Former Aide Charlotte Manley Agrees to Speak With Police About Epstein-Era Royal Operation · The Epstein Chronicles

Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're gonna hop across the
0:07
Pond and we're gonna get an update on Joe exotic
0:11
of the Windsor family and how his former PA has
0:16
now signaled that she is willing to talk to the
0:18
police about Andrew and his behavior. And I'll tell you
0:23
what this is. How you get people those closest to
0:28
them start talking about what they were doing. And how
0:31
many times have we seen it a high profile person,
0:34
whether a criminal or otherwise get taken down by an associate.
0:39
It happens all the time. Now. I don't think that
0:42
Charlotte Manley, who used to be Prince Andrew's PA, is
0:46
facing any charges herself, so it's not like she was
0:49
being pressured that way. But Andrew's not the kind of
0:51
guy that really inspires loyalty, right. I don't see anybody
0:56
going down with the ship for the former Prince Andrew,
1:00
and certainly not somebody like Charlotte many. Today's article was
1:05
published by the Times and the headline Andrew's former PA
1:09
will speak to police about her time serving the Royal
1:15
This article was authored by Will Humphries and Charlotte Alt,
1:21
the former personal assistant Andrew mount Batten Windsor, has told
1:25
The Times she would speak to police about her time
1:28
serving under the disgraced former prince. And I think we're
1:32
going to see a lot more of this because I
1:34
think that Andrew was being protected by the shield of
1:36
the monarchy. But I think that shield's gone, and I
1:40
think that people are going to be coming out of
1:41
the woodwork now with stories about Andrew. And I think
1:46
that one of the best sources on what's going on
1:49
with Andrew is Andrew Lowney, who is a historian and
1:53
an author who covers the royal family and specifically Prince
1:58
Andrew lately, and he's certainly has his finger on the
2:01
pulse when it comes to what's going on with Andrew
2:03
over in the UK. And according to Andrew Lowney, he's
2:08
had a lot of people come forward recently, you know,
2:11
last few months or whatever, who are now willing to
2:14
talk about Prince Andrew and his time as envoy and
2:18
other situations. Whereas previously people were scared of the crown,
2:23
but now the dam's broken and that water is rushing
2:27
on out. Charlotte Manley sixty eight was private Secretary and
2:31
Treasurer to Andrew from two thousand and one to two
2:34
thousand and three, and before that had served as his
2:37
assistant Private Secretary and treasurer since nineteen ninety six. So
2:43
pretty sure that miss Manley knows a thing or two
2:45
about Prince Andrew and that the very least can corroborate
2:49
some of the information. Now, does she have some kind
2:52
of smoking gun evidence? Probably not, But when you're building
2:56
a case, it's all about that circumstantial evidence. To get
2:59
things off the ground, you got to have witness statements,
3:02
You have to you know, build from the bottom up,
3:05
and that's what's going on here. And when you have
3:08
people that have intimate knowledge of what you were up to,
3:11
even if it wasn't criminal, it helps the investigators build
3:14
that profile and they do it with one piece of
3:17
circumstantial evidence at a time. Manly, who served as an
3:22
officer in the Royal Navy between nineteen seventy six and
3:26
nineteen ninety six, regularly accompanied Andrew on as many trips
3:30
abroad after he was made the UK Special Representative for
3:34
Trade and Investment in two thousand and one. It also
3:38
emerged that she signed a seventy five dollars check from
3:41
a Buckingham Palace bank on Andrew's behalf on June two
3:46
thousand to pay a South African masseuse who glam Maxwell
3:49
had arranged to attend him at his room in the palace. Well,
3:54
that's called a paper trail and that's not going to
3:57
be good for Prince Andrew. I know, breaking news, right,
4:00
because that's the big problem for Andrew at this point.
4:03
It's not even the allegations about Virginia. And that's not
4:06
saying that won't come up at some point, but right now,
4:09
what they're doing is following that paper trail. And that
4:12
paper trail certainly looks like there's a lot of impropriety
4:15
on the part of Prince Andrew, and not as a
4:18
private citizen. Remember that's very important, right, he was representing
4:23
the government the people of the UK and he's up
4:26
to this bullshit. Now. If he was doing this in
4:29
a private capacity and not on the dime of the
4:31
British public, then he'd have an argument that nobody should
4:34
bother him. Right, I'm a ground ass man, I can
4:37
do what I want. But that's not the case. You
4:40
were representing the people of the UK and if you're
4:46
up to no good, trading secrets and passing things off
4:50
to people that shouldn't have them, and god knows what else.
4:54
Then you should be held accountable for it. And once
4:56
the door's open to that, you know they're going to
4:58
look at the allegations by Virginia. That's how these investigations go.
5:04
Maxwell had been a client of Monique giann Aloni, who
5:08
had a massage clinic in Kensington, and she promised the messuse,
5:12
I'm going to introduce you to someone more famous than God.
5:16
Imagine being that excited about meeting Prince Andrew. I'd rather
5:21
go to the dentist and have all my teeth pulled
5:25
than spend one minute with Prince Andrew, more famous than
5:31
God maybe now certainly more infamous, that's for damn sure.
5:38
A few weeks later, Gianne alone received a call from
5:41
Manley to a book a treatment for Andrew in Buckingham Palace.
5:45
So Manley certainly knows about this. And look, I'm not
5:48
saying that this was improper, right, I'm not saying that
5:52
Andrew did anything untowards to this woman. But it fits
5:56
a larger pattern. And when you're dealing with something like
6:01
what we're dealing with where there is a lot of
6:04
scattered information, you have to build it up. And the
6:07
way you do that is piece by piece. This story
6:10
corroborates that story, Okay, this timeline fits here, Oh, in
6:14
that person, they certainly said this, and on and on
6:17
and on, and it's like a gigantic puzzle. And of course,
6:22
as you know with puzzles, you have to start with
6:24
the coroners first. So if you look at this situation
6:27
that we're talking about right here with Andrew getting this massage,
6:30
what's the big deal? Right, grown ass man can get
6:33
a massage whenever he wants. Who cares? Two adults consenting,
6:37
nobody's business. But if it's the overall larger pattern and
6:42
once again proves that Andrew has been lying, and I
6:45
think that's crucial, especially as an investigator. If you know
6:49
somebody is playing loose with the truth and you can
6:52
confirm it time and time again, you're not going to
6:54
believe anything they say, and you know who else isn't
6:57
going to believe them? A jury, that's who. Gianneloni said
7:03
she didn't believe any background checks were done on her,
7:06
and she was waved through palace security and taken to
7:09
Andrew's room. I got to the room and Andrew was
7:12
stood there in a robe, she told The Daily Mail
7:14
in twenty nineteen. After saying hello, he disappeared to the
7:19
bathroom and came back in the nude, like his buddy
7:21
Jeffrey Hunh. I averted my eyes and I was quite embarrassed.
7:26
Gianneloney said. Other than the initial embarrassment, she had no
7:30
issues during the massage, during which Andrew was covered with
7:33
a towel, and said he was very nice and very gentlemanly. Well,
7:38
of course, if you want to be a cynic, you
7:40
can say that this lady was too old for him.
7:43
I know, I know, very cynical, right, But considering what
7:47
we've heard about Prince Andrew and his buddies, is that
7:50
too big of Elipe Manly signed the check paying Gianneloni
7:54
for her visit from Royal Family Coot's bank account. The
7:57
Times visited Manly's large will Shire her home to ask
8:01
about the payment and whether she had seen or experienced
8:04
anything untoward during her time serving Andrew as his personal assistant.
8:11
Manly answered the door and said well done for finding me.
8:14
When asked if she would speak about her experience serving
8:17
under Andrew, she said I would rather talk to the
8:20
police than the press, not that I would have much
8:22
to tell them, Well, anything you can tell them might help.
8:27
She might not have seen anything that's you know, criminal,
8:30
if you will, but she might have timeline pieces that
8:32
fit together, or she might have some kind of corroborating
8:36
evidence about Prince Andrew being located somewhere, and when you're
8:40
conducting an investigation, all of that's very important. Manly was
8:46
made a Dame Commander of the Royal Victorian Order by
8:49
the King in his New Year's Honors for twenty twenty six,
8:53
and was previously appointed in OBE in nineteen ninety six
8:57
and Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in twenty eighteen.
9:02
The CVO is an honor awarded personally by the British
9:05
Monarch to recognize the extraordinary or personal service to Sovereign,
9:10
the Royal Family or the representatives. After she stepped down
9:15
from her role serving Andrew in two thousand and three,
9:18
Manly became a chapter clerk of Saint George Chapel Windsor.
9:22
She retired last year. So certainly somebody that would be
9:25
in the know, and somebody that's been on the government
9:29
dime for a very long time. During her time working
9:33
with Andrew, she was often listed in the Court circular
9:37
as having joined on trade en void trips or meeting
9:39
him at various airports or airfields upon his return. Among
9:44
these visits was New York in two thousand and one,
9:48
shortly after Andrew took over the role, as well as
9:51
trips to Bulgaria, Brazil, the Falkland Islands, Peru, and Canada. Well,
9:56
we know that Epstein was abusing people in Brazil and Peru,
10:01
probably Canada and my guest Bulgaria as well. So was
10:06
Andrew meeting with anybody down there that was friendly with Epstein? Again?
10:10
I don't know. I'm just asking questions. The King's meeting
10:16
leaders of Commonwealth nations this week, and discussions are expected
10:19
to include the removal of Andrew from the line of succession.
10:24
A newly released Epstein filed document shows an alleged victim
10:28
of Jeffrey Epstein told the FBI that she saw Andrew
10:32
in the Pedophile financier as New York home in two
10:35
thousand and eight or two thousand and nine and watched
10:38
does Epstein photograph the Prince giving her gorolla massage with
10:42
her clothes on It's not known if the description relates
10:46
to photographs uncovered this year of Andrew crouched over a
10:49
woman lying on her back as he placed his hands
10:52
on her. And I don't know if that's the picture
10:55
that corroborates this, but it looks damned suspicious and it
10:59
doesn't look good for Andrew. The woman told the FBI
11:04
investigators in twenty twenty that she recalled going to Ebstein's
11:07
home in New York and being quite shocked to see
11:10
Prince Andrew was in the kitchen with another girl. She
11:15
described the girl as being approximately twenty something and able
11:18
to speak good English, but not an American. I won't
11:22
even begin to speculate who that could have been. There
11:25
are numerous women and girls who are at Epstein's house
11:29
all the time. The FBI report of the interview states
11:35
that Epstein asked the girl to massage Prince Andrew's shoulders
11:38
and back. The girl started massaging Prince Andrew's back, Epstein
11:42
left the room and came back to the room with
11:44
the camera. Epstein never took pictures of anybody. There was
11:48
no blackmail. Imagine being that dumb to actually believe that.
11:55
Prince Andrew then told the girl that it was her
11:57
turn to be massaged. Prince Andrew massaged the girl back, shoulders, waist,
12:01
and hands. Everyone had clothes on during the massage. Well, okay,
12:06
that's cool. What happened later on when the cameras were off?
12:11
Considering what we just heard from the massage therapist that
12:15
went to a Buckingham palace, do you really think that
12:18
nothing occurred here? Andrew and Epstein were just having some
12:20
fun tickle fights. The woman told the FBI that she
12:26
just wanted to leave when this was happening, but Epstein
12:28
took her to a different room where he pushed her
12:31
against the wall, trying to take her top off. Epstein
12:34
told her he wanted to take a picture of her.
12:37
She told him he could take picture, but she would
12:39
not let him take her top off, the report states.
12:42
Earlier in the interview, the woman described being repeatedly forced
12:46
to have sex with Epstein and one of his friends. Well,
12:49
I wonder who that friend is. But remember, there's nobody
12:54
else involved here, right, That's what we were told. There's
12:57
no other co conspirators. Nobody else was abused anybody, and
13:01
it was just Epstein and that is obviously one hundred
13:04
percent demonstrably false. But you know what's not false. You
13:08
know what's true as hell. Prince Andrew is one of
13:12
the biggest dumbasses in the history of dumbasses, and the
13:16
only person that Prince Andrew has to blame for anything
13:20
is Prince Andrew himself. All the information that goes with
13:23
