Andrew Rejects Balmoral as His Estrangement From the Royal Family Grows (8/25/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to take a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: trip across the pond and get an update on the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Joe Exotic of the Windsor family and his latest bout
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of stupidity. And that's because Prince Andrew or the artist
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: formerly known as Prince Andrew, feels abandoned by the Royal family.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And this dude's throwing such a big fit that he
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: declined an invitation from the King and the Royal family
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: because you know, he didn't want to be an outcast.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Imagine not wanting to be an outcast after doing what
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: he allegedly did. All you had to do was be honest,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: come forward when this was all breaking, and give your
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: side of the story and real evidence to back it up.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But he had none of that, right, he had no
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: real evidence. And that's because, in my opinion, the man's guilty.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And when you have no evidence and you have nothing
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to back up the bullshit you're saying, you end up
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: looking like well Prince Andrew in that BBC interview. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: today we have an article from Fox News and the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: headline Andrew feels abandoned by Royal family reject King Charles's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: invitation over outcast fears. This article was authored by Stephanie Alasko.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Andrew mount Batten Windsor reportedly feels abandoned by his family
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: as his royal exile deepens. Well, was it all worth it?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: All the time with Jeffrey Epstein hanging out at his house,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: using his money, his plane, all of his nonsense. Wasn't
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: worth it? Now I'm guessing it wasn't. British broadcaster and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that friends are
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: reportedly checking in regularly on the former Duke of York
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and he's certainly not hiding away from them. Rather than
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: spending the summer at Balmoral hidden away with the rest
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of the family, Andrew seems to be for time abroad
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: with friends, She said. Allegedly, he feels abandoned by certain
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: family members. Imagine feeling like you're the one who's been
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: wronged when you brought all this shame, all this sorrow
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to your own family, Never mind to Virginia and her family,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: but to your own family. But he's the one who's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: been wronged. He's the one who's been abandoned. Here's an
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: idea wherever you're at on vacation, keep your bitch ass there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the people of the UK have had enough.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: British royal expert Hillary Fordwitch echo charge sentiments, citing her sources.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Andrew isn't important anymore, said ford Witch. No one's very
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: concerned about how he's feeling. However, it's important to ensure
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: he doesn't cause any more damage to the monarchy. Well,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: how much more damage could he cause? Go and get
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: involved with one of those kill squads in like Molly
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: or something. I mean, besides that, what more could this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: do do? I think he's one of the most despised people,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and rightfully so in modern times. I mean, you're gonna
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: be hard pressed to find anybody that has a kind
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: sentiment to share about the Prince of Ponkasses. A friend
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of the ex royals told the son that Andrew feels
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: he's been abandoned and he feels like he's no longer
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a part of the family. I wonder if this dude
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: owns a mirror, and if he does, maybe, just maybe
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: he should take a look in it, because, my friend,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you weren't abandoned. You abandoned everything that you were supposed
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to be, and you certainly abandoned your responsibilities to the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: citizens of the UK. He was invited, but has got
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: no great desire to be at Balmoral as he has
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: nothing to gain and he would be treated as an outcast.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: The unnamed friend told the outlet, what's the point he
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: feels of going all the way there for a much
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: needed holiday and being treated as an elephant in the room.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Look canstand that, but I don't have any empathy for it,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and that's because he created this mess on his own.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Let's not act like Prince Andrew was dog walked into anything.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He chose to spend time with Epstein. He chose to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: do what he did, so you can save the whole. Oh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: he feels like he's being abandoned. Bullshit for somebody else
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: because I have zero empathy for the Joe Exotica, the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Windsor family none. Andrew stepped away from royal duties in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen following a widely criticized BBC Newsnight interview in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: which he attempted to explain his friendship with the late
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Talk about a pathetic attempt.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: One of the worst interviews I have ever seen. He
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: did so much damage to himself and the royal family
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: with that interview that it's hard to put into words.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, there were people that believed them up until
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that point. Then after that interview, boys sentiment really swore.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And up until that point, there was a lot of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: people that thought Virginia was telling stories. But after Prince
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Andrew embarrassed himself the way he did, there was a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: consensus that there's a lot more to the story than
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Andrew was letting on. And I think that's only escalated
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: throughout the years. This man has had many, many chances
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to come forward and make things right, and he never has.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, he was stripped of his military
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: titles and patronages by his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: as he faced Epstein's survivor, Virginia Roberts, sexual assault lawsuit
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: against him. Andrew and Roberts settled out of court for
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: an undisclosed on that year. And imagine being the Queen's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: son and saying that somebody is lying to you about
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: something as disgusting as this and not fighting it, Like,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: how do you settle if you're innocent? How do you settle?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And the settlement doesn't mean that he's guilty, right in
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: practical terms, But I'm talking about using common sense logic.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And if you use common sense and you use logic, well,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: do you think an innocent man who has the resources
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that this man had is going to just admit or
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: enter into a settlement for seventeen million dollars? How likely
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: does that sound to people out there? Doesn't sound very
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: likely to me. In October of twenty twenty five, King
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Charles stripped his younger brothers royal titles as Andrew faced
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: renewed scrutiny over his ties to Epstein. The scrutiny intensified
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: following the publication of Robert's memoir and the release of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: documents detailing Andrew's relationship with Epstein. Well, what they mean
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: is people finally started paying attention to what was already
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: known because anybody that was following along with the case,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: they knew that Prince Andrew wasn't telling the truth. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: guess what, he's still not telling the truth. Buckingham Palace
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: also served Andrew formal notice to under the lease on
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: his longtime residence, Royal Lodge. His ex wife, Sarah Ferguson
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was expected to make separate living arrangements. On February nineteenth,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct and public office
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: over an allegation that he shared confidential information with Epstein
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: during his time as UK Trade Envoy. He was released
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: after being held for eleven hours in police custody. The
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: investigation remains ongoing. They're going to need some help in
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that investigation, and that help is going to have to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: come from the DOJ, and we all know how that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: going to work out. Look at how they're treating the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Mandelssohn situation. They don't want to give the UK any
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of the information that they're looking for. And you have
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to ask yourself why you would think that, if you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: were part of the DOJ, that you'd want this investigation
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to expand maybe it opened some more doors for you,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: maybe it gives you some inroads, but no, instead, let's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: control that blast radius even across the pond. Andrew has
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: repeatedly denied wrongdoing and connection with Epstein and the allegations
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: against him. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor obviously is feeling the contempt
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and distancing from other senior members of the Royal family.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Royal broadcaster Ian Pelham told Fox News Digital, so his
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: mental health will become more prevalent. Some of his favorite
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: activities like riding and shooting may have been curtailed. The
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: ongoing police investigation is a continuous worry for him. And
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: still his soulmate and former wife is being distant. Soulmate,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: is it? I don't know. Seems to me that that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: was a marriage of convenience for both of them. Fergie
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: got that royal title, and Andrew was able to creep
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: around with scumbags like Epstein, and for them that was
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a win win. Andrew is confined to a lonely existence.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Turner continued, Allegedly, he watches TV channel, which shows planes
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: landing as one of his new methods of relaxation. Well,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: as long as he's not in the public eye, I
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: don't care what he does. Andrew's friend told the Son
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that the disgraced ex duke rejected the King's invitation to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Balmoral Castle because he feared he would be treated as
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: an outcast. Every summer, the royal family gathers at Balmoral
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to spend time together privately. About thirty members of the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: family are expected to join the King for the traditional
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: gathering this year. The Sun reported that the King is
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: not believed to have seen Andrew this year, despite a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: time staying only a mile away from him. Well, why
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: would he want to see Andrew? What exactly does he
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: have to gain from that? In my opinion, I think
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that the king would like to launch Prince Andrew to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the moon, and even then that might be too close.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Why would Andrew reject an olive branch from his brother?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Said Turner. There is a mixture of anger at what
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: happened to him, a distand for Charles which he may
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: see as a weak man, and no doubt arrogant with
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: his belief that he can do what he wants without
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: punitive measures taken against him. Also add to the tension
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the prince with Prince William. Andrew is boxed in and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: William hates him. We've been talking about this for years.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: William doesn't even want his kids around Andrew uncle touchy
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: in this piece because he knows, he knows what's up.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And look, I'm not saying that Andrew he is going to,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you know, hurt his kids, but he knows what the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: optics look like. And this man's going to be king someday,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: So optics for him are really important, and he understands
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a picture of him and his kids with Uncle Touchy
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: is not going to be a good thing. There will
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: never be any public restoration for Andrew at all, not
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: now with King Charles and certainly not with Prince William
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: when he ascended to the throne, said Ford. Which if
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Andrew did decline an invitation from the King, it might
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: just be Andrew's classic self concern that he'd feel too
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: awkward knowing he wasn't wanted by the extended family at large.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: The only family member I believe who has visited Andrew
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was Prince Edward. Now look that's his brother. I get it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who's unreasonable, and if the family wants
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to be around him, then hey great. My problem is
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: him being shoved into the public eye. Nobody wants to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: see that. The Son reported that Andrew's ex wife and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: their two daughters have avoided his new home, Marsh Farm,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: where he's lonely. Well, get yourself some internet connection and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: find some friends. Even as Andrew becomes increasingly isolated from
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: royal life, one privilege reportedly remains intact. The Daily Mail
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: reported that Andrew remains on a confidential government list of
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Royal family members with funeral plants prepared in advance. The
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: arrangements are known as Bridge plants, with plans for senior
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: royals named after Bridges in the UK, Well, isn't that nice?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Got to give Prince Andrew the proper sending off de we.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: When Queen Elizabeth the Ion died in twenty twenty two,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Operation London Bridge went into action. The plan for her husband,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Prince Philip, was known as Operation Fourth Bridge when he
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: died in twenty twenty one. The plans are kept confidential
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: until the Royal Dies People magazine reported. According to The
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Daily Mail, Andrews's funeral service is expected to be held
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: at Saint George's Chapel before he is laid to rest
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: at the Royal Burial Ground at Frogmore at Windsor. I'm
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: surprised he didn't want to be buried at Epstein's Townhouse.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Loved it there so much, favorite place in the world
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and all. Retired Rear Admiral Chris Perry, who Captain HMS Fearless,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: told The Delhi Mail that he believes the Royal Navy
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: would provide volunteers to serve as pallbearers at Andrew's funeral.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Andrews served in the Royal Navy from nineteen seventy nine
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to two thousand and one. He had a Falkland's Medal
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and you can't take that away from him, and he
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: deserves the credit for that, said Perry. If somebody said
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to me, would you do it? I do it. Great,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: have fun if that's what you want to do. Cool,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: But don't think the rest of us are going to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: come out and celebrate his bitch ass. Spencer Couven, an
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: attorney who represented nine of Epstein's victims, told the outlet
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: that taxpayers should never be funding a funeral for a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: private individual. No public money should be used to benefit
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: him during death. He said, it's an embarrassment to the Crown,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and I think that Spencer Coven spot on with that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: The whole entire ordeal is an embarrassment to the Crown.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And I think that when all said and done, it's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: going to end up being one of the biggest embarrassments
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the Crown has ever seen, because, in my opinion, we
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: still have more evidence to get to when it comes
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family, and you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: better believe we're going to be here every single step
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of the way as that unfolds. All the information that
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
