Ulrika Jonsson has hit out at Prince Andrew after she claimed the royal looked at her like she was “cattle” after a brief meeting at Windsor Castle. The mum-of-four also suggested the Duke of York carried himself with an air of self-importance.
The 55-year-old addressed the royal in her latest column as she talked about their meeting when she was 20 years old.
Writing in The Sun, she began: “Prince Andrew is another contender, denying the merest hint of a suggestion that he might have been involved in anything dodgy.
“Incapable, it seems, of even pretending to have empathy or an ounce of understanding and responsibility.”
Ulrika went on: “I met him when I was 20 at Windsor Castle and he looked me up and down as if I was a heifer at a cattle market.

In the now infamous interview with former BBC presenter Emily Maitlis, the royal addressed his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
He also discussed the famous picture depicting the Duke with a hand wrapped around Ms Giuffre’s arm is real.
The photograph, which Ms Giuffre said was taken in 2001 at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London residence, has become the symbol of her allegations against the royal.
Andrew replied: “I don’t remember, I don’t remember that photograph ever being taken. I don’t remember going upstairs in the house because that photograph was taken upstairs and I am not entirely convinced that… I mean that is… that is what I would describe as me in that… in that picture but I can’t… we can’t be certain as to whether or not that’s my hand on her whatever it is, left… left side.”
He added: “Because I have no recollection of that photograph ever being taken.”
While conceding it is “definitely” him in the photograph, he continued: “It’s a picture of me in London because when I would go out to… when I go out in London, I wear a suit and a tie.”
Prompted to say whether he believes the picture was fake, Andrew replied: “Nobody can prove whether or not that photograph has been doctored but I don’t recollect that photograph ever being taken.”
Andrew and Mrs Giuffre’s case was dismissed in early 2022 after the Duke of York agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to the 39-year-old.
