No Title, No Honor, No Dignity: Andrew Is Stripped Of All Remaining Titles And Honors (Part 2) (5/22/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:02
Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up
0:06
where we left off with the Daily Mail article about
0:09
Prince Andrew getting stripped, and once again, the authors of
0:13
this article are Eleanor Mann and John Brady Sky. Roberts,
0:18
the brother of Virginia Roberts, who claimed to have been
0:21
trafficked to Andrew for sex as a teenager, has warned
0:25
that there could be more trouble for Andrew as his
0:27
family's fight for justice was not over yet. No, look,
0:31
this is just beginning. Now. How far it's gonna go,
0:35
that's anyone's guess. But this fool losing his titles really
0:40
opens the door for a police probe. And I'm not
0:44
the only one saying it. That's coming from people like
0:47
Andrew Lowney, who is a royal biographer. So things are
0:52
in motion. Where it goes again, that's anybody's guess. But
0:56
the trouble for Prince Andrew is only just beginning. He
1:01
told BBC Newsnight. It's not enough. We have to have
1:04
some kind of investigation that goes further into this. He's
1:07
still walking around a free man. I commend the King.
1:11
I think he's doing an amazing job as a world leader,
1:13
setting a precedent, but we need to take this one
1:16
step further. He Andrew needs to be behind bars. Well, look,
1:21
I'll say that we definitely need an investigation one hundred percent,
1:25
and let's see where the chips fall. Andrew says he's innocent.
1:30
I'm here to tell you I don't believe him, and
1:32
I think the evidence is on my side. But I'm
1:35
more than willing to give Prince Andrew, or should I
1:38
say the art is formally known as Prince Andrew, a
1:42
chance to defend himself. Everybody deserves a chance to defend themselves.
1:47
The problem is this piece of shit has avoided doing
1:50
so for years. So it's not like people don't want
1:53
to hear what he has to say. He refuses to talk, so,
1:56
like usual, Prince Andrew has created problems for himself. Nobody's
2:01
creating these problems for him, Nobody's out to get them.
2:04
As I've said time and time again, every problem Prince
2:07
Andrew has he created for himself. He could have lived
2:11
a great life doing whatever you wanted, with whoever you wanted,
2:15
whenever you wanted to do it, and if that meant
2:18
kinky ass sex with women or whatever. Plenty of people
2:21
that are down to do it, plenty of people that'll
2:24
do it consensually. And furthermore, he could have claimed that
2:27
he was being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein at any point.
2:30
He didn't do that. He went down with the ship right.
2:33
We're going to rise above this together. We're going to
2:35
do this. We're going to do that, so spare me
2:38
the bullshit. Amanda Roberts, Virginia's sister in law, also told
2:45
Newsnight that she supported the notion of a joint in
2:48
US UK investigation. I think both countries need to look
2:52
at collaborating here. The US government holds the key to
2:55
the larger scope of the Jeffrey Epstein case, she said.
2:58
The UK is setting an example for what the US
3:01
should be doing right now, and I would ask that
3:03
your leaders put that pressure on our leaders to do
3:07
the right thing. Well, let's be clear, there have been
3:11
plenty of people who lost their jobs and their livelihoods
3:13
here in America over their ties to Epstein as well.
3:17
The problem is there hasn't been any kind of prosecution.
3:22
People like Glenn Dubin, Leon Black, Les Wexner, They've all
3:28
lost their positions because of their relationship with Epstein. But
3:32
I agree that that's not far enough. And when I
3:34
call for an investigation, I mean a thorough investigation into
3:38
the financial side of things too, because even if you
3:41
weren't involved in what Epstein was doing when it comes
3:44
to physically abusing people, You mean to tell me that
3:48
these people that were around them, that had their finances
3:51
intertwined with his, had no idea that he was engaging
3:54
in a whole host of financial crimes. They knew, and
3:58
just like with the abuse, they didn't care because they
4:00
were benefiting. Mister Dimbley has suggested that the King would
4:05
be unlikely to step in if a request was made
4:07
by the US to extradite to the US in order
4:11
to face questions over his alleged behavior. If there is
4:15
an extradition, it will not have to do with the
4:17
King himself, he told BBC. One of the proper things
4:20
to do now is to have it made clear that
4:22
the ex Prince his brother is beyond the pill. So look,
4:27
they're doing the whole entire You've been voted off the
4:30
island routine. Huh, long time coming for Prince Andrew, and
4:33
he's lucky this is happening now. In the old days,
4:36
this fool would have been sent to a leper colony
4:38
or something. When contacted by the Delhi Mail, the Metropolitan
4:41
Police did not rule out a possible prosecution. Andrew's daughter's
4:46
Beatrice and Eugenie, fled Britain in the days before their
4:50
father's final humiliation that finally sees him kicked out a
4:54
royal lodge where he was said to have a cast
4:57
iron seventy five year release. The who will retain their
5:01
titles were pictured abroad, Beatrice at an investment conference in Riad,
5:05
Saudi Arabia, and Eugenie snapping selfies with friends in Paris,
5:10
all while moves began to evict their father back home. Now, look,
5:14
I try not to drag the kids into it, not really,
5:17
you know, a sins of their father kind of guy.
5:20
But there's no doubt that Eugenie and Beatrice have benefited
5:23
from their father's largesse. But I think it's a step
5:26
too far to try and blame them for what happened
5:29
with you know, Virginia or Epstein or anything like that.
5:33
So I think that all of the anger, all of
5:35
the ire should be focused directly where it is. Prince Andrew.
5:39
It's been suggested that Andrew was pressured by Prince William
5:43
into giving up the residence under threat of having his
5:45
daughter's titles taken away. Well, hey, the king is the king,
5:49
right lucky, I'm not the king. I take everything you owned,
5:54
anything with a windsor family crest on it gone, Anything
5:58
I bought you gone, Anything you got from the Crown gone.
6:02
I'd have Homie driving a fucking cab. Imagine you get
6:05
off the plane at Heathrow and Prince Andrew's in the
6:08
cab as your driver. While Andrew has all been cast
6:11
out from royal life, with no titles, peerages, or even
6:14
the right to call himself a prince, a royal expert
6:16
is questioned why he remains eighthan line to the throne.
6:20
Joe little managing editor of Majesty magazine, said this morning,
6:24
I'm sure at some point quite soon somebody will ask,
6:27
if they have not already done so, why he hasn't
6:30
been moved from the line of succession. Clearly, it would
6:33
take a catastrophe for him to become king, giving all
6:36
those people that are ahead of him, So might it
6:38
not have been tidier to withdraw his name from the
6:41
line of succession. I mean that's a legit point. He
6:44
can't be in the line of succession if he's not
6:46
considered a royal anymore, if he has no titles, no honorifics.
6:50
So maybe it's just an oversight and my guess is
6:53
they'll be addressing that too. Andrew is a Counselor of
6:57
State who can effectively stand in for the king, but
7:00
his role has previously been described as an active. Mister
7:05
Little suggested it may have been tidier to remove that
7:07
role from Andrew's portfolio too. Yesterday, the anti monarchy campaign
7:12
group Republic said it had instructed lawyers to investigate Andrew
7:16
and if appropriate, press ahead with a private prosecution. The
7:21
Deli Mail understands the allegations it's focusing on relate to
7:24
accusations he sexually assaulted Roberts, that he asked a Royal
7:28
Protection officer to look into her background and impropriety when
7:32
he served as an official UK trade envoy. Oh, there's
7:36
plenty of that. And if an investigations launched into Prince
7:39
Andrew over impropriety and stealing money or misappropriating it, I
7:46
think that's a surefire away to get him on something
7:50
because I have zero doubt that he was misappropriating money.
7:54
I have zero doubt he was taking money that he
7:57
wasn't declaring, So tax of as you name it, whatever
8:01
the equivalent is. Over in the UK, Republic said it's
8:04
mounting its own bid to take him to court because
8:06
the legal and political response to the claims has been
8:09
weak and inadequate to date. If not us, then who,
8:13
asked Graham Smith, the group's CEO, it's a devastating indictment
8:17
on the UK's criminal justice system, police and politicians not
8:21
to mention the King and heir that we must resort
8:24
to private prosecution. Last night, the group said that Andrew's
8:28
punishment was nowhere near enough, adding that he will be
8:31
an ordinary person. Ordinary people don't get away with being
8:34
accused of sexual abuse and that's really what it comes
8:37
down to for me too. He should be treated like
8:41
any one of us would be treated, No special favors,
8:45
no special hookups. Nobody's stepping in for him. Time to
8:50
answer some questions Dickhead. Andrew's royal biographer, Andrew Lowney, whose
8:54
forensic biography of the disgraced Duke of York entitled was
8:57
released last week, has promised that there will be more
9:00
revelations to come in a new book in the summer.
9:04
Lowney told The Mail on Sunday that friends of Andrew
9:07
have come forward in droves to say they are now
9:09
willing to paint the full picture about his past, and
9:12
there is a lot of that going on. I've certainly
9:15
heard some rumors about people that are now willing to
9:17
talk a lot more about what Prince Andrew was allegedly
9:21
up to, So we'll see if that comes to fruition.
9:26
Many are formerly loyal associates who had originally declined to
9:29
be involved in the book, but have been emboldened to
9:32
come forward since its publication, and so many have now
9:36
offered to contribute that the historian, who spent four years
9:39
working Unentitled and interviewed hundreds of people for his research,
9:43
had been invited by his publisher to produce an updated version.
9:47
The amazing and astonishing thing that's happened since Entitled came
9:51
out is that people have come forward in droves with
9:53
more stories to tell about Prince Andrew. He said, a
9:57
lot of respectable people who decline to be involved in
9:59
the book book are now coming forward key to unload
10:02
the secrets they've been keeping for all these years. And
10:05
when that damn breaks, boy does it break, there's going
10:08
to be people coming out of the woodwork with stories
10:11
about Prince Andrew, mark my words. The Palace said that
10:14
the censures were deemed necessary amid the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein's
10:18
scandal the pedophile financier who Andrew lied about cutting ties
10:22
with It. Comes after The Mail on Sunday exclusively revealed
10:26
scandalous correspondence where the shun Prince told Epstein were in
10:31
this together, a day after the infamous picture of the
10:34
Royal with his alleged then teenage sex victim, Virginia Roberts
10:38
was released. As Andrew's links to the disgraced financier continued
10:43
to bring shame to the Royals. Last night, he finally
10:46
agreed to surrender his winds Or lease, where he resided
10:49
with his ex wife Sarah Ferguson for over two decades,
10:53
paying a peppercorn rent. Sources revealed the former Duchess of York,
10:57
who has also been embroiled in scale relating to sex
11:01
offending Epstein, will make her own arrangements when it comes
11:04
to her future. Well, wouldn't you know it. Being an
11:07
adult is fun stuff, isn't it. And let's not act
11:11
like she's moving into budget suites. Her daughters are loaded,
11:15
they're married to rich people. I'm sure that Fergie's going
11:18
to be fine. Plenty of toasucking coming your way. Fergs,
11:21
don't worry. His Majesty's younger brother will now be banished
11:26
to a private property on the monarch Sandringham estate, Norfolk,
11:30
but no further details have been shared. It's understood Prince
11:33
William and the royal family fully support the King's decision.
11:38
Annie Farmer, one of Jeffrey Epstein's earliest accusers who testified
11:42
in the trial that resulted in the conviction of his
11:45
longtime aid Glenne Maxwell, told the BBC longtime aid, you
11:49
mean co conspirator, right fellow, all around scumbag, child, abuser
11:53
and the rest of it. That's what you mean, right.
11:57
Virginia did what most thought impossible. She showed the world
12:00
that even the most powerful predators can be held accountable
12:05
one hundred percent. One hundred percent and save the bullshit.
12:08
I don't want to hear it. If Andrew was innocent,
12:11
he would have defended himself. He didn't do any of that.
12:14
A real man would have stood up and said, you
12:16
know what, not me, You got the wrong ass guy,
12:19
and here's why. But Prince Andrew, he went hid behind
12:22
mummy skirts, went hid behind the walls of Buckingham Palace
12:26
and avoided any kind of responsibility or even answering any
12:30
questions asked by investigators or people that were working on
12:34
the case. So yeah, Prince Andrew straight up coward, Always
12:37
has been, always will be. Andrew Lowney believes the recent
12:42
fallout doesn't mark the end of controversy for the Chandroyal.
12:45
I don't think it's the end of it. I think
12:47
there are many more disclosures to come, but at least
12:50
they are taking some decisive action, so I don't think
12:53
it's all over for him, he told The Mirror when
12:56
queried if he believed the police probe and Andrew was
12:58
more likely Following Yesday's announcement, he remarked that the ex
13:02
Duke was being thrown under the bus. One hundred percent
13:06
that's happening. That's actually a legit criticism. He's definitely getting
13:10
thrown under the bus. But guess what he earned it.
13:14
He earned the position he's in. Nobody'll blame but himself.
13:18
Not the King, not the Queen, not the Pope, not
13:22
the grand mufty, nobody but himself. Yes, I've been saying
13:28
for some time the royal family is going to throw
13:30
Andrew under the bus to save themselves, and this is
13:33
the first indication of that. He added, Well, nobody's bigger
13:37
than the firm, right, nobody's bigger than the monarchy, and
13:41
certainly not this goofball Prince Andrew. The Palace is thought
13:45
to have been spooked by the detailed delegations laid out
13:48
in the memoir from Prince Andrew's sex abuser, Virginia Roberts,
13:52
who took her own life this year, age forty one.
13:55
Miss roberts explosive book Nobody's Girl, a Memoir of Surviving
13:59
abuse and Fighting for Justice, was released in this month,
14:02
with the manuscript having been completed before she died. Inside,
14:06
she detailed her years that she spent as a sex
14:09
slave to Epstein In his British Madam Glenn Maxwell Amid
14:12
claims that she had been trafficked to the ex duke
14:16
three times, whom she called entitled and viewed sex as
14:19
his birthright. Within the four hundred page autobiography, she also
14:23
alleged the ex Duke said thank you in a clip
14:26
British accent after their alleged first encounter when she was seventeen.
14:31
She also recalled Maxwell praised her following the encounter, saying
14:34
you did well. The Prince had fun, Andrew denied ever
14:37
meeting Miss Roberts. In twenty twenty two, he settled the
14:41
US civil case she lodged for a reported twelve million pounds,
14:46
reportedly receiving money from his mother, Queen Elizabeth the IID
14:49
to help meet the costs. The settlement came with no
14:52
admission of liability. Yeah, I think the settlement itself was liability, right,
14:58
I mean, come on to beat this dead horse. But
15:01
nobody's settling for that kind of dough if they're not guilty.
15:04
I'm sorry, I don't believe it. I just don't believe
15:07
it because at the end of the day, the embarrassment
15:10
was still gonna come. All this information was still out there.
15:14
The only thing you can do when you have this
15:16
kind of allegation, you know, made against you, is stand
15:19
up to it. If you're innocent, you stand up. You
15:22
don't go meekly into the night so your daughters look
15:26
at you as a rapist, So your family looks at
15:28
you as some kind of degenerate, so the world looks
15:30
at you as a scumbag. That's what you want to do,
15:34
and then you have the audacity to cry you didn't
15:36
have a chance to defend yourself. You had a chance.
15:39
You chose to buy your way out instead because you
15:42
didn't want your dirty laundry aired. That's what it comes
15:45
down to. So anybody who thinks that Prince Andrew just
15:48
paid out some dough to try and make this go
15:50
away is either being dishonest or they're stupid, because there's
15:56
no hay in hell that this was going away even
15:59
after the settlement. And now these allegations, this story hasn't
16:03
just come back. It's exploded like a nuclear bomb, and
16:06
now we're seeing the after effects with this mushroom cloud
16:09
that's appeared over Prince Andrew and Buckingham Palace. And now
16:13
in order to mitigate that fallout, they've decided that they
16:17
have to cut ties completely with Prince Andrew. But the
16:21
question is is it too little, too late? All right, folks,
16:25
we're gonna wrap up this episode right here, and in
16:28
the next episode we're gonna pick up where we left off.
16:31
All of the information that goes with this episode can
