "it was the only serious love", while the prince's mother, Elizabeth II, praised Gustat as "very elegant, intelligent and discreet". While on holiday on Mastik Island, the couple almost got married.
However, Gustak played a number of roles in a film, much to Elizabeth II's infuriation. The Queen could not accept her future daughter-in-law undressing on the screen, believing that it would undermine the dignity of the British royal family.
In this way, under the suffocating pressure of the queen, this 18-month relationship finally completely cut off the hope of cultivating a positive result, and the two parted ways.
Three years later, Gustak married a photography gallery owner, and Prince Andrew met sarah, the little girl who played polo with him as a child.

Fate is also a wonderful thing to say, and it can't be stopped when it comes.
In 1985, at the invitation of his sister-in-law, Princess Diana, Andrew went to the Royal Jockey Club, where he met Diana's friend, the little girl who played polo with him when he was a child, Sarah.
When golfers meet in the past, it is inevitable to reminisce about the past. At that time, Andrew had just come out of the last relationship, and Sarah still remembered the ignorant love of her childhood. The two hit it off at the jockey club and started dating the next day.
Nine months later, on February 19, 1986, it was Prince Andrew's 26th birthday. The birthday man didn't see any gifts and only wanted Sarah to agree to his marriage proposal, and in the end he got his wish.
The engagement ring was chosen by Andrew, who chose it over and over again to match Sarah's red hair before finalizing a ruby ring.
At Westminster Abbey, in front of more than 100,000 guests, Andrew gave Sarah, who was wearing a wedding dress, a kiss.
Not long after his marriage, with his outstanding grades, Andrew began to be promoted to helicopter combat officer in the British Naval Aviation Squadron, responsible for teaching helicopter combat courses.
It seems like a double harvest of love and career, but it is not, and this promotion is the beginning of the breakdown of Andrew and Sarah's marriage.
Because After the promotion, Andrew needs to stay in the army often, and the time to see his wife in a year is less than 40 days.
In a later interview with Harper's Bazaar, Sarah said she was miserable because her husband was not around, she had to take care of her two children alone, and she had to deal with malicious interviews with media reporters from time to time, which made her miserable.
Sometimes distance does not necessarily produce beauty, but also produces small three. It is estimated that it was at that time that Sha pulled the idea of cheating.

With her husband, Andrew, Sarah was able to spend more time and opportunities with men in the outside world, such as her financial adviser Brian.
Brian is a handsome man Sarah met when she traveled to Texas, and since meeting Brian, she has come to realize that Andrew is her marriage and Brian is her love.
In August 1992, sarah and Brian were on vacation in Saint-Tropez, France, when they were photographed by a reporter with hot eyes.
At that time, the princess was lying coolly in a chair basking in the sun, while Brian was excitedly holding Sarah's feet to his mouth and kissing each other's toes.
Well, I felt a pang of nausea in my heart as I wrote this passage, and I don't know how Brian did it.
In that era when it was not too open, the shock brought by this photo was unimaginable to us, and it was not good that Teacher Chen's nude photos of that year had to bow to the wind.
Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, were furious and ordered Sarah to get out of the royal residence, Balmoral Manor, and never come back.
Princess Margaret, Elizabeth II's sister, was also angry, refusing to speak directly to Sarah, writing a note to her, accusing her of "bringing more shame to the family than one could have imagined."
Even Andrew's brother, the mercurial Prince Charles, was equally disgusted with Sarah, believing that she had lost the face of the British royal family, and has snubbed her ever since, and the relationship has not eased until now.
In May 1996, with the consent of both parties, Sarah and Prince Andrew officially divorced.

Despite the divorce, Andrew still has Sarah in mind and allows his ex-wife to live in Windsor Castle and raise their children together.
Even Sarah's £2 million debt due to a failed business, an andrew paid for it out of his own pocket, and it's hard to say there's no love in it.
The two had also thought about remarrying, and even put the plan on the agenda for a while, but then an incident that happened to Prince Andrew disrupted their plans for remarriage.
In 2005, Epstein was criminally charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl, and after an 11-month undercover police investigation, Epstein was arrested in 2008. This is the "Epstein" incident that shocked the world, involving many celebrities, and Prince Andrew is one of them.
Several women complained that when they were underage, they were coerced by Epstein to meet WithDrew in London, England, New York in the United States and private islands in the Caribbean, but this was strongly denied by Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom.
However, a woman named Roberts stepped forward, and she had previously posed with Andrew when the prince put a bracelet around her waist, and the person who took the photo was Epstein, who controlled her.
Another woman, Virginia, sued Andrew in a district court in Manhattan, saying the prince had sexually abused her three times and beaten her several times. She was not yet 18 years old when she suffered these inhuman tortures.
Virginia called on more victims to stand up bravely, "those who have the power to take responsibility for their actions too" and "I want Prince Andrew to pay for what he has done to me."
Suddenly, Andrew went from a battle hero everyone admired to a hated villain.

Since 2014, the US Department of Justice has been looking for "trouble" for Prince Andrew, and they have to thoroughly find out how many disgraceful things Andrew has done in the Epstein case, and frequently confront the prince's legal team.
The media and the public also joined forces to press Buckingham Palace to explain Andrew's relationship with Epstein. Buckingham Palace said "any allegations of prince Andrew's misconduct against minors are not true", but later repeatedly denied it.
Not only that, but even Andrew's former bodyguards began to come forward and report that there were indeed young women who had entered the prince's room, and it was unknown where these women came from.
In November 2019, the BBC arranged an interview for Andrew. On the show, Prince Andrew first recounted his friendship with Epstein and said he did not regret making Epstein a friend.
Although Andrew thought his answer was decent, he was greeted with a lot of scolding after the show aired, and the interview was also called "nuclear disaster level public relations".
Andrew's official advisers resigned, the University of Huddersfield persuaded Andrew to resign as chancellor, KPMG announced that it would no longer cooperate with the prince, and Standard Chartered Bank urgently revoked its support for him...
Anti-abuse women protesters, who hate Prince Andrew even more, gathered at the gates of Buckingham Palace, holding up a picture of the prince painted with a red cross and shouting "Pedophilia, Pedophilia". Videos of the protests were also posted online, attracting countless people to watch.
His mother, Elizabeth II, was also humiliated and suspended him from all his duties, eventually stripping him of his military affiliation and princehood, leaving Andrew to fight the case as an ordinary citizen.

When everyone avoids Andrew for fear of gossiping, there is only one person willing to stand firmly by his side, and that person is his ex-wife Sarah.
One member of Prince Andrew's defence team said, "No one at Buckingham Palace has asked about Andrew's case, including the prince's parents, and only Sarah fully supports Andrew, comparable to being a member of his team".
In order to help Andrew win this very hopeless lawsuit, Sarah traveled to the United States to meet with various legal teams, and painstakingly selected two lawyers from a top los Angeles firm to help Andrew argue.
In addition, Sarah also used the occasion of her new book launch to defend Andrew. When she promoted her novel "Heart of the Compass" on Italian television, she publicly praised Andrew as "such a kind and great man, full of loyalty at heart".
When asked what was the happiest time of her life, Sarah, who was already a year old, shyly said: "The day I got married in 1986, because on that day, I married the best man in the world."
Even in the face of the media of The News of the World, which does not fit in with Prince Andrew, Sarah is still humble: "Although I am now divorced from the prince, we are still as close as glue, and even if death comes, it will not be able to separate us." 」
Even knowing that Andrew's accused charges would be spurned by everyone, even if It would be difficult for Andrew to win the case, Sarah was still willing to stand on Andrew's side, on the opposite side of the world, and it was difficult to believe that there was no element of love mixed in.
Some people may wonder, if Sarah likes Andrew so much, why did she cheat in the first place? Or, Andrew's thoughts and character are so corrupt, why does Sarah still not abandon him.
In fact, loving someone will not think so many rules. Everyone is trying to reason with love, but true love is inherently unreasonable.
