Prince Andrew book’s shocking Melania claim exposed.
A biography of Prince Andrew has been forced into a sudden rewrite after a lawsuit threat connected to Melania Trump and Hunter Biden.
The original claim revealed.
Andrew Lownie’s book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, released August 14, included a stunning allegation about the First Lady.
The book was supposed to shine a harsh light on Prince Andrew’s relationship with Epstein.
Instead, it’s dominated by the Trump-Melania controversy, overshadowing Andrew’s own royal scandal.
The book claimed Jeffrey Epstein introduced Donald Trump to Melania—a detail dropped into the chapter on Epstein’s powerful social network.
Hunter Biden repeated this claim in an interview with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan on Channel 5, saying: “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump—the connections are so wide and deep.”
Biden’s remark reignited a rumor that had circulated years earlier, setting off a legal chain reaction.
Trump and Melania’s ties to Epstein highlighted.
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were photographed together multiple times in the ’90s and early 2000s, often at Mar-a-Lago and Manhattan parties.
Despite speculation, Melania’s team insists she never had any relationship or connection to Epstein.
Both Trump and Melania say they met in 1998 at a New York Fashion Week party, introduced by modeling agent Paolo Zampolli—not by Epstein or his associates.
Her book tells the same story, leaving no room for Epstein in their origin tale.
Melania’s legal response clarified.
Following Biden’s interview, Melania Trump’s attorneys moved swiftly, issuing a formal letter.
The letter demanded Biden retract his statement and apologize—or face a $1 billion lawsuit.
They labeled the allegation “false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory,” promising aggressive legal action if it continued.
Donald Trump confirmed: “I told her, ‘Let’s go ahead and do it.’”
Reports claim Biden responded with just seven words—a curt dismissal showing zero intention of backing down.
The publishing fallout confirmed.
HarperCollins UK, which published the book, confirmed changes were being made immediately.
“We can confirm that several passages…have been removed in consultation with the author,” a spokesperson said.
Future editions will omit the Epstein-Melania claim, but the first 60,000 printed copies still contain the allegation.
In America, the book was self-published by Lownie—making revisions his responsibility.
The claim traces back to journalist Michael Wolff, who made a similar suggestion in a since-deleted Daily Beast piece.
The outlet retracted the story after legal pressure, admitting its error and apologizing for “confusion or misunderstanding.”
Even James Carville deleted a podcast segment echoing the rumor after Melania’s attorneys intervened.
The author now faces questions about fact-checking and why the claim made it to print.
Melania’s spokesperson confirmed: “Attorneys are actively ensuring immediate retractions and apologies.”
Those first editions with the original claim could turn into pricey collector’s items.
Because the allegation came from the former President’s son, the scandal has political consequences beyond celebrity gossip.
His single quote has now sparked lawsuits, edits, and global headlines.
The lasting question remains.
At the heart of it all? A jaw-dropping $1 billion lawsuit threat from Melania Trump.
One rumor turned into a full-blown publishing and political storm.
Instead of burying Prince Andrew, the biography dug up a fresh controversy.
Will these early editions become collector’s gold—or just reminders of a billion-dollar mistake?
