  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 bounce across
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the pond and we're going to get an update on
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew and the latest information about a new police
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: probe targeting Prince Andrew and his activities with Jeffrey Epstein
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and Ghislaine Maxwell at the Balmoral Estate in Scotland. And
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of course, we know that Prince Andrew hosted Ghislaine Maxwell
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Epstein at this estate. And how do we
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: know that? Well, we have the pictures. So now, the authorities,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: they're going to investigate if anything went on while they
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: were on this property. Because we know that there have
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: been allegations of human trafficking and abuse at this property.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So now, the police in Balmoral have added to Prince
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Andrew's woes by announcing that this investigation is in its infancy.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So today, we have an article from the Daily Mail
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and the headline. Police probe Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor stays at Balmoral
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: amid claims Epstein trafficked women to the King's estate. Well,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: if any of his assistants were with him at that estate,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: then there were definitely trafficked girls there, right? Now, was
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Epstein using it as some kind of hub for his
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: trafficking operation? I doubt that very highly, but I don't
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: think that's what they're investigating. What they're investigating are the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: claims from girls, from women, who say that they were
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: abused on this property. This article was authored by Aidan Radnedge.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faces a new police probe as officers investigate
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: allegations that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women to Balmoral. Police Scotland
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: have confirmed inquiries into stays at the King's Scottish Highlands
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: estate by the late convicted pedophile, and his former girlfriend,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you mean co-conspirator, fellow all-around scuzzbag and child abuser and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: bipedal serpent, Ghislaine Maxwell, who has since been jailed. There
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: have been claims that women were trafficked to the private
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Balmoral estate. And listen, again, if we're talking about the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: girls that we know about, then there's no doubt. If
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: we're taking the claim further, that it was some kind
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of hub, then I'd have to disagree with that. because
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: there's no evidence telling us that that's the case. However,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: in the UK, we know that Epstein had multiple properties
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that he was running Traffic Girls through. Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Maxwell are said to have flown to Balmoral on a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: private jet owned by Epstein in 2006. US prosecutors previously
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: shared a picture of Epstein and Maxwell at Balmoral Log
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Cabin from a trip to Royal Deeside in 1999. So look,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: there's no dispute that they were at this property The
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: dispute is what occurred while they were there. Were people
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: being trafficked? Were people abused? Did Jeffrey Epstein bring underage
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: girls with him to the king's, you know, palace or cabin?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: These are all questions that have to be answered, right?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And if Prince Andrew's bitch ass would have just been
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: honest throughout the years, well, the royal family wouldn't find
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: themselves in this position. And if the royal family would
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: have just done the right thing, and handle Prince Andrew's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: bullshit right away, well, they wouldn't find themselves in this position.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And now with the invention of the internet, people aren't
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: able to keep these secrets. Stuff gets out. And when
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it comes to somebody like Prince Andrew, once the tap
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: gets turned on, it's not getting turned off. A Police
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Scotland spokesperson said, we have received information and active inquiries
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: are going on, but these are at a very early stage.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: All inquiries are evidence-led with the needs of victim survivors
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: at the heart of those inquiries. So it sounds like
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they're going after the allegations that abuse occurred. Now, are
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they going to stick to that? I don't know. But
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that sounds like where they're going right now. So that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: would lead me to believe that somebody has alleged that
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they were abused at Balmoral. Now, I haven't seen the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: paperwork on that. but that's the most logical conclusion. We
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: would never confirm details of an ongoing inquiry, and it
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: would be inappropriate to comment further. Multiple forces, including Thames
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Valley Police, the Metropolitan Police, and Surrey Police, also have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: live investigations linked to the release of the Epstein files,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the National Police Chiefs Council confirmed. So there's multiple concurrent
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: investigations going on in the UK. And now you can
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: add this one up in Scotland to the list. An
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: NPCC spokesperson said, Identifying any further potential offending suspects, victims,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: or witnesses is a complex process and will take time,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: but UK police remain committed to carrying out meticulous assessment
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of the material released by the U.S. Department of Justice.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: There is not currently a national investigation, the NPCC said.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So is it all for optics or are they really
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: going to try and pursue it? I mean, I would
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: hope that they're going to really pursue it and I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: really hope that America plays ball. I mean, imagine being
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in a position of power and you have your ally
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of how many hundreds of years come forward and ask
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you for a little bit of help on files that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: have been released that have to do with Arroyo and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: his bullshit and you're like, nah, I'm too busy for
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that See, I'd love to help you, but... I mean,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it's damaging, folks. What happens in the future when inevitably
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the United States needs something from the UK? What, you
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: think the UK is just going to bend over backwards
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: after America has performed so poorly when it comes to this?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: The amount of damage being done by this administration is unbelievable.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: We would never confirm details of ongoing inquiries and it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: would be inappropriate to comment further. The former Duke of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: York was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: on February 19th, his 66th birthday, following allegations that he
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: shared sensitive information with Epstein during his time as the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: UK's trade envoy. Andrew was interviewed under caution before being
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: released under investigation and denies wrongdoing, with the police probe ongoing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And we know that there was a bit of a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: win for Andrew recently. when a judge ruled that the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: search warrants that were used to gather information during his
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: arrest were not drawn up properly. So that was a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: bit of a victory for Andrew. And considering how many
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: L's this dude has, I'm sure that W tasted pretty good.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: But I hope you enjoyed it, because I doubt there's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: going to be more of those coming. Buckingham Palace denounced
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: last year that Mr. Manbatten-Windsor would no longer be known
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: as a prince and would leave Royal Lodge. instead taking
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: up residence at the family's Sandringham estate in Norfolk. King
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Charles stripped his brother of titles after weeks of pressure
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to act over Andrew's relationship with the late financier and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: convicted pedophile Epstein. Too little, too late. Prince Andrew should
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: have been stripped a long time ago. It's obvious he's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: been lying. I mean, just take a look at the picture.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Bro lied through his teeth about that picture. And why
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: would he lie about that picture? Because that shit was damning.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: That's why. So if he's lying about that, you know
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: where I'm going with this. What else is he lying about?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: That came after the former prince said he would no
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: longer use the title Duke of York following new revelations
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: about his friendship with Epstein and renewed sexual abuse allegations
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts. Miss Roberts, who died by
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: suicide in April last year, said that she was forced
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to have sex three times with Andrew, which he denies.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: including when she was 17 and also during an orgy
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: after she was trafficked by Epstein. Imagine having those allegations
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: fired off against you and you're the Prince of England
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and nobody does anything about it till all these years later.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Talk about a whole ass embarrassment for the royal family.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Andrew paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: with her in 2022, despite insisting he had never met her. Yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: let's just pay a bunch of dough to somebody we've
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: never met who I have a picture with I mean,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: come on, enough already. Miss Roberts had previously told how
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Epstein and his accomplice, Maxwell, kept her as a sex
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: slave while flying her around the world and offering her
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to their powerful associates like a platter of fruit. She
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: alleged they trafficked her to the Duke of York when
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: she was 17 and was three times sexually assaulted by him,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a claim by which the prince has denied. A photograph
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: had been widely shared of them together in a London townhouse,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: his arm and around her bare midriff and was included
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in Ms. Roberts' lawsuit against him. Prince Andrew's another one.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Don't believe your eyes. Believe what I tell you. Are
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: these people for real with that bullshit? We all saw
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the picture. What were you doing with Virginia in Ghislaine
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Maxwell's house? And considering he had no good excuse for that,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: he just denied it. As if that picture didn't exist.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Epstein killed himself in August of 2019, allegedly. while awaiting
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: trial on federal sex trafficking charges involving dozens of teenage
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: girls and young women, some as young as 14. In lawsuits, Ms.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Roberts said she was a teenage spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: President Trump's Palm Beach Club, when she was approached in
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: 2000 by Epstein's girlfriend and later employee, Glenn Maxwell. You
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: mean co-conspirator? Girlfriend. Yeah, sure. And I'm the center for
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. Ms. Roberts said Maxwell hired her as a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: masseuse for Epstein, but the couple effectively made her a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: sexual servant, pressuring her into gratifying not only Epstein, but
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: his friends and associates. Buckingham Palace said in a statement
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: last October that the King's moves against Andrew were deemed
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: necessary notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: allegations against him. The statement said, His Majesty has today
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles, and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: honors of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: provided him with legal protection, to continue in his residence.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and he will move to an alternative private accommodation. These
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and will remain with the victims and survivors of any
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and all forms of abuse. Officers have been investigating Andrew,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: for alleged misconduct in public office, and it was suggested
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that emails he sent to convicted sex offender Epstein while
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: he was in the UK's trade envoy contained sensitive information.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And that's what he's being looked at for right now.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: All this other stuff is part of it, but it
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: comes down to the confidential information. That's what opened the door.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: As plainclothes officers searched his property earlier this year, Andrew
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: was arrested and held for almost 12 hours at Elsom
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Police Station in Norfolk while he was being questioned. He
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: was released under investigation and strongly denies any wrongdoing. It
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: was the first time a royal had been detained by
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: police in more than 350 years. Not exactly the milestone
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you're looking to achieve, huh? Imagine being this big of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a fool, this big of a douche, this big of
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a moron. Folks, I'd like to introduce you to none
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: other than Prince Andrew. And just when he thought he
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: was out, they pulled him back in All the information
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that goes with this episode can be found in the
• 12:23
