Prince Andrew has been tipped to write a memoir in order to rehabilitate his image. However, a new Express.co.uk poll has shown that demand for the Duke of York’s life story is limited, with just one in 10 showing interest in reading it.

A source described as a “long-time friend” of Andrew, told the Daily Mail that he may try to rehabilitate his reputation by writing a memoir to clear his name.

They claimed: “​​It is inconceivable that he has not thought of this. Plenty in his circle think that’s just what he should do and Fergie, who has written her own memoir, My Story, has got all the contacts in publishing.”

Sarah Ferguson, Andrew’s ex-wife has written two memoirs and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent shared his life story last summer. Last month Prince Harry published his memoir Spare.

The source continued: “He would never have considered it while his mother was alive but it would be the perfect riposte now. Of course, the royals wouldn’t like it, but Fergie did hers and wasn’t ostracised — and as for Harry, they are even now talking about family reconciliation.”

In a poll that ran from 11:30am on Tuesday, February 7, to 11am on Friday, February 10, Express.co.uk asked readers: “Would you read Prince Andrew’s memoir?”

A total of 5.191 readers responded, with the overwhelming majority, 90 per cent (4,672 people), answering “no” they were not interested in reading Andrew’s story.

In contrast, nine per cent (445 people) said “yes” they would read a memoir by Andrew, and a further one per cent (74 people) said they did not know.
