Prince Andrew Quiz

Prince Andrew was in the news in November 2019 – for all the wrong reasons! On November 20th he suspended his public duties following the negative reaction to his interview on Newsnight. The interview focused on Prince Andrew’s links to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in August the same year, while in prison awaiting trial.

Quite a serious topic to write a quiz about! But fear not – Education Quizzes would not sink to such levels. No – this quiz is about Andrew’s life, his family, his career and his charity work.
