How Prince Andrew Ran Out Of Road · The Epstein Chronicles

  Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: In Prince Andrew's addled brain, this guy truly believes that
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: there's a way back for him at some point. And
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: he thinks that he's going to be part of the conversation,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: part of the public conversation, moving forward. Well, his brother, Mr.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I-Like-To-Accept-Money-From-Osama-Bin Laden's family, he's not going to have it. and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew and all of his dreams of coming back
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and being part of the royal family as far as
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the public face, these are all pie-in-the-sky dreams. These are
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the same kind of dreams that I have when I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: walk into a casino and put my $ 21 into megabucks
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: hoping I win, right? It's just not reality. It's not
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: going to happen. And in fact, I'll take it a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: step further. I'll say that I have a better chance
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of hitting megabucks than this guy ever has of coming
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: back and being part of the public conversation. Nobody wants
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: him around. Nobody's going to invite him to parties. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: certainly the royal family doesn't need him out there representing them,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: do they? Don't they have enough problems as it is?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: They need this guy running around being their representative? It
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: is just all bad. And as much as I think
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Charles is a tool as well, I think that they're
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: doing the right thing talking about paring down the monarchy.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: How many of these people do you need running around
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: representing the people of England? I'm sure one or two
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is plenty. You need every cousin and every relative running
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: around talking about I'm a royal, I'm this, I'm that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Here's an idea. Shut your mouth and go get a job.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Today we have an article from the Express, and the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: author of this article is Ciaran McGrath. Headline, No Way Back.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Andrew's dreams return to royal life are in tatters as
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Charles loses patience. Prince Andrew has no realistic chance of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: being rehabilitated as a frontline royal once his brother Prince
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Charles becomes king, a royal commentator has said. There is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Prince Andrew is up against it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: If he wants any allies left, he's going to have
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to move quickly to try and get back into the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: public eye, right? Because the queen is pretty much his
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: only ally at this point. I guess his daughters too,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: but they really aren't going to move the needle as
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: far as royal decisions go. So literally his only ally
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: at this point is his mother. His brother wants nothing
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to do with him. His nephew certainly wants nothing to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: do with him. And those are the two power brokers.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Those two people, those two guys are the king and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the crown prince or, you know, going to be the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: king and the crown prince. So those those two are
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: going to make the decisions. And Andrew is just going
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to have to fall in line and deal with whatever
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: they decide to do. However, daughters Princess Eugenie and Beatrice
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: have not put a foot wrong and are the perfect
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: fit for a slimmed-down royal family. Jonathan Sacrodoti predicted, The
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Duke of York, who has been badly damaged by his
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: links with billionaire former pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was eyeing a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: return to the royal fold with the assistance of his
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: two children. And why are we letting him off here?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It's not just his relationship with Epstein. It's the fact
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that he is actually being accused of taking part. The
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: relationship with Epstein is bad enough, right? But when you're
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: accused of actually sexually assaulting one of his trafficking survivors,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that puts you in a different area code. That makes
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you one of the scummier amongst the scummy. And that's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: exactly what Prince Andrew is alleged to be. Virginia Roberts
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: claimed she had been trafficked by Epstein for Andrew, although
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a civil case relating to the matter was settled before
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it came to court in the U.S. with the Duke
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of York accepting no liability. Epstein died in prison in
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: 2019 with suicide as the official verdict. So even here,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: there was no claim of ability or liability from the prince.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, give me a break. I don't know how
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: many times we've got to say it, but I don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: know too many people that are negotiating big fat settlements
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: like this if they're innocent. If you're innocent, then you're innocent.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Why are you going to pay this money? Last week,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Neil Sean, the Royal Entertainment Reporter for NBC News, MSNBC,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and Access Hollywood, suggested Andrew was eyeing a return to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the royal fold with the help of his two children. Look,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: if he's going to try and get back, then riding
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the coattails of his kids are probably the best way
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to do it. But with that said, I think people
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: are hip to it. People understand what kind of conniving
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: son of a bitch he is, what sort of grifter
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: he is. So people aren't going to let him make
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: his comeback on the coattails of his daughters. And furthermore,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: this is another man who uses his children as an
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: alibi for his bullshit and yet can't prove that it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: even true. However, Mr. Sacradati suggested if the claims were accurate,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the Duke was being overly optimistic about He said, I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: can't see any way that the royal family would try
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to push Prince Andrew front and center again anytime soon.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I think that corresponds with an arrow when we're seeing
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the royal family slim down anyway in terms of who's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: put out there to do a lot of the public work.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: So with the slimming down and them wanting to make
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it less of a big thing, I guess, it would
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: make sense to cut some of the low-hanging fruit like
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew right off the tree. And for his daughters,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I guess you could give them some sort of nominal role, right?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I've said it a million times. I don't have a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: problem with his daughters. You know, I don't know them.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It's not the sins of the father. I'm not going
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to say his daughters are responsible for his behavior. That's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for damn sure. I think that the queen... has divided
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: more of her role to the next generations in order
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to alleviate the burden on her at her old age.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And that is entirely reasonable. Look, 100%, as much as
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I criticize the Queen for her behavior as far as
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Andrew goes, a woman this age shouldn't have to deal
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: with this nonsense and it being caused by her own children.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I can't even imagine being 95 years old and having
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: one of my kids called the diddler on the roof.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Imagine what you must feel like But her behavior throughout
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the whole thing has been less than exemplary, especially considering
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: when it's such a serious matter with so much at stake.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: In due course, when Prince Charles is the monarch, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: think we will see even more steps to slim down
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the working royal family. Part of the reason for that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: will be to avoid any controversies about individuals or to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: avoid putting anyone out there who they feel might not
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: command the same level of respect that the monarchs themselves command.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: And I think part of the reason will just be
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: modernization that is deemed responsible and sensible. Well, if you
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: look at the other royal families around Europe, they've all
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: been pared down for the most part. None of them
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: are bloated the way this family is. You know, you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: see all of these people in the royal family and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it's like they're superstars or something. Why? Because they were
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: born with a certain kind of blood? So weird to me.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand it. He explained, There isn't maybe
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the appetite for such a large working royal family anymore.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Many of them will continue to do good work, but quietly.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I think without as much attention. And I think that anyway,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew will fall into that wider effort to try
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to focus things more on key important members of the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: family at the top and allow others to blend a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: bit more into the background. I honestly don't even know
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: if you'll get that. He's lucky that all he's getting
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: is being exiled, right? Because from where I'm sitting, somebody
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: should look at this guy criminally. If somebody brings those
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: sorts of charges against you and there's a lot of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: legwork done and a lot of evidence to back it up,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of receipts, I would think that that's something
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to look into. It's one thing if somebody makes an
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: accusation without evidence, but it's a whole new ballgame when
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: evidence is provided, right? He explained, there isn't maybe the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: appetite for such a large working family anymore. Beatrice and Eugenie,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: 33 and 32, 11th and 12th in line to the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: throne respectively, are Andrew's daughters with former wife Sarah, Duchess
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of York, formerly Sarah Ferguson. Eugenie married brand ambassador Jack Brooksbank, 36,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: at St. George's Chapel in Windsor in 2018, six months
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: after her cousin Prince Harry married Meghan Markle at the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: same venue. Now look, again, I really don't have much
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to say about the daughters. I'm not one of these
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: people that follows the royal family. I really don't know
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: what they're up to. Unless it has something to do
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: with Epstein or the overall arcing story we talk about,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I have no time or desire to follow Normal people,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: like they're some sort of special group. Beatrice married property
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: developer Eduardo Alessandro Mapelli-Mosi, 38, in a private ceremony in 2020. Mr.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Sacradotti said, if I'm not mistaken, Beatrice and Eugenie work
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in jobs outside the family. I think I'm correct in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: saying that. And I think it's important, a symbol of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: exactly that, which is that I don't think in today's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: age most people necessarily support the idea of a very
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: large extended family working only as royals no they should
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: have jobs like anybody else I mean, it's not the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: old days, right? It's a whole new world, basically. And
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: just because you were born a royal doesn't mean you
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: should just sit around and have people feed you fish
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and chips all day or whatever the hell it is
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you're eating. An important part of the royal family maintaining
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: its support among the nation is that it's seen to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: pull its weight both in the working royal family and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: for those who are outside it to pull their weight
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in a way that doesn't embarrass the family but does
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: show their own value to society and their own interest
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: in some level of self-sufficiency and what have you. Well, yeah,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: normal people look at them and they're sickened. You get
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: up every day, go to work. A lot of people
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: hate their jobs. You got to provide for your family though, right?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: You can't just say, no, I'm not going. But these
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: royals are just sitting around getting paid for what? To
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: basically be influencers? You don't need to be a royal
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to do that anymore. Go get yourself 2 million followers
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: on TikTok and you'll be an influencer too. So the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: days of royals and royalty, that's something of a bygone
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: era for me. And in my opinion anyway, I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it'll be a good thing when all of these monarchies
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: are a thing of the past. If you'd like to
