Birthright of Shame: Virginia Roberts and the Truth About Prince Andrew · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. Prince Andrew sits there a grown man, a royal,
• 0:10
  someone who's supposed to be an emblem of dignity and duty,
• 0:14
  and in Virginia Roberts's own words, he treated her like
• 0:17
  she was his birthright. That's the word she used, birthright,
• 0:22
  like it was ordained by God himself that he could
• 0:25
  just help himself to whoever was within reach. That kind
• 0:29
  of arrogance doesn't just happen, folks, it's cultivated. It's the
• 0:33
  product of being born into a palace where no one
• 0:36
  ever tells you no, where your mistakes are covered up,
• 0:39
  where your sins are brushed off as youthful indiscretions. And
• 0:43
  now we see what that really meant. That you thought
• 0:46
  people existed for your pleasure, and that being a winsor
• 0:49
  gave you the green light to use them however you
• 0:52
  pleased birthright. Let that word marinate for a second. It's
• 0:56
  not confidence, it's corruption. It's a kind of twisted logic
• 0:59
  that it can only come from someone who's lived so
• 1:02
  long without consequence that they've forgotten what shame even feels like.
• 1:07
  Prince Andrew wasn't born to server lead. He was born
• 1:11
  and then told the world to bend for him. And
• 1:14
  when it didn't bend fast enough, he just took what
• 1:16
  he wanted. According to her account, that's exactly what he
• 1:19
  did took. He took her innocence, her dignity, her peace
• 1:23
  of mind, all under the delusion that somehow you deserved
• 1:26
  it because of your title. Let's not pretend that this
• 1:30
  is about confusion or bad memory or whatever your handlers
• 1:33
  keep whispering into microphones. This shit's about power. You had it,
• 1:37
  she didn't, and you used it like a weapon. You
• 1:41
  walked into rooms knowing nobody would stop you. You were
• 1:43
  surrounded by people who saw your crown, and they look
• 1:46
  the other way. They always do. That's how predators like
• 1:49
  you operate, in plain sight, protected by status, wrapped in
• 1:53
  silk and secrecy. You remember the infamous newsnight interview, the
• 1:58
  one where you claimed you didn't swear, where you look
• 2:00
  like a man trying to out talk the truth itself. Yeah,
• 2:04
  that's the moment the world saw through your act. You
• 2:06
  weren't just embarrassed, you were exposed. And the more you talked,
• 2:10
  the clearer it got that you weren't sorry, you were indignant?
• 2:15
  How dare anyone question you right? How dare the peasants
• 2:18
  accuse a prince of something so vile, that smug entitlement?
• 2:23
  Who's that of you? Like poison? You didn't deny it
• 2:26
  because it was unthinkable. You denied it because in your
• 2:29
  head you didn't do anything wrong. You were exercising your rights.
• 2:34
  But what you called your right was another human beings nightmare.
• 2:40
  My friend Virginia wasn't a royal mistress. She wasn't an arrangement.
• 2:44
  She was a traffic girl, caught in a predator's web.
• 2:47
  Sold the monsters like you who thought power made them gods.
• 2:51
  You were just another name on Epstein's list, buddy, another
• 2:54
  rich parasite feeding on the vulnerable. And when it all
• 2:57
  came crashing down, you hid behind me mummy's skirt and
• 3:01
  your lawyer's briefcases. You bought your way out of court.
• 3:04
  You avoided jail, you avoided questions, you avoided everything but
• 3:08
  the truth. And that's what makes it so much worse,
• 3:11
  because you didn't just hurt one person. You hurt every
• 3:14
  survivor who's ever watched the rich get away with it.
• 3:19
  You reinforce that disgusting message that there are two sets
• 3:22
  of rules, one for the people who serve and one
• 3:25
  for the people born to rule. You're the walk and
• 3:28
  proof that justice bends for the powerful. You talk about loyalty, family,
• 3:32
  and service, but you don't even understand the words. Loyalty
• 3:36
  isn't buying silence, family isn't hiding behind a crown, and
• 3:39
  service sure as hell isn't exploiting the powerless while the
• 3:42
  world foots your bill. And the part that really makes
• 3:46
  people sick is how you still carry yourself like the victim.
• 3:49
  Like you were wronged, you were ambushed, you were tricked
• 3:52
  by epstein. No, you were an adult man or royal,
• 3:56
  with all the resources in the world to make the
• 3:58
  moral choice, and you chow evil. You surrounded yourself with
• 4:02
  predators and then acted shocked when people started calling you one.
• 4:06
  Spare us the pity act. You're not cursed, you're corrupt.
• 4:09
  You can polish your medals, pose for old photos, and
• 4:12
  whisper about redemption all you want, but history has already
• 4:17
  decided what you are. You're not a man of honor.
• 4:20
  You're a cautionary tale, a royal reminder that when privilege
• 4:24
  goes unchecked, it rots into something grotesque. You turned this
• 4:29
  royal highness into a punchline, into shorthand for cowardice and
• 4:32
  moral decay. So yeah, I despise it. I despise the arrogance,
• 4:37
  the smug denial, the idea that your bloodlined somehow makes
• 4:40
  what you did less vile. You didn't inherit divinity. You
• 4:45
  inherited dysfunction. You're not olde reverence, You're owed a reckoning.
• 4:49
  And every word of that memoir, every piece of testimony,
• 4:52
  every photograph that surfaces, it chips away at the lie
• 4:56
  that you built your life on. She found her voice,
• 4:59
  she told story. You'll spend the rest of your life
• 5:02
  trying to drown it out, but you can't, not with money,
• 5:05
  not with lawyers, not with royal spin. The truth will
• 5:09
  always scream louder than your bitch ass excuses. And that's
• 5:12
  the part that finally feels right after all these years,
• 5:16
  the man who thought he was untouchable has finally become
• 5:19
  untouchable in the worst way possible. Nobody wants to touch
• 5:22
  your name, your reputation, or your legacy ever. Again. Today's
• 5:28
  article is from The Independent, and the headline Prince Andrew
• 5:32
  believed having sex with me was his birthright. Virginia Roberts
• 5:36
  memoir claims this article was authored by Harriet Bouchet. Prince
• 5:43
  Andrew acted as though having sex with Virginia Roberts was
• 5:46
  his birthright, she claimed in her memoir. Miss Roberts, who
• 5:50
  was a central figure in the downfall of disgraced pedophile
• 5:53
  financier Jeffrey Epstein, died at the age of forty one
• 5:56
  in April, six months after completing the book, which lays
• 6:00
  out new details of allegations of sexual abuse against Prince Andrew.
• 6:05
  Miss Roberts, who settled the sexual assault lawsuit against the
• 6:08
  Duke of York, alleges the Duke slept with her on
• 6:11
  three separate occasions. Prince Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.
• 6:16
  Yeah with zero proof. Oh, I didn't do it. I
• 6:20
  was at the pizza joint. I can't sweat. I would
• 6:23
  never be caught in that kind of kid. Bro has
• 6:26
  every excuse in the world, and none of them are worthwhile.
• 6:30
  So I'll just straight up say it. You're a fucking liar,
• 6:33
  Prince Andrew, a good for nothing, piece of shit liar.
• 6:39
  In an extract of the book Nobody's Girl, a memoir
• 6:41
  of surviving abuse and fighting for justice. Miss Roberts described
• 6:45
  the prince as friendly enough but entitled, as she had
• 6:49
  sex with them on various occasions, including while staying at
• 6:52
  the house of Glenn Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend. You mean
• 6:55
  co conspirator, all around scumbag, fellow, child abuser and bipa serpent, Right,
• 7:00
  that's what you mean, near Hyde Park, London in March
• 7:05
  of two thousand and one. The extract published in the
• 7:08
  Guardian states Maxwell woke me up that morning by announcing
• 7:12
  in a sing songy voice, get out of bed, sleepy head.
• 7:15
  It was going to be a special day, she said,
• 7:18
  just like Cinderella. I was going to meet a handsome prince.
• 7:21
  A handsome prince. Handsome say what now. The memoir continues
• 7:27
  that Maxwell then took her shopping for the occasion. I
• 7:30
  put on the jeans on top, which left a strip
• 7:33
  of my stomach exposed. Maxwell wasn't thrilled, but like most
• 7:36
  teenage girls, then I idolized Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera,
• 7:41
  and the third outfit was something I imagined the two
• 7:43
  of them might wear. In the memoir, Miss Roberts states
• 7:47
  when she first met Maxwell, her British accent reminded her
• 7:50
  of Mary Poppins. And we've heard that from several different
• 7:53
  survivors that they were really caught off guard by Glenn
• 7:57
  Maxwell and her so called you know, pomp and circumstance.
• 8:02
  They thought they were dealing with some highbrow English socialite. Meanwhile,
• 8:07
  they had no idea they were dealing with the devil's
• 8:09
  wife herself. She wrote that when she met Andrew, he
• 8:13
  correctly guessed her age of seventeen years. The extract states,
• 8:16
  my daughters are just a little younger than you, he
• 8:19
  told me, explaining his accuracy. Can you imagine, bro, your
• 8:23
  daughters are a little bit younger than this girl that
• 8:26
  you're being set up with by Epstein and Maxwell to
• 8:29
  have sex with. How can you moralize that? How do
• 8:33
  you look at yourself and say, oh, you know what,
• 8:34
  this is cool? What if it was your daughter? What
• 8:37
  if your daughter was brought to some far flung location
• 8:40
  and treated the same way. How would you feel then,
• 8:43
  mister Prince. The book adds that Miss Roberts went to
• 8:47
  get her camera in order for a photograph of the
• 8:49
  encounter to be taken, which Epstein took. Well, yeah, Maxwell,
• 8:54
  Prince Andrew and Virginia are in the picture. Makes sense
• 8:58
  that egg dick derelict Epstein is the one that took
• 9:01
  the picture. It says, I suddenly thought of something. My
• 9:05
  mom would never forgive me if I met someone who's
• 9:07
  famous as Prince Andrew and didn't post for a picture. Well, yeah,
• 9:11
  imagine being a kid being told you're going to meet
• 9:14
  a prince. That has to be pretty exciting, right, Oh man,
• 9:18
  I'm going to meet a prince. You have this idea
• 9:20
  in your head of you know, this great guy, maybe
• 9:23
  a night somebody that protects the weak. But no, instead
• 9:27
  you get Prince Andrew. Talk about a fucking letdown. It
• 9:33
  continues to describe Miss Roberts going to the Tramp nightclub
• 9:36
  with Andrew and ads he was sort of a bumbling dancer,
• 9:39
  and I remember he sweated profusely, and of course Prince
• 9:43
  Andrew during the interview with Newsnight, denied that he could
• 9:46
  even sweat. I don't sweat, What are you crazy? I
• 9:49
  have a condition from my time in the war, right,
• 9:52
  and I'm in the next strong man's competition. The extract
• 9:55
  continues to describe how they return to the house and
• 9:59
  how she claims she and Andrew a bath before they
• 10:01
  had sex. It states he was friendly enough but still entitled,
• 10:05
  as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright. Well, yeah,
• 10:10
  everything he did right, everything the guy did. I'm a prince.
• 10:14
  I can do whatever I want. Who's gonna tell me no?
• 10:17
  I'll go tell my mom. She said that Epstein paid
• 10:21
  her fifteen thousand dollars for servicing the man the tabloids
• 10:25
  called Randy Andy, and there's no doubt that that's a
• 10:28
  good name. But I think the Joe exotic of the
• 10:30
  Windsor family is way more fitting. The memoir also includes
• 10:35
  to other occasions the Duke was alleged to have had
• 10:37
  sex with miss Roberts, including in New York a month
• 10:40
  later and on Epstein's private island in the US Virgin
• 10:43
  Islands when she was around eighteen. Epstein was found dead
• 10:47
  in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan in
• 10:50
  New York in August of twenty nineteen, while he awaited
• 10:53
  trial on sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled the suicide.
• 10:57
  In subsequent lawsuits, it was said Miss Roberts was a
• 11:00
  SPA attendant at mar A Lago US President Donald Trump's
• 11:05
  Palm Beach club when She was approached in two thousand
• 11:07
  by Epstein's former girlfriend. You mean co conspirator, all around scumbag,
• 11:13
  child abuser and bipudal serpent. Get it right, Wholane Maxwell.
• 11:18
  Maxwell was sentenced to twenty years in prison in New
• 11:20
  York in June of twenty twenty two after being found
• 11:23
  guilty of helping to recruit his underage victims and also
• 11:27
  abusing them. Let's not forget that part. Miss Roberts was
• 11:31
  hired as a missust for Epstein and was flown around
• 11:34
  the world for meetings with men at his behest while
• 11:37
  she was seventeen and eighteen. In a Newsnight interview with
• 11:40
  BBC's Emily Maitliss in November of twenty nineteen, Andrew denied
• 11:45
  claims that he slept with Miss Roberts, saying I can
• 11:48
  absolutely categorically tell you it never happened. I have no
• 11:52
  recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever. Meanwhile, there's
• 11:55
  a picture. Meanwhile, we all know you're lying. How about
• 12:00
  the email you sent to Epstein. The whole entire house
• 12:03
  of cards is now collapsing on itself. The question is
• 12:07
  will he be held accountable? Unfortunately, I think we all
• 12:11
  know the answer. The Duke also said he has no
• 12:15
  memory of a well known photograph of him with his
• 12:17
  arm around Miss Roberts's waist at Maxwell's house, and his
• 12:21
  questioned whether it was his own hand in the image.
• 12:25
  Andrew claimed in the Newsnight interview that he had a
• 12:27
  medical condition in two thousand and one after suffering an
• 12:30
  overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War, where he was
• 12:33
  shot at That meant he did not sweat. He said
• 12:38
  the alleged encounter with Miss Roberts in two thousand and
• 12:40
  one did not happen, and he spent the day with
• 12:43
  his daughter Princess Beatrice, taking her to Pizza Express and
• 12:46
  woking for a party. Buckingham Palace declined to comment. The
• 12:50
  Duke's representatives have been contacted for a comment. And you
• 12:55
  know what's ironic about all of this, Andy, You spent
• 12:58
  your whole damn life thinking the Crown or protect you
• 13:01
  no matter what you did, no matter how deep you
• 13:03
  sunk into filth, the palace walls would hold and Mummy's
• 13:07
  name would keep you safe. Guess what The Crown can't
• 13:11
  wash the stench off you. There isn't enough royal soap
• 13:14
  in Buckingham Palace to scrub away what you did. You
• 13:18
  were born into gold and somehow still managed to come
• 13:20
  out looking like shit. You called it birthright, as if
• 13:25
  abusing someone was written into your DNA, as if blue
• 13:28
  blood comes with a free pass to be a monster.
• 13:31
  The truth is your birthright is a curse. Every time
• 13:35
  your name's mentioned, people don't think of your honor or
• 13:38
  service anymore. They think a sweat lies and your shame.
• 13:43
  You've poisoned your own bloodline worse than any scandal in
• 13:46
  modern royal history. You turned your royal highness into your
• 13:49
  royal grossness, and the kicker You still don't get it.
• 13:53
  You think this will all fade, that time, money and
• 13:56
  the next Netflix show about the Windsors will bury the story.
• 14:00
  But this isn't just gossip. It's a stain. You'll never
• 14:03
  outlive it because you earned it. You built it, brick
• 14:06
  by brick. The arrogance, the sleeves, the cowardice. You're the
• 14:10
  kind of man who hides behind lawyers while the women
• 14:13
  you hurt has to keep your living or trauma in print.
• 14:16
  Look around you, Andy, nobody's cheering, nobody's bowing. The guards
• 14:20
  at the gate, look away, when your name's mentioned. Even
• 14:24
  the tabloids, those professional boot liquors, can't save your image anymore.
• 14:29
  You've become a punchline in a country that stopped laughing.
• 14:32
  You've taken a thousand year a monarchy and turned it
• 14:35
  into a meme. You wanted privilege, you got it. You
• 14:38
  wanted power, you used it like a weapon. You want
• 14:41
  it to be untouchable. Well, congratulations, no one wants to
• 14:44
  touch you. You've become radioactive, a walking reminder of everything
• 14:49
  the British public despises about power, the arrogance, the entitlement,
• 14:53
  the rod at the top that thinks it can do
• 14:56
  anything and still sit at the head of the table.
• 14:58
  So yeah, Prince Andrew, you might still have your titles,
• 15:01
  your estates, your royal pension, but you lost the only
• 15:04
  thing that ever mattered. Respect. People see you for what
• 15:08
  you are now, not a prince, not a patriot, not
• 15:11
  even a man, just a spoiled, delusional relic who thought
• 15:14
  rape was his birthright and accountability was beneath him. You've
• 15:18
  become the ghost of your own disgrace, and there's no knighthood,
• 15:22
  no settlement, and no palace big enough to hide from that.
