Queen Elizabeth Accused of Shielding Prince Andrew From the Epstein Fallout (6/15/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. The royal family in England has been through
0:08
some serious scandals throughout their time, and they've always found
0:12
a way to navigate through those scandals. But the one
0:16
scandal that continues to drag them down is the one
0:19
created by Prince Andrew and the one protected by none
0:25
other than the Queen. And I know people don't like
0:27
to hear that, and that a lot of people have
0:29
a lot of great feelings for the Queen. And I'm
0:32
not going to sit here and tell people they shouldn't
0:33
feel like that, but I will tell you what I've
0:36
told you from the very beginning. The Queen covered up
0:42
Prince Andrew's crimes, and not only that, it made her
0:46
an epstein enabler, and I took a whole bunch of
0:50
heat for that. Back in the day before all this
0:53
stuff was revealed, forget it. I've never been called to
0:56
see you next Tuesday more times of my life. But
1:00
fast forward to today and guess what your boy was
1:05
shooting you straight? And there was obviously a cover up
1:07
going on at the palace, And of course this cover
1:11
up is international and there's many chambers to it. But
1:16
believe me, the UK they played their role and the
1:18
sad truth is they were all dancing too the Queen's tune.
1:22
Today we have an article from the International Business Times
1:26
and the headline Queen Elizabeth blindly covered up Prince Andrews
1:29
Epstein ties. Royal insiderr claims this article was authored by
1:35
asher A Niga. Queen Elizabeth the IID is facing claims
1:39
that she always shielded ex Prince Andrew and quietly helped
1:42
burry questions over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, with one
1:46
alleged royal insider insisting the late monarch turned a blind
1:49
eye to warnings about her favorite son. That is a fact,
1:55
and I'm glad people are catching up to it. But
1:59
I had people telling me all the way back when
2:01
this was happening, that it was going on, and that
2:05
there were people that knew a lot more then. We
2:09
were aware of people that were part of the protection detail,
2:13
people that were in the palace and certainly the Queen's
2:15
inner circle and law enforcement, and they all worked hand
2:19
in hand to make sure that it never came out.
2:21
And instead, what they did is they destroyed Virginia. And
2:25
I cannot tell you how much I wish that Virginia
2:27
was still here with us to see this day. She
2:32
has been adamant for all the years that I know
2:34
here about what happened, told the same story consistently over
2:39
and over about Prince Andrew. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew's done nothing
2:43
but lie time and time again, and the emails prove it.
2:47
It's not even like we're speculating anymore. He lied. So
2:51
if you want to believe that he didn't do what
2:53
Virginia said, that's cool, but you have no evidence to
2:57
base out on. Whereas if you flip the script, well
3:02
there's a mountain of evidence that rivals Mount Everest. The
3:07
news came out after US outlet Globe reported that Queen
3:10
Elizabeth used her influence in London more than twenty five
3:13
years ago to push for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to be
3:16
appointed as the UK's globe trotting trade Envoy, a role
3:20
that sources now allege opened the door to questionable dealings
3:24
with Epstein. Well, it was Maxwell that opened that door,
3:27
but him being a trade endvoy was that much better
3:29
for Epstein. And I've said it once and I'll say
3:32
it again, Prince Andrew should have just came out and
3:35
said that he was blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein. But for
3:39
whatever reason, hint hint, Virginia, his loyalty kept him from
3:43
doing that. And when you're part of the crime, you're
3:48
not gonna write yourself out. So Jeffrey Epstein ingratiated himself
3:52
to Prince Andrew by providing him with an underage traffic girl,
3:57
and then for all intents and purposes, owned them after that.
4:00
And instead of Prince Andrew just coming out and saying that, look,
4:03
I'm stupid, I fell into his trap, his web, and
4:06
now I'm caught up, he denied it, tried to make
4:09
it like Virginia was lying because he thought nobody would
4:12
believe a girl from the other side of the tracks. Well,
4:16
guess what, that girl from the other side of the
4:18
tracks had more courage in or a pinky than the
4:21
whole royal family combined. And not only was it Andrew's
4:24
hubris that brought him down, it was the tenacity of Virginia.
4:29
The paper links that appointment, fresh allegations of misconduct in
4:32
public office, and even long standing conspiracy theories around Princess
4:36
Diana's death into one sprawling challenge to the Queen's carefully
4:40
curated legacy. Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein has dog the
4:45
royal family for years, ending with the Duke of York
4:49
losing his HRH style, being stripped of military patronages, and
4:53
stepping back from public duties. Well, according to Globe, newly
4:57
released documents from two thousand showed the Queen expressed her
5:00
wish that Andrew be made Trade Envoy, a preference said
5:04
to have been relayed to in a wide ranging discussion
5:07
between her private secretary David Wright, then head of British
5:10
Trade International, and what the Queen wanted the Queen God,
5:15
let's make no mistake about that. Well, you think the
5:18
Queen comes trotten into the room with her Corgi's and
5:21
they're telling her no. Sources quoted by the Tabloid insists
5:26
that role was more than ceremonial. They allege the ex
5:29
prince government back position may have enabled a quiet kickback scheme,
5:33
with Andrew supposedly earning commission from deals Epstein brokered with
5:37
wealthy clients. None of these claims have been tested in court,
5:41
and Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Well, yeah, that's
5:45
because everything has been swept under the rug for years
5:48
and years and years. And that's why I stay consistent
5:51
when I tell you all I'm asking for is a
5:54
robust investigation, A real investigation, one that actually, you know,
5:58
talks to people who are targeted. Yeah, a real investigation.
6:02
Laid financier and convicted fraudster Stephen Hoffenberg, described as a
6:06
former business associate of Epstein, told Globe in twenty twenty
6:09
one that Andrew was rewarded handsomely for his involvement. YO,
6:14
when I talked to Steve, he said the same thing.
6:18
Steve had some very enlightening things to say about Jeffrey
6:21
Epstein and his organization. Now, the caveat to that is
6:25
Steve Hoffenberg was considered a liar by some people, So,
6:30
like everything else, take it with a grain of salt.
6:34
Hoffenberg died later that year after publicly turning on Epstein,
6:37
and his comments are now being recycled as a key
6:39
plank in the case some critics are trying to build
6:42
against the Queen's judgment. Look, you don't need to really
6:45
build the case. It's all there. The queen could have
6:48
stepped up right away when Virginia made the allegations and
6:52
nipped it in the bud. She could have launched a
6:54
real investigation, She could have the palace involved. She chose
6:58
not to, and that's because she do that it was true.
7:02
One alleged Roil insider goes further, still, telling the magazine
7:06
the Queen was always protecting Andrew at all costs, and
7:09
it was known that he was her favorite child. She
7:11
knew about everything Epstein, the girls, the trafficking. She just
7:15
turned a blind eye to it. That allegation is unverified
7:19
and rest entirely on unnamed sources. Well, the evidence tells
7:23
us that that's the truth. What do we need a
7:26
smoking gun? A recording of the queen saying that sometimes
7:30
actions speak louder than words, and her actions here are reprehensible.
7:35
I mean, folks, she let these people destroy Virginia for
7:38
years and never called Andrew into the palace, you know,
7:41
throne room and dressed him down. Just let this dude
7:46
run around and act like Jeffrey huh Okay. Some elements
7:50
are on firmer ground. Globe reports that Andrew now sixty six,
7:54
was arrested on February nineteenth on suspicion of misconduct in
7:58
public office overclaims that he shared trade secrets with Epstein
8:02
while serving as trade envoy. He was released without charge,
8:05
but remains under investigation, and officers have publicly urged witnesses
8:10
and potential victims to come forward. We hope that anyone
8:14
with relevant information will come forward whenever they are ready
8:17
to engage with us. Our door is always open, Assistant
8:21
Chief Constable Oliver Wright said, and document cited by CNN,
8:25
the Queen's alleged role is framed by a part maternal loyalty,
8:29
part constitutional muscle. Insiders quoted by Globe say, Elizabeth the
8:33
scond always protected Andrew at all costs, with his status
8:37
as her favorite child, driving decisions others inside the palace
8:41
considered reckless. And that has been the story from the
8:45
get go. We have heard that sam exact story from many,
8:49
many people that are well situated within the royal family.
8:52
And if you're wondering why he's such an asshole as
8:55
an adult, it's because he had no supervision as a child.
9:01
Charles now seventy seven, is said to have opposed Andrew's
9:04
appointment as trade envoy, viewing his brother as unreliable. According
9:09
to the magazine the then Prince of Wales was overruled
9:12
after former UK Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelsson backed the move. Well,
9:17
isn't that shocking? Jeffrey Epstein's two buddies backing each other up.
9:25
Mandalsonn seventy two was himself arrested in February on suspicion
9:29
of misconduct in public office and released without charge. Emails
9:33
he allegedly sent Epstein while in cabinet are said to
9:36
contain confidential government material, which he denies. Mishandling from there
9:42
Globe plunges into darker territory. Its sources claim both Andrew
9:46
epstein saga and lingering suspicion over Princess Diana's ninety seven
9:50
death are threatening to ruin the late Queen's reputation. The
9:54
outlet revives long standing conspiracy theories that Elizabeth helped cover
9:58
up the suppose of Diana to shield the monarchy and
10:02
protect Charles. None of this has been substantiated by official inquiries,
10:07
and it's not going to be. I don't know much
10:09
about Diana, so I won't even say anything about it. Really,
10:14
it's okay not to have an opinion when it's not
10:16
an educated one. The magazine then spices in material from
10:21
a US Department of Justice document dump on Epstein released
10:25
in January. By its account, the paper suggests Epstein had
10:28
a fixation on Diana An allegedly trafficked a woman to
10:32
billionaire Mohammed al Fayed, father of Dodi al Fayed, who
10:36
died alongside or in Paris. Again, these are claims being
10:40
pushed by a tabloid and unnamed tipsters, not verified findings.
10:44
Investigators are also said to be probing whether Alisa Dmitrieev,
10:49
a seventeen year old Latvian girl whose body was found
10:52
on the Sandringham estate in twenty twelve after months missing,
10:56
might have been one of Epstein's trafficking victims. Some are
10:59
convinced the palace tried to cover up that incident as well.
11:02
A source tells the outlet, Well, that's juicy. I don't
11:06
have much to add on that, but I'm going to start
11:08
looking at it. Layered on top of all of this
11:12
is a fresh piece of palace intrigue, the claim that
11:14
Andrew is now threatening to write a tell all book
11:17
about the royals. According to Globe, another unnamed source says
11:21
the ex prince is considering lifting the lid on bone
11:24
chilling secrets his mother took to the grave, including what
11:28
he allegedly believes is the truth about Diana's death and
11:31
the circumstances of his father, Prince Philip's final years. Can
11:35
you imagine the panic in the palace if this dude
11:37
wrote a book. What emerges from Globe's patchwork of documents,
11:42
anonymous briefings, and revived conspiracy theories is a picture of
11:46
a monarch who, in this telling, allowed personal affection for
11:50
a son to override political instinct and may now see
11:55
her reputation dragged back into the mud as authorities picked
11:58
through the wreckage of EPs world, or perhaps more accurately,
12:02
of a royal family still finding that the pass is
12:05
not finished with them, no matter how carefully the curtains
12:08
are drawn. Well, that's what happens when you have somebody
12:11
like Andrew dragging everything back up into the light. I mean,
12:16
the queen had things moving in a pretty decent direction, right,
12:20
The questions about Diana had died down a bit, and
12:23
you know, things were moving in a direction where people were,
12:26
you know, warming up to the monarchy again, not so
12:30
much anymore. And if anybody out there thinks Charles is
12:34
going to be the guy to bridge the gap and
12:36
get people believing in the monarchy. Again, I got some
12:38
bad news for you. Nobody likes Charles either and not
12:42
exactly the most charismatic guy. So this story about the
12:47
Queen is not anything new, but that doesn't make it
12:50
inaccurate because, in my opinion, the Queen not only protected
12:55
Andrew but also enable Jeffrey Epstein. All of the information
