Jane Dawn Elizabeth Andrews (born 1 April 1967)[1][2] is an English former royal dresser for Sarah, Duchess of York, who was imprisoned in 2001 for murdering her lover, and released from prison in 2019.
[4] But because of the family's debt, they moved to a small townhouse in the nearby seaport town of Grimsby, where she attended Hereford Secondary School.
[3][5] Throughout her teenage years, Andrews struggled with various psychological problems including depression, panic attacks, and an eating disorder.
[3] Andrews enrolled in a fashion course at the Grimsby College of Art,[6] and afterward took a job designing children's clothes at Marks & Spencer.
[3] During this time, it is alleged that the Duchess was having an affair with Tuscan aristocrat Count Gaddo della Gherardesca; he supposedly also had feelings for Andrews.
[6] Some believe that this issue led directly to Andrews's termination, but officials at Buckingham Palace state there is no truth in this and that her dismissal was a result of cost-cutting.
[4] For the next two years in the couple's relationship, Andrews made it obvious that she had pinned all her hopes on Cressman as her future husband and father of her children.
[4] She contacted her ex-husband Christopher Dunn-Butler shortly after killing Cressman, then sent out text messages to friends inquiring about her lover's whereabouts and well-being.
[7] In 2001, the psychiatrist Trevor Turner[8][9] diagnosed Andrews with borderline personality disorder[3] and subsequently said in an ITV documentary that she had been subject to coercive control by the deceased.
A police investigation found no evidence of the alleged harassment,[10] and Andrews was re-released from prison on 8 August 2019, initially on the condition that she reside in a designated probation hostel.
