Queen Elizabeth Accused of Shielding Prince Andrew From the Epstein Fallout · The Epstein Chronicles

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