Prince Andrew Prepares For A Brand New Epstein Storm To Come Rolling In · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. Prince Andrew just can't catch a break, or
• 0:08
  maybe more accurately, he can't escape the truth. After years
• 0:12
  of denial, excuses and settlements, he's now staring down another
• 0:15
  title wave of embarrassment. And that's because Virginia Roberts is
• 0:19
  about to have a memoir released in the wake of
• 0:22
  her passing away. And we're not talking about some legal
• 0:24
  filing or a carefully worded interview. This is supposedly her story,
• 0:30
  in her words, laid out with no lawyers to soften it,
• 0:33
  no settlements to bury it, no palace pr machine to
• 0:36
  spin it away. For Andrew, that's a nightmare. Every time
• 0:41
  he's tried to claim I don't recall or wheel out
• 0:44
  the Pizza Express alibi, it's been shaky at best, But
• 0:47
  now he's got no defense. A book like this doesn't
• 0:52
  just rehash what we already know. It brings it all back,
• 0:55
  vivid and personal in Virginia's voice, and that's the one
• 0:59
  thing that Ad hasn't been able to silence. And there's
• 1:03
  no doubt that this memoir is going to reopen wounds.
• 1:05
  The monarchy desperately wanted closed. The palace thought they paid
• 1:09
  for peace. They thought this chapter was done. But Virginia's
• 1:14
  words are about to remind the world exactly who Andrew is,
• 1:17
  what he's been accused of, and why his scandals will
• 1:20
  never just fade away. Today's article is from Fox News
• 1:25
  and the headline Prince Andrew faces all time low as
• 1:28
  Virginia roberts Hans Royal from the grave. This article was
• 1:32
  authored by Stephanie Nlasko. Prince Andrew is said to be
• 1:37
  grappling with private turmoil behind closed doors following the news
• 1:40
  that his late accuser will be speaking out from beyond
• 1:43
  the grave. Yeah, I'd say that's causing a few sleepless nights.
• 1:47
  The last thing this dude wants is any more information
• 1:50
  coming out about what he was up to, and any
• 1:53
  thoughts of him coming back are out the window now,
• 1:56
  especially considering this memoir is coming out. And look, I
• 1:59
  don't think it's gonna tell us anything we didn't know,
• 2:01
  but I think it's going to focus the spotlight on
• 2:03
  Prince Andrew once again, and that's something that him and
• 2:06
  the royal family just don't want to deal with. The
• 2:09
  claim was made by several royal experts who spoke to
• 2:12
  Fox News Digital following the news at Virginia Roberts memoir
• 2:15
  will be published in October. The forty one year old
• 2:19
  who accused the disgraced Duke of York and lay convicted
• 2:22
  sex offender Jeffrey Epstein of sexual assault, wrote the book
• 2:25
  before she took her life. In April, the BBC reported,
• 2:29
  my sources tell me that there are serious concerns about
• 2:31
  Prince Andrew's emotional well being. Royal expert Kinsey Showfield of
• 2:36
  YouTube's Kinsey Showfield Unfiltered claimed to Fox News Digital and
• 2:41
  I can see that, but guess what. This is a
• 2:44
  problem of his own creation. We're talking about a man
• 2:47
  who could have been hanging out with whoever he wanted
• 2:49
  in the whole entire world. He chose to hang out
• 2:51
  with Jeffrey Epstein. Nobody forced him to do it. Nobody
• 2:54
  showed up with a gun and said you're going for
• 2:56
  a sleepover to Jeffrey Epstein's house. Man did that shit
• 3:00
  on his own. British broadcaster and photographer Helena Shard also
• 3:06
  told Fox News Digital that, according to her sources, Andrew
• 3:10
  has been in isolation at his Royal Lodge home waiting
• 3:13
  for the moment that he'll be out of the damning spotlight. Well,
• 3:17
  unfortunately for him, that's not coming anytime soon. He had
• 3:20
  his chance, right, all he had to do was speak
• 3:23
  to the FBI like he said he would, but he
• 3:26
  didn't do that. He ducked, dodged, and dipped and refused
• 3:30
  to speak to anybody of authority. He could have put
• 3:33
  an exclamation point on it. Then. That's what he tried
• 3:36
  to do with that BBC interview and it went terrible
• 3:38
  for him. And he figured after that interview probably a
• 3:42
  good idea just to shut up. And that's what he
• 3:45
  should have done from the very beginning because that interview
• 3:49
  that was the fine old nail in the coffin, right,
• 3:52
  that was the death blow to Prince Andrew and his
• 3:54
  already tattered reputation. Andrew is at an all time low,
• 3:59
  said charge. He feels he's lost everything that defined him
• 4:02
  and he has no purpose, a rudderless ship that will
• 4:06
  never be able to escape the Epstein and Roberts Association.
• 4:10
  Unfortunately for him. That's just tough. This man had every
• 4:14
  opportunity to do whatever he wanted on this planet, with
• 4:17
  whoever he wanted, and he chose to hang out with
• 4:20
  people like Jeffrey Epstein. He chose to hang out with
• 4:23
  gun runners. He chose to hang out with Chinese spies,
• 4:26
  and for what some more money to look cool? You're
• 4:30
  already the Prince of England? What more could you possibly need?
• 4:34
  Shouldn't people be coming to you and debasing themselves for you?
• 4:39
  What are you doing? Bowing down at the altar of
• 4:41
  Jeffrey Epstein Publishing house, Alfred A. Knopf said Roberts made
• 4:47
  it clearer weeks before her death that it was her
• 4:49
  heartfelt wish that the book, titled Nobody's Girl would still
• 4:53
  be released in the event of her passing. The BBC reported.
• 4:58
  The publisher said that the four hundred page memoir, written
• 5:01
  with co author Amy Wallace, promises to share intimate, disturbing,
• 5:05
  and heartbreaking new details about her time with Epstein, Glanne
• 5:09
  Maxwell and there are many known friends, including Prince Andrew Well.
• 5:13
  According to Glenn Maxwell, none of that ever happened. I mean,
• 5:17
  according to the Ted talk she had with mister Blanche Klan,
• 5:21
  Maxwell's innocent. She never saw a thing. Jeffrey Epstein kind
• 5:25
  of a weird guy sometimes, But besides that, it's all
• 5:28
  just a big, gigantic hoax. A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace
• 5:32
  previously told Fox News Digital they don't answer for Prince
• 5:35
  Andrew sixty five as he's no longer a working royal. Well,
• 5:40
  isn't that convenient? Yeah, sorry, we have no idea. He's
• 5:43
  not a working royal anymore. Even when he was a
• 5:45
  working royal, they didn't answer any questions. Buckingham Palace doesn't
• 5:49
  answer to commoners, you answer to them. Prince Andrew has
• 5:53
  become even more isolated with a permanently tarnished legacy, British
• 5:57
  royal expert Hillary Fordwitch told News Digital currently up at Balmoral,
• 6:02
  the senior royals want nothing to do with them. They're
• 6:05
  keeping their distance from them. Prince William in particular, is
• 6:09
  horrified by the reputational damage Prince Andrew is brought upon
• 6:13
  the royal family. Shark claimed, well, yeah, dude's going to
• 6:16
  be king someday, and I already told you. If this
• 6:19
  dude becomes king anytime soon, Prince Andrew's ass might be
• 6:23
  sent into banishment, sent to exile somewhere in the old days,
• 6:27
  able to send them to whatever the deepest furthest flung
• 6:31
  province was Now they'll just probably bury them in one
• 6:35
  of these estates and call it a day, because there's
• 6:39
  zero chance that Prince Andrew is ever going to be
• 6:41
  a working royal with William as the King. Zero chance.
• 6:47
  He is not a fan of his awkward, bombastic uncle,
• 6:50
  finding him inappropriate and intolerable. He is especially keeping his distance.
• 6:55
  I imagine he would love to boot him out as
• 6:57
  far away from the British Royal Family as possible. However,
• 7:01
  he has a pragmatic approach to how he will deal
• 7:03
  with Prince andrew fallout and time will tell, And of
• 7:07
  course there's a lot that goes into it, right the optics,
• 7:11
  making sure that the Royal family doesn't know tarnish their
• 7:14
  brand any more than possible. So there's a lot of
• 7:17
  considerations for William. But I think if all things were
• 7:21
  even and all things considered, I think that William would
• 7:25
  be launching Prince Andrew directly from the Royal family. And
• 7:28
  I think Prince Andrew knows that as well. The Times
• 7:32
  UK reported that Nobody's Girl is likely to repeat allegations
• 7:36
  Roberts previously made about the Prince. Those accusations were filed
• 7:40
  in twenty fifteen as part of her defamation case against Maxwell,
• 7:45
  who was convicted in twenty twenty one for helping lure
• 7:48
  teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein and also
• 7:51
  abusing them herself. Let's keep that in mind. The British socialite,
• 7:56
  you mean, pedophile and human trafficker, right, is serving a
• 8:00
  twenty year prison sentence. I mean, if you want to
• 8:02
  call it that, right now, looks to me that she's
• 8:05
  serving a twenty year yoga retreat sentence prison. I think
• 8:10
  that's a bit of a stretch. That earlier memoir, title
• 8:13
  The Billionaires Playboy Club, was unsealed in twenty nineteen. In it,
• 8:18
  Roberts wrote that she was paid by Epstein to have
• 8:20
  sex with a circle of friends, including Andrew. The Times
• 8:23
  reported Roberts claimed in one of her lawsuits that she
• 8:26
  had sex with the Royal three times in London during
• 8:29
  her two thousand and one trip at Epstein's New York
• 8:32
  mansion when she was seventeen, and in the Virgin Islands
• 8:35
  when she was eighteen. Andrew denied the allegations. According to
• 8:40
  the outlet, Roberts alleged that in two thousand and one,
• 8:43
  she was summoned by Maxwell to Epstein's home in Manhattan
• 8:46
  to meet Andrew. As Maxwell twirled her around to give
• 8:49
  the Royal a good look over, Andrew had a cheesy
• 8:52
  grin and looked me up and down like a shiny
• 8:54
  new car on display, and he was about to take
• 8:57
  it for a test drive. And in the transcripts that
• 9:00
  we're going through right now, Glenn Maxwell is telling a
• 9:02
  completely different story. So who's telling the truth? That's really
• 9:07
  what it comes down to. And it comes down to
• 9:09
  who you believe. And if you want to believe the
• 9:11
  human trafficker who has perjured herself previously, cool, that's on you.
• 9:16
  Me personally, I don't believe a word that comes out
• 9:18
  of Glenn Maxwell's mouth. Roberts wrote that Epstein and Maxwell
• 9:22
  presented Andrew with a caricature puppet of himself from the
• 9:26
  eighties show Spitting Image. She claimed that he used the
• 9:29
  puppet to touch her inappropriately, and Johanna Schoberg also corroborated
• 9:36
  that account in her own deposition and after that in interviews.
• 9:41
  She also detailed an alleged night out at Tramp nightclub
• 9:43
  where Andrew embraced her on the dance floor, dripping in sweat.
• 9:47
  When they returned to Maxwell's home. She alleged that the
• 9:50
  Prince displayed a weird fixation on my feet, which he
• 9:53
  described as the longest ten minutes of my life. And
• 9:57
  then Prince Andrew obviously said it couldn't be me. I
• 10:00
  have a condition that doesn't allow me to sweat. And
• 10:03
  now we hear in the transcripts from Glen Maxwell that
• 10:06
  she has some sort of condition that doesn't allow her
• 10:08
  to engage in sexual activity. Well, that's weird considering everything
• 10:13
  we've heard about her, and Prince Andrew's dumbass has pictures
• 10:18
  of himself literally drenched in sweat. But sure, you can't sweat,
• 10:22
  you have a medical condition. Charge said that Andrew didn't
• 10:25
  expect that things would get any worse for him. Prince
• 10:28
  Andrew's life in the public eye is crashed to a
• 10:30
  humiliating end. She said. Virginia's memoir will no doubt be
• 10:34
  an uncomfortable read, and the fact that Virginia is no
• 10:37
  longer with us is immensely sad. Prince Andrew will be
• 10:40
  featured in the book, However. The book aims to create awareness,
• 10:44
  highlighting the systematic failure that allow trafficking of vulnerable individuals
• 10:49
  across borders, and we all know that's a big problem.
• 10:52
  Whether you believe this Jeffrey Epstein story or not, there's
• 10:55
  a lot of people being trafficked. And remember it's not
• 10:58
  all for sex. A lot of people are being trafficked
• 11:01
  and brought in to do menial jobs, you know, manual labor, sewing,
• 11:06
  you name it. So this whole entire trafficking issue, when
• 11:10
  we're talking about the sexual component, that's only one part
• 11:14
  of it. Disgrace. Prince Andrew has endured a complete character assassination,
• 11:19
  said Chard. Much of it's due to his own self destructive,
• 11:23
  bullish behavior. He's the creator of his own demise, and
• 11:26
  I've said that from the very beginning. When you have
• 11:29
  the kind of life that Prince Andrew was handed and
• 11:32
  you just throw it away because you want more, well
• 11:34
  that sounds like a you problem. Chofuel pointed out that
• 11:38
  Andrew does have a few supporters who will stand by
• 11:41
  him even when the book hit shelves. He still has
• 11:44
  a close circle of friends and business associates who believe
• 11:47
  in them. She explained. Those people won't be persuaded by
• 11:51
  this new book. Prince Andrew supporters will argue that Virginia
• 11:54
  is not a credible storyteller. They will point to Roberts
• 11:57
  initially accusing lawyer Alan dirty Schowitz of sexual abuse as
• 12:01
  part of her claims against Jeffrey Epstein. She later dropped
• 12:05
  the allegations in twenty twenty two, stating that she might
• 12:08
  have made a mistake in identifying them. They will use
• 12:11
  this as an example of Robert's being an unreliable narrator. Look,
• 12:15
  there's no doubt that that's some ammunition that you can use.
• 12:19
  There was that contentious battle with Alan Dershowitz, back and
• 12:22
  forth for years, and then they decided that they were
• 12:25
  going to end their lawsuit. It was a mutual ending.
• 12:29
  But of course that's something that Prince Andrew can use. Look,
• 12:33
  she was wrong about him, could she have been wrong
• 12:35
  about me? But I think for Prince Andrew it's a
• 12:38
  little different, and that's because there's other people that witnessed
• 12:41
  what went down. At the very least, there's other people
• 12:44
  that witness them together. We have the picture, etc. With
• 12:48
  Alan Dershowitz. It was Virginia's word against Alan Dershowitz's word, right,
• 12:52
  And Look, whatever you might think about Alan Dershowitz, the
• 12:55
  man's a good lawyer. He knows what he's doing, and
• 12:57
  he's certainly somebody that knows how to navigate the legal system,
• 13:01
  and of all the people that have been accused, who
• 13:04
  actually challenged the accusations in court, So at least he
• 13:08
  has that going for him. Prince Andrew, on the other hand,
• 13:11
  not so much. He sure was quick to pay out
• 13:14
  that settlement, wasn't he. Prince Andrew's supporters will also question
• 13:19
  Robert's mental state at the time of executing this project.
• 13:22
  Schofield added, Virginia was forced to admit err in the
• 13:25
  case of Alan Dershowitz. Epstein's lawyer, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams,
• 13:30
  told Fox News Digital however, her words are still likely
• 13:34
  to carry weight. They will mean more embarrassment for the
• 13:37
  royal family and more trouble for the Yorkes. In a statement,
• 13:41
  the publisher said Nobody's Girl was both vigorously fact checked
• 13:45
  and legally vetted. The Times reported the outlet noted that
• 13:49
  the billionaire's playboy club was not Robert's memoir is most
• 13:54
  likely to add renewed pressure to the royal family to
• 13:57
  accelerate institutional distancing from Prince Andrew, said ford Wich, he's
• 14:02
  been a constant embarrassment. Now more lurid details, accusations and
• 14:07
  recollections are going to deepen the ghastly damage to his
• 14:10
  dreadful reputation. And look, there's no doubt about it. And
• 14:15
  even without the Virginia allegations against Prince Andrew, you have
• 14:20
  to question his judgment, right, Like, what do you do
• 14:22
  in hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein having a sleepover after
• 14:25
  the guy's already a convicted sexual predator and just those
• 14:29
  other associations alone are damning for his reputation. Then you
• 14:33
  add this on top of it, forget it. Epstein was
• 14:37
  found dead in his New York jail cell weeks after
• 14:39
  his twenty nineteen arrest. The American financier pedophile was awaiting
• 14:44
  trial on US federal sex trafficking charges involving dozens of
• 14:48
  teenage girls and young women, some as young as fourteen.
• 14:52
  Investigators ruled his death a suicide. Andrew stepped down as
• 14:56
  a royal in twenty nineteen following a disastrous interview with
• 14:59
  News where he attempted to address concerns about his links
• 15:03
  to Epstein. And that interview was literally one of the
• 15:05
  worst interviews I've ever seen. Everything he was trying to accomplish,
• 15:10
  he did the exact opposite. The televised sit down backfired
• 15:15
  when the British Prince failed to explain his continued association
• 15:18
  with Epstein or show sympathy for his victims. Earlier this year,
• 15:22
  emails published in court documents showed that Andrew was in
• 15:26
  contact with Epstein longer than he previously admitted, BBC reported.
• 15:31
  According to the interviews shared by the Department of Justice
• 15:33
  on Friday, Maxwell claimed that a photo widely circulated showing
• 15:37
  Andrew with his arm around Roberts was fake. Problem for
• 15:41
  her is that every single expert that's looked at the
• 15:44
  picture disputes what she's saying. So again, do you believe
• 15:48
  Glenn Maxwell? I do not. What I can absolutely categorically
• 15:53
  say is that I never, at any time said Andrew
• 15:56
  up to have relations with any other human being ever,
• 15:59
  she led. Andrew previously rejected Virginia's allegations and said that
• 16:05
  he did not recall having met her. In twenty twenty two,
• 16:08
  he settled with Roberts for an undisclosed sum, agreeing to
• 16:11
  make a substantial donation to a survivor's organization. British newspapers
• 16:16
  reported that the amount for the settlement range from six
• 16:20
  million to sixteen million. In a statement filed in court,
• 16:25
  said that the Prince acknowledged Epstein was a sex trafficker
• 16:28
  and Roberts was an established victim of abuse. Andrew may
• 16:33
  be a hermit these days, but he can't hide forever.
• 16:35
  Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital the
• 16:40
  Virginia Robert saga continues to haunt Prince Andrew even after
• 16:43
  a sad demise. He said she was a tortured soul
• 16:47
  and has left Andrew in the royal family in a
• 16:50
  similar state of mind. There are so many nails in
• 16:53
  Andrew's historic coffin. It continues to highlight the weaknesses and
• 16:57
  secrets within the royal family. So this is the last
• 17:01
  thing they need, right, more scandal, more bs, especially without
• 17:04
  the Queen there to, you know, strengthen everything. So there's
• 17:08
  no doubt that the monarchy is already on shaky ground,
• 17:11
  and then you add this Prince Andrew stuff to it,
• 17:13
  and it's all bad. And when this memoir drops, things
• 17:16
  are going to go from bad to worse real quick.
• 17:20
  And like usual, we'll be here every step of the way.
