Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Mega Edition: Prince Andrew And The Relationship That Cost Him Everything (7/9/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Epstein Chronicles. Well, folks, it finally happened. Prince Andrew, the
- 0:08world's most unemployed aristocrat, just got pink slipped by the Crown.
- 0:12And not only that, but his bitch ass got booted
- 0:14from the royal lodge, stripped of every shiny trinket and
- 0:18meaningless title that used to let him pretend that he
- 0:21was somebody. The Duke of Disgrace is now just Andrew
- 0:25Mountbatten Windsor, a middle aged freeloader who finally ran out
- 0:29of excuses, connections, and tax payer funded hideouts. The only
- 0:34thing more unbelievable than his downfall is how long it took.
- 0:38The writing's been on the palace wall for years. It
- 0:41just took a bulldozer made a public disgust to make
- 0:44the royals finally read it. The man who once thought
- 0:47that his royal blood made him untouchable has finally discovered
- 0:50that even privilege has an expiration date, especially when your
- 0:54name's been dragged through enough scandals that it would make
- 0:57tabloid editor's blush. Remember this is the guy who used
- 1:02to strut around in a uniform that he barely earned,
- 1:05puffed up like a parade balloon, bragging about duty and
- 1:08service while cozying up to Jeffrey Epstein, the human embodiment
- 1:12of sleas in corruption. He wanted to be seen as
- 1:15a noble, gallant figure, a veteran, a statesman, while his
- 1:19friends were international predators and financial manipulators. He called it networking.
- 1:25The rest of us called it complicity. Andrew was in
- 1:28some innocent bystander caught in a bad crowd. He was
- 1:31the crowd, jet setting with the predator, hiding behind royal
- 1:35protocol and pretending not to notice the victims. Every handshake,
- 1:39every fake smile, every denial, it all reeked of privilege
- 1:42gon rotten. He used the royal crest like a shield,
- 1:46flashing titles instead of truth, and somehow thought the world
- 1:50would keep pretending not to notice. But you can't keep
- 1:53up the scharade forever when your entire reputation smells like
- 1:56cigar smoke, hush money, and bad decisions. And now the
- 2:00bills come due. The monarchy's problem child just got repossessed.
- 2:05Imagine the look on his face when he was told
- 2:07to pack up his precious teddy bears and get out
- 2:10of the royal lodge, the monument to denial, the last
- 2:13fortress of a man allergic to accountability. This is a
- 2:17guy who's been living like a squatter in a palace,
- 2:20refusing to leave while the world's discuss grew louder by
- 2:23the day. No more playing country squire on the public dime,
- 2:27no more pretending to be a royal one. The only
- 2:30thing royal about him is the scandal. Even the palace's
- 2:33pr machine couldn't spin this disaster anymore. They tried everything,
- 2:38the sympathetic interviews, the photo ops, the staged horseback rides,
- 2:43but the truth always broke through. It's like they finally
- 2:47realized you can't polish a dumpster fire, and that no
- 2:49amount of winds or window dressing can disguise rot this
- 2:52deep and look, the fall of Prince Andrew is in tragic,
- 2:56it's overdue. The man built his whole lass life entitlement, arrogance,
- 3:01and an unearned sense of immunity. Every bad headline was
- 3:05someone else's fault. Every scandal a misunderstanding, every consequence a
- 3:10misrepresentation that smugs what he denialed he tried to sell
- 3:14in that BBC interview became his entire legacy. He thought
- 3:18charm could outtalk accountability, but charm doesn't work when the
- 3:22receipts are this ugly. Now he's just a sad reminder
- 3:25of what happens when power shields rot for too long.
- 3:29The titles are gone, the doors are closed, and the
- 3:32mask has finally slipped underneath it all. He's not a duke,
- 3:36not a war hero, not a royal, just a man
- 3:39who sold his soul for proximity to perversion and thought
- 3:42his name would protect him forever. And look, I won't lie.
- 3:47There's something satisfying about watching someone who's dodged accountability this
- 3:50long trip over his own lies. For years, he hid
- 3:54behind Buckingham's walls, convinced that the rules didn't apply to him.
- 3:58But eventually the wall stop protecting him and started closing in.
- 4:02No spin, no ceremony, no redemption arc, just the hollow
- 4:06echo of a fallen prince dragging his bags out of
- 4:09a house he never deserved to live in. Somewhere you
- 4:13can almost hear Epstein laughing from the grave, knowing his
- 4:16favorite royal accessory finally got cut loose. The Prince of
- 4:20Nothing has finally become what he has always been, nothing
- 4:24at all. A man stripped bear, not by cruelty, but
- 4:28by his own arrogance, greed and decay. And for once
- 4:32the monarchy made the right call, even if it came
- 4:35twenty years too late. And now right on cue, here
- 4:39come the apologies, crawling out of the woodwork like clockwork,
- 4:42the same tired cast of royal siccophants, boot liquors and
- 4:46contrarian weirdos who seem to think defending Prince Andrew online
- 4:50is some noble act of rebellion. He's been treated too harshly,
- 4:54They say, he suffered enough. They whine, suffered enough. The
- 4:58man lived in a mansion, ran f or he shielded
- 5:00by tax pair of money, and hid behind palace gates
- 5:03while survivors live with scars he helped deepen. Getting evicted
- 5:07from your luxury lodge isn't suffering. It's finally facing a
- 5:10sliver of consequence after decades of hiding behind titles and
- 5:14tax payer funded privilege. Really, you moronic clowns too harshly?
- 5:18Why don't we play a game a reality check? Would
- 5:21you let him baby see your kids? Would you let
- 5:23your teenage daughter hang out with them unsupervised? I didn't
- 5:26think so. Because deep down even the most delusional royalists
- 5:29knows exactly who this man is. They can't say it
- 5:33out loud, so they dress it up with words like redemption,
- 5:36forgiveness or due process. But come on, spare us the
- 5:40sanctimonious bullshit. This isn't about mob justice. It's about long
- 5:44overdue accountability for a man who's been dodging it since
- 5:48the VHS era. If you find yourself defending Prince Andrew,
- 5:52it might be time to take a long, hard look
- 5:54in the mirror and ask what part of associated with
- 5:57a convicted sex trafficker still isn't clear to you. There's
- 6:01a time to be contrarian, sure, but this ain't it.
- 6:04You don't get points for taking the wrong side of
- 6:06history because you think it makes you edgy or objective.
- 6:09When someone's been accused of participating in the exploitation of miners,
- 6:14it's not really a debate topic. It's a moral line crossing.
- 6:18It doesn't make you enlightened, it makes you complicit in
- 6:20the gaslighting of survivors and bitch, this is in cancel culture.
- 6:24It's consequence culture, and if that makes you uncomfortable, maybe
- 6:28that says more about you than it does about Andrew.
- 6:32Defending this guy doesn't make you fair minded. It makes
- 6:35you a fool with bad taste and worse judgment. And
- 6:38spare us that he's been through enough routine. What he's
- 6:41been through is an embarrassment, public ridicule, the kind of
- 6:44social exile that comes from people finally seeing through your bullshit.
- 6:49It's not punishment, it's just life catching up, bro. The
- 6:52people who actually suffered were the young women whose lives
- 6:55were derailed by men like Epstein and protected by men
- 6:59like Andrew while they were fighting to be believed. He
- 7:02was hiding behind a press statement and a pack of
- 7:04royal lawyers. So no, losing his titles and his mansion
- 7:08is in cruel It's the bare minimum of what justice
- 7:11looks like when you're too rich to go to prison.
- 7:14And if you still think poor Andy deserves sympathy, then
- 7:17go ahead, swap places. Let him live your life for
- 7:19a month, Let him earn a paycheck, pay rent, take
- 7:22the bus, and face real consequences for once. See how
- 7:26quickly the royal arrogance crumbles without a taxpayer funded cushion
- 7:29under it. The world doesn't owe him understanding, compassion, or
- 7:32a comeback tour. What it owes him is silence, distance
- 7:36and the dignity of being forgotten, because the truth is
- 7:39the only thing harsher than how he's been treated is
- 7:42how softly he's been held for far too long. Today's
- 7:47article is from the Deli Mal and the headline boorish
- 7:51and entitled Andrew is now ordinary member of the public.
- 7:55King stripped his brother of prince title and ordered him
- 7:58to leave Royal Lodge after being consistently embarrassed. This article
- 8:03was authored by Eleanor Mann and John Brady. Andrew mount
- 8:08Batten Windsor was arrogant, borish and entitled, and his behavior
- 8:13consistently embarrassed Charles to the point that he had no
- 8:16choice but to excize him from royal life, a confident
- 8:19of the king has claimed. Jonathan Dimbley said he was
- 8:24in no doubt that the monarch has been consistently embarrassed,
- 8:28frustrated by and angry about his brother's behavior. Well, yeah,
- 8:32I can only imagine imagine being the King of England
- 8:37and having this anchor tied around your ankle as you're
- 8:40trying to get the monarchy going in the right direction.
- 8:43And not only that, but you're sick. You have cancer
- 8:46and you're probably on death's doorstep. Let's be real, and
- 8:49this is what your bitch ass, sorry, ass, scumbag brother does.
- 8:53How could anyone have any kind of compassion for Prince Andrew?
- 8:59And I've said it once and I'll say it again.
- 9:01He drove the Queen to her grave and he's going
- 9:03to drive the King to his grave too. Last night,
- 9:07King Charles sensationally stripped Andrew of his prince title and
- 9:11is throwing him out of the royal lodge where he
- 9:13had paid a peppercorn rent for decades, effectively banishing the
- 9:16disgraced dex Duke from royal life for good, I mean
- 9:20better late than never. They could have saved themselves a
- 9:22whole lot of trouble if they would have just jettison
- 9:25this idiot a long time ago. And look, do you
- 9:29really think it's a hoax? If it was a hoax,
- 9:32would it cost Prince Andrew his titles? Would it cost
- 9:35Glenn Dubin his company? Would it make Less Wexner step
- 9:38down from l Brands? What about Leon Black from Apollo?
- 9:42Or how about the fact that the banks paid out
- 9:45what close to half a billion dollars? Does that sound
- 9:48like a hoax to you and the people that want
- 9:51to call little hoax. All they have is some demeaning
- 9:54words about Virginia. Oh well, Virginia misremembered Alan Dershowitz. Hey,
- 10:00what else do you got for me? Is that the
- 10:02only evidence that you're bringing to the table. Because if
- 10:05that's the case, do everybody at favor and take all
- 10:08the seats, because what you're doing is trying to muddy
- 10:12the waters. You have no evidence to back up what
- 10:15you're saying. You have nothing that refutes the stacks of
- 10:19evidence that we have that are public, so they resort
- 10:23to bullshit personal attacks. Right, Oh, she's a liar, she's
- 10:27a prostitute, she's this, that, the other thing. And the
- 10:29reason they do that is because that's what the playbook
- 10:32calls for. But they forgot that this time around. There's
- 10:36a bunch of evidence that points at Prince Andrew being
- 10:40directly in the middle of all of this, and there's
- 10:42no amount of spin, there's no amount of misdirection, and
- 10:45there's certainly no amount of straw man argument you're going
- 10:48to make that's going to change people's perception of what's
- 10:51going on here, because you can save all the bullshit
- 10:54for somebody else. We follow the evidence around these parts
- 10:58wherever that takes us, even if it takes us places
- 11:01that goes against the narrative or against what we think,
- 11:05because what really matters is getting to the bottom of
- 11:08this and unearthing the truth. And a damn good way
- 11:11to do it is to start with accountability for people
- 11:14like Prince Andrew. But it can't stop there. We need
- 11:17to have the same kind of accountability right here in
- 11:19America as well. Now we've seen some people lose jobs,
- 11:22for sure, but there needs to be a robust investigation.
- 11:26And like I've said from the very beginning, that is
- 11:29all I've ever called for. I want them to treat
- 11:32this the same way that they would treat a situation
- 11:34involving their own kids. That's what I want. Is that
- 11:38too much to ask for? And then let the chips
- 11:40fall wherever they may. If people are guilty, they go
- 11:43to jail. If not, maybe they get their names cleared.
- 11:46Isn't that the whole point of what's going on here?
- 11:48Isn't that the whole point of an investigation? The problem
- 11:52is we've never had a real investigation. Have we a
- 11:55culmination of recent revelations, including that Andrew told his friend
- 11:59the file Jeffrey Epstein, that we are in this together,
- 12:03as exclusively revealed by the mail forced Charles's hand. Mister
- 12:07Dimbley told the BBC, well, I would say so. Could
- 12:10there be any doubt of their connections at that point?
- 12:13Could there be any doubt that they were close, that
- 12:15they were friends, that they were doing things together, whatever
- 12:18those things might be. You don't send that kind of
- 12:20email to somebody if you aren't, you know, palin around
- 12:23with them and getting up to some shit. We'll play
- 12:27more later. What in the ever living fuck do you
- 12:30mean by that? I suspect he'll be feeling a measure
- 12:32of relief. He said of Charles, his brother. This is
- 12:36not an easy thing for any brother to do, to
- 12:38be banished eternal imprisonment in a way on Sandringham estate.
- 12:43And I've been saying for years that it's only a
- 12:45matter of time before this dude gets exiled. Once the
- 12:48Queen died, it was only a matter of time before
- 12:50the rest of the family reevaluated Prince Andrew and is
- 12:54worth and how much he was dragging everybody down. And
- 12:59now we know that it's not just the king, but
- 13:01Prince William as well. William's had enough. Bro wants nothing
- 13:06to do with Uncle Touchy, doesn't even want to be
- 13:08his neighbor. He added. We know his brother was boorish, arrogant, entitled,
- 13:14that he made an awful lot of bad friendships, all
- 13:18sorts of questions about how he got his own money.
- 13:20There is a lot that will be discussed if there
- 13:23are further investigations, which I'm sure there will be into
- 13:26Andrew himself. The king himself will be quite separate from that,
- 13:30and more importantly, the institution of the monarchy will be
- 13:33detached from that. Well maybe, but what about all of
- 13:37the protection they gave him previously, What about the fact
- 13:40that they ate it and abetted this scumbag, and they
- 13:44helped him avoid even getting served. That conversation is going
- 13:48to have to be had at some point, because it
- 13:50played a huge part in Prince Andrew and the cover
- 13:52that he received for all these years. The family of
- 13:57Virginia Roberts, who claim to have been trafficked to and
- 14:00made to have sex with Andrew at seventeen, are now
- 14:02calling for him to face justice in the US, where
- 14:06he could potentially be extradited as an ordinary member of
- 14:09the public now that's interesting. Do I think it's going
- 14:13to happen. No, but it's certainly interesting. If Prince Andrew
- 14:18gets charged with something in America, they could start the
- 14:21extradition process. And now that he's been stripped of all
- 14:23of his titles and honorifics, he doesn't have diplomatic community,
- 14:28so that's certainly a new wrinkle. Are they going to
- 14:31be able to exploit it? I don't think so. Remember
- 14:34the investigations closed here in America, So what sort of
- 14:37justice is he going to face? So I have my
- 14:40doubts about Prince Andrew ever come into America to face
- 14:43any kind of justice. Today, the ex Duke of York
- 14:47wakes up as a commoner. Andrew Mountbatten winsor and ministers
- 14:51have suggested that he could be less protected from, for example,
- 14:54demands to testify in America. Haven't been stripped of his
- 14:58royal status one million percent, Like I just said, he
- 15:02loses all of that protection and all of that status.
- 15:05So if there is a prosecutor in America that wants
- 15:09to open a case, certainly a path that can go down.
- 15:12Will they That's another question. Trade Minister Sir Chris Bryant
- 15:16told BBC Breakfast. I think that, just as with any
- 15:20ordinary member of the public, if there were requests from
- 15:23another jurisdiction to this kind, I would expect any decently
- 15:26minded person to comply with that request. He added. What
- 15:30I'm basically saying is that I think that if Andrew
- 15:33was asked to do something by a Senate committee, then
- 15:36I would have thought that he would want to comply. Well, yeah, look,
- 15:39if you're trying to clear your name, don't you want
- 15:41to have your say. Don't you want to have a
- 15:43chance to get up there and defend yourself, your family
- 15:46and your behavior. And that's one of my biggest problems
- 15:49with Prince Andrew. He's never wanted to do that. He
- 15:52thought he was going to glide home in that BBC
- 15:55interview and steamroll Emily Maitliss. Well, Emily Maitliss. She might
- 15:59have softballdom, but she did a good job and she
- 16:03got Prince Andrew basically to admit he's a fucking moron.
- 16:07So please spare me the bullshit about Prince Andrew not
- 16:10being given a chance to have his say. He's been
- 16:13given many chances to have his say, and he's chosen
- 16:16to stay silent. He was able to get away with
- 16:18that before because he was a royal, because he had
- 16:21that shield of immunity, right, not anymore. Now that that's gone,
- 16:26things are different. The question is, does anyone in America
- 16:30have the courage to open an investigation into Prince Andrew?
- 16:35And remember, it could be a staatecase too. It doesn't
- 16:38have to be federal. If Prince Andrew was up to
- 16:41no good in the State of New York, then the
- 16:44State of New York, for all intents and purposes, can
- 16:47investigate what he was doing. And I certainly think that's
- 16:49a possibility, depending on what happens at the federal level,
- 16:53because I have a funny feeling that we have not
- 16:55seen the last of investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. This administration
- 17:01doesn't want to investigate anymore. But this administration isn't gonna
- 17:04be around forever, and this story isn't going anywhere, not
- 17:08until there's finality, not until there's some answers. All right, folks,
- 17:13we're gonna wrap up episode one right here, and in
- 17:16the next episode we're gonna pick up where we left off.
- 17:19All of the information that goes with this episode can
- 17:21be found in the description box what's up, everyone, and
- 17:25welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode,
- 17:29we're gonna pick up where we left off with the
- 17:31Daily Mail article about Prince Andrew getting stripped, and once again,
- 17:37the authors of this article are Eleanor Mann and John
- 17:40Brady Sky. Roberts, the brother of Virginia Roberts, who claimed
- 17:45to have been trafficked to Andrew for sex as a teenager,
- 17:48has warned that there could be more trouble for Andrew
- 17:51as his family's fight for justice was not over yet. No, look,
- 17:56this is just beginning. Now. How far it's gonna go,
- 17:59that's anyone guess. But this fool losing his titles really
- 18:04opens the door for a police probe. And I'm not
- 18:08the only one saying it. That's coming from people like
- 18:11Andrew Lowney, who is a royal biographer. So things are
- 18:16in motion. Where it goes again, that's anybody's guess. But
- 18:20the trouble for Prince Andrew is only just beginning. He
- 18:25told BBC Newsnight. It's not enough. We have to have
- 18:28some kind of investigation that goes further into this. He's
- 18:31still walking around a free man. I commend the King.
- 18:35I think he's doing an amazing job as a world leader,
- 18:37setting a precedent, but we need to take this one
- 18:40step further. He Andrew needs to be behind bars. Well, look,
- 18:45I'll say that we definitely need an investigation one hundred percent,
- 18:49and let's see where the chips fall. Andrew says he's innocent.
- 18:54I'm here to tell you I don't believe him, and
- 18:56I think the evidence is on my side. But more
- 19:00willing to give Prince Andrew, or should I say the
- 19:02art is formally known as Prince Andrew, a chance to
- 19:06defend himself. Everybody deserves a chance to defend themselves. The
- 19:11problem is this piece of shit has avoided doing so
- 19:15for years. So it's not like people don't want to
- 19:17hear what he has to say. He refuses to talk, so,
- 19:21like usual, Prince Andrew has created problems for himself. Nobody's
- 19:25creating these problems for him. Nobody's out to get him.
- 19:28As I've said time and time again, every problem Prince
- 19:31Andrew has he created for himself. He could have lived
- 19:35a great life doing whatever you wanted, with whoever you wanted,
- 19:39whenever you wanted to do it, and if that meant
- 19:42kinky ass sex, with women or whatever. Plenty of people
- 19:46that are down to do it, plenty of people that'll
- 19:48do it consentially. And furthermore, he could have claimed that
- 19:51he was being blackmail by Jeffrey Epstein at any point.
- 19:54He didn't do that. He went down with the ship right.
- 19:57We're going to rise above this together. We're gonna do this.
- 20:00We're going to do that, so spare me the bullshit.
- 20:06Amanda Roberts, Virginia's sister in law, also told Newsnight that
- 20:09she supported the notion of a joint in US UK investigation.
- 20:14I think both countries need to look at collaborating here.
- 20:17The US government holds the key to the larger scope
- 20:20of the Jeffrey Epstein case, she said. The UK is
- 20:23setting an example for what the US should be doing
- 20:26right now, and I would ask that your leaders put
- 20:28that pressure on our leaders to do the right thing. Well,
- 20:33let's be clear, there have been plenty of people who
- 20:36lost their jobs and their livelihoods here in America over
- 20:39their ties to Epstein as well. The problem is there
- 20:42hasn't been any kind of prosecution. People like Glenn Dubin,
- 20:48Leon Black, Les Wexner, They've all lost their positions because
- 20:54of their relationship with Epstein. But I agree that that's
- 20:57not far enough. And when I call for an investigation,
- 21:00I mean a thorough investigation into the financial side of
- 21:03things too, because even if you weren't involved in what
- 21:07Epstein was doing when it comes to physically abusing people,
- 21:11you mean to tell me that these people that were
- 21:13around them, that had their finances intertwined with his, had
- 21:17no idea that he was engaging in a whole host
- 21:19of financial crimes. They knew, and just like with the abuse,
- 21:23they didn't care because they were benefiting. Mister Dimbley has
- 21:27suggested that the King would be unlikely to step in
- 21:30if a request was made by the US to extradite
- 21:34to the US in order to face questions over his
- 21:36alleged behavior. If there is an extradition, it will not
- 21:40have to do with the King himself, he told BBC.
- 21:43One of the proper things to do now is to
- 21:45have it made clear that the ex Prince his brother
- 21:49is beyond the pill. So look, they're doing the whole
- 21:52entire You've been voted off the island routine. Huh, long
- 21:56time coming for Prince Andrew, and he's lucky this is
- 21:58happening now. The old days is fool would have been
- 22:01sent to a leper colony or something. When contacted by
- 22:04the Deli Mail, the Metropolitan Police did not rule out
- 22:07a possible prosecution. Andrew's daughter's Beatrice and Eugenie, fled Britain
- 22:13in the days before their father's final humiliation that finally
- 22:17sees him kicked out a royal lodge where he was
- 22:19said to have a cast iron seventy five year release.
- 22:23The pair, who will retain their titles, were pictured abroad,
- 22:27Beatrice at an investment conference in Ria, Saudi Arabia, and
- 22:31Eugenie snapping selfies with friends in Paris, all while moves
- 22:35began to evict their father back home. Now, look, I
- 22:38try not to drag the kids into it, not really,
- 22:41you know, as sins of their father kind of guy.
- 22:44But there's no doubt that Eugenie and Beatrice have benefited
- 22:48from their father's largesse. But I think it's a step
- 22:50too far to try and blame them for what happened
- 22:53with you know, Virginia or Epstein or anything like that.
- 22:57So I think that all of the anger, all of
- 23:00the ire should be focused directly where it is, Prince Andrew.
- 23:03It's been suggested that Andrew was pressured by Prince William
- 23:07into giving up the residence under threat of having his
- 23:09daughter's titles taken away. Well, hey, the king is the king,
- 23:13right lucky, I'm not the king. I take everything you owned,
- 23:18anything with a windsor family crest on it gone, Anything
- 23:22I bought you gone, Anything that you got from the
- 23:25Crown gone. I'd have Homie driving a fucking cab. Imagine
- 23:29you get off the plane at Heathrow and Prince Andrew's
- 23:32in the cab as your driver. While Andrew has all
- 23:34been cast out from royal life, with no titles, peerages,
- 23:38or even the right to call himself a prince, a
- 23:40royal expert is questioned why he remains eighth in line
- 23:43to the throne. Joe little managing editor of Majesty magazine,
- 23:47said this morning, I'm sure at some point, quite soon
- 23:50somebody will ask, if they have not already done so,
- 23:53why he hasn't been moved from the line of succession. Clearly,
- 23:57it would take a catastrophe for him to become king,
- 23:59give it all those people that are ahead of him.
- 24:02So might it not have been tidier to withdraw his
- 24:04name from the line of succession. I mean that's a
- 24:07legit point. He can't be in the line of succession
- 24:09if he's not considered a royal anymore, if he has
- 24:12no titles, no honorifics. So maybe it's just an oversight
- 24:16and my guess is they'll be addressing that too. Andrew
- 24:21is a Counselor of State who can effectively stand in
- 24:23for the king, but his role has previously been described
- 24:27as an active Mister Little suggested it may have been
- 24:30tidier to remove that role from Andrew's portfolio too. Yesterday,
- 24:35the anti monarchy campaign group Republic said it had instructed
- 24:38lawyers to investigate Andrew and if appropriate, press ahead with
- 24:42a private prosecution. The Deli Mail understands the allegations it's
- 24:47focusing on relate to accusations he sexually assaulted Roberts, that
- 24:52he asked a Royal Protection officer to look into her
- 24:54background and impropriety when he served as an official UK
- 24:58trade envoy. Oh, there's plenty of that. And if an
- 25:02investigations launched into Prince Andrew over impropriety and stealing money
- 25:07or misappropriating it, I think that's a surefire away to
- 25:12get him on something because I have zero doubt that
- 25:16he was misappropriating money. I have zero doubt he was
- 25:20taking money that he wasn't declaring, So tax evasion, you
- 25:24name it, whatever the equivalent is. Over in the UK,
- 25:27Republic said it's mounting its own bid to take him
- 25:30to court because the legal and political response to the
- 25:32claims has been weak and inadequate to date. If not us,
- 25:37then who, asked Graham Smith, the group's CEO, it's a
- 25:40devastating indictment on the UK's criminal justice system, police and
- 25:44politicians not to mention the King and heir that we
- 25:47must resort to private prosecution. Last night, the group said
- 25:51that Andrew's punishment was nowhere near enough, adding that he
- 25:55will be an ordinary person. Ordinary people don't get away
- 25:58with being accused of sexual and that's really what it
- 26:01comes down to for me too. He should be treated
- 26:05like any one of us would be treated. No special favors,
- 26:09no special hookups. Nobody's stepping in for him. Time to
- 26:14answer some questions Dickhead. Andrew's royal biographer, Andrew Lowney, whose
- 26:18forensic biography of the disgraced Duke of York entitled was
- 26:21released last week, has promised that there will be more
- 26:25revelations to come in a new book in the summer.
- 26:28Lownee told The Mail on Sunday that friends of Andrew
- 26:31have come forward in droves to say they are now
- 26:33willing to paint the full picture about his past, and
- 26:36there is a lot of that going on. I've certainly
- 26:39heard some rumors about people that are now willing to
- 26:41talk a lot more about what Prince Andrew was allegedly
- 26:45up to, So we'll see if that comes to fruition.
- 26:50Many are formerly loyal associates who had originally declined to
- 26:53be involved in the book, but have been in bolden
- 26:56to come forward since its publication, and so many now
- 27:00offered to contribute. That the historian who spent four years
- 27:03working Unentitled and interviewed hundreds of people for his research,
- 27:07had been invited by his publisher to produce an updated version.
- 27:11The amazing and astonishing thing that's happened since Entitled came
- 27:15out is that people have come forward in droves with
- 27:17more stories to tell about Prince Andrew. He said, a
- 27:21lot of respectable people who decline to be involved in
- 27:23the book are now coming forward key to unload the
- 27:26secrets they've been keeping. For all these years, and when
- 27:30that damn breaks, boy does it break, there's going to
- 27:33be people coming out of the woodwork with stories about
- 27:35Prince Andrew, mark my words. The Palace said that the
- 27:39censures were deemed necessary amid the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein's scandal
- 27:43the pedophile financier who Andrew lied about cutting ties with It.
- 27:47Comes after The Mail on Sunday exclusively revealed scandalous correspondence
- 27:52where the shun Prince told Epstein were in this together,
- 27:56a day after the infamous picture of the Royal with
- 27:59his alleged then teenage sex victim Virginia Roberts was released.
- 28:04As Andrews links to the disgraced financier continue to bring
- 28:07shame to the Royals. Last night, he finally agreed to
- 28:10surrender his wins Or lease, where he resided with his
- 28:14ex wife Sarah Ferguson for over two decades, paying a
- 28:17peppercorn rent. Sources revealed the former Duchess of York, who
- 28:22has also been embroiled in scandals relating to sex offending Epstein,
- 28:27will make her own arrangements when it comes to her future. Well,
- 28:30wouldn't you know it? Being an adult is fun stuff,
- 28:33isn't it. And let's not act like she's moving into
- 28:36budget suites. Her daughters are loaded, they're married to rich people.
- 28:41I'm sure that Fergie's going to be fine. Plenty of
- 28:43toasuck in coming your way. Fergs, don't worry. His Majesty's
- 28:48younger brother will now be banished to a private property
- 28:51on the monarch Sandringham estate, Norfolk, but no further details
- 28:55have been shared. It's understood Prince William and the royal
- 28:58family fully support the King's decision. Annie Farmer, one of
- 29:03Jeffrey Epstein's earliest accusers who testified in the trial that
- 29:07resulted in the conviction of his longtime aid, Glenne Maxwell,
- 29:11told the BBC longtime aid, you mean co conspirator, right fellow,
- 29:15all around scumbag, child, abuser and the rest of it.
- 29:18That's what you mean, right. Virginia did what most thought impossible.
- 29:24She showed the world that even the most powerful predators
- 29:27can be held accountable one hundred percent. One hundred percent
- 29:31and save the bullshit. I don't want to hear it.
- 29:34If Andrew was innocent, he would have defended himself. He
- 29:37didn't do any of that. A real man would have
- 29:39stood up and said, you know what, not me. You
- 29:41got the wrong ass guy, and here's why. But Prince Andrew,
- 29:45he went and hid behind mummy skirts, went hid behind
- 29:48the walls of Buckingham Palace and avoided any kind of
- 29:51responsibility or even answering any questions asked by investigators or
- 29:57people that were working on the case. So yeah, Prince
- 30:00Andrew straight up coward, Always has been, always will be.
- 30:04Andrew Lowney believes the recent fallout doesn't mark the end
- 30:07of controversy for the Chandroyal. I don't think it's the
- 30:10end of it. I think there are many more disclosures
- 30:13to come, but at least they are taking some decisive action,
- 30:16so I don't think it's all over for him, he
- 30:18told The Mirror when queried if he believes the police
- 30:21probe and Andrew was more likely following yesterday's announcement, he
- 30:25remarked that the ex Duke was being thrown under the bus.
- 30:29One hundred percent that's happening. That's actually a legit criticism.
- 30:34He's definitely getting thrown under the bus. But guess what
- 30:36he earned it. He earned the position he's in. Nobody'll
- 30:40blame but himself, not the King, not the Queen, not
- 30:44the Pope, not the grand mufty, nobody but himself. Yes,
- 30:51I've been saying for some time the royal family is
- 30:54going to throw Andrew under the bus to save themselves,
- 30:57and this is the first indication of that. He added, Well,
- 31:00nobody's bigger than the firm, right, nobody's bigger than the monarchy,
- 31:04and certainly not this goofball Prince Andrew. The Palace is
- 31:09thought to have been spooked by the detailed alegations laid
- 31:11out in the memoir from Prince Andrew's sex abuser, Virginia Roberts,
- 31:16who took her own life this year, age forty one.
- 31:19Miss roberts explosive book, Nobody's Girl, a Memoir of Surviving
- 31:23abuse and Fighting for Justice, was released in this month,
- 31:26with the manuscript having been completed before she died. Inside,
- 31:30she detailed her years that she spent as a sex
- 31:33slave to Epstein In his British Madam Glenn Maxwell Amid
- 31:36claims that she had been trafficked to the ex duke
- 31:40three times, whom she called entitled and viewed sex as
- 31:43his birthright. Within the four hundred page autobiography, she also
- 31:47alleged the ex duke said thank you in a clip
- 31:50British accent after their alleged first encounter when she was seventeen.
- 31:55She also recalled Maxwell praised her following the encounter, saying
- 31:58you did well. The Prince had fun. Andrew denied ever
- 32:01meeting Miss Roberts. In twenty twenty two, he settled the
- 32:05U as civil case she lodged for a reported twelve
- 32:09million pounds, reportedly receiving money from his mother, Queen Elizabeth
- 32:13the IID to help meet the costs. The settlement came
- 32:16with no admission of liability. Yeah, I think the settlement
- 32:19itself was liability, right, I mean, come on, I don't
- 32:24want to beat this dead horse, but nobody's settling for
- 32:26that kind of dough if they're not guilty. I'm sorry,
- 32:29I don't believe it. I just don't believe it because
- 32:32at the end of the day, the embarrassment was still
- 32:35going to come. All this information was still out there.
- 32:38The only thing you can do when you have this
- 32:40kind of allegation, you know, made against you, is stand
- 32:43up to it. If you're innocent, you stand up. You
- 32:46don't go meekly into the night so your daughters look
- 32:50at you as a rapist, so your family looks at
- 32:52you as some kind of degenerate, so the world looks
- 32:54at you as a scumbag. That's what you want to do,
- 32:58and then you have the audacity to cry you didn't
- 33:00have a chance to defend yourself. You had a chance.
- 33:03You chose to buy your way out instead because you
- 33:06didn't want your dirty laundry aired. That's what it comes
- 33:09down to. So anybody who thinks that Prince Andrew just
- 33:12paid out some dough to try and make this go
- 33:15away is either being dishonest or they're stupid, because there's
- 33:20no hay in hell that this was going away even
- 33:23after the settlement. And now these allegations, this story hasn't
- 33:27just come back. It's exploded like a nuclear bomb, and
- 33:30now we're seeing the after effects with this mushroom cloud
- 33:33that's appeared over Prince Andrew and Buckingham Palace. And now
- 33:38in order to mitigate that fallout, they've decided that they
- 33:42have to cut ties completely with Prince Andrew. But the
- 33:45question is is it too little, too late? All right, folks,
- 33:49we're gonna wrap up this episode right here, and in
- 33:52the next episode we're gonna pick up where we left off.
- 33:55All of the information that goes with this episode can
- 33:57be found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and
- 34:01welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode,
- 34:05we're picking up where we left off with the Deli
- 34:08mail article talking about Prince Andrew getting stripped. The authors
- 34:12of this article are Eleanor Mann and John Brady, residents
- 34:16of York long ashamed of their connection with disgraced Andrew
- 34:20will be relieved today. York Central MP Rachel Maskal said
- 34:24the monarchy needed to become more accountable in the wake
- 34:27of the King's decision to strip Andrew Mountbatten Winsor of
- 34:31his titles. Miss Maskell, who introduced a bill in the
- 34:35Commons to make it easier for the King to remove peerages,
- 34:38told the BBC's Today program. I think the world's moved
- 34:41on and we need the monarchy to be accountable by
- 34:44all means, not least to the public. Yeah. Look, they
- 34:48have to be accountable, right to somebody. It's not the
- 34:51old days. And even back in the old days, let's
- 34:54not act like the English king could just do whatever
- 34:57he wanted. That's not how it worked, right. There was
- 35:00a lot of revolutions rebellions. We had different pieces of
- 35:03legislation that were passed in England, like the Magna Carta
- 35:07that really stripped away a lot of power from the king.
- 35:09So there's no doubt that the king has always wielded
- 35:12a lot of power. But when it comes to dealing
- 35:14with other nobles, when it comes to stripping lands and titles,
- 35:18there are certainly some safeguards that are put in place.
- 35:23When we saw eighty percent of the public saying remove
- 35:26those titles, I'm sure there is relief across the country
- 35:29now that it's been done. It's understood earlier this month
- 35:33that Metropolitan Police was actively looking into the claims that
- 35:36Andrew had asked his personal protection officer to investigate Miss Roberts,
- 35:42and that he was interviewed by detectives at his home
- 35:45last week. Well, well, well, shoe on the other foot, huh,
- 35:49And imagine being the detectives. You're like at a Christmas
- 35:52function a few years from now and you're like, hey,
- 35:55I got a story for you. A bombshell email published
- 36:01by The Mail on Sunday earlier this month revealed how
- 36:04Andrew asked his taxpayer funded protection officer to dig into
- 36:08her past two months after the infamous photo of him
- 36:11with Roberts and Maxwell was published by The Mail. Yeah,
- 36:15I didn't know her, but let's do a whole investigation
- 36:18into who she is. Sounds legit, sounds real, believable, an
- 36:23extraordinary message Deed Perkins, Queen Elizabeth's deputy press secretary. He wrote,
- 36:29it would also seems she has a criminal record in
- 36:31the States. I have given her DOB, date of birth
- 36:34and social Security number for investigation with XXX, the on
- 36:39duty PPO Personal protection officer. Imagine this dude is accused
- 36:45of sexually assaulting Virginia and then he has the audacity
- 36:48to try and dig up dirt on her. Keep that
- 36:51shit in mind when you hear somebody talking about Prince
- 36:53Andrew being treated too harshly. Emails between Andrew and Epstein
- 36:57showed the former Duke expressing concern learn about the impact
- 37:01of the newspapers revelations would have on his friend after
- 37:05the infamous picture of the royal with Miss Roberts was released.
- 37:08He reassured the vile billionaire they would rise above press
- 37:11scrutiny in correspondence sent to Epstein twelve weeks after Andrew
- 37:16had supposedly ceased all contact with the convicted sex offender.
- 37:20You know, people want to talk about Virginia and the
- 37:23Alan Dershowitz situation, but what about all the Prince Andrew's lies.
- 37:27We're just going to ignore those. I mean, this guy
- 37:29has never been honest once, not about anything, So please
- 37:33save the bullshit. It provides definitive proof that Andrew lied
- 37:37in his car crash interview with BBC's Newsnight when he
- 37:40claimed that he never had any contact with the disgraced
- 37:43financier after the pair were pictured walking together in New
- 37:47York in December of twenty ten. So again, look, he's
- 37:52a proven liar, just like Gawayne Maxwell. And when you're
- 37:55a proven liar, I have zero desire to listen to
- 37:58anything you're telling me. Why waste my time. If Prince
- 38:02Andrew wants to talk, he should talk to the authorities.
- 38:05Besides that, nobody should listen to anything this man, says
- 38:10Democratic Congressman Sujas Submarinian, who has previously called for Andrew
- 38:15to testify before a US congressional committee about his links
- 38:18to Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell to clear his name.
- 38:21Last Night again urged Andrew to give evidence. It's clear
- 38:26that Prince Andrew has information about Epstein's crimes, and he
- 38:29must do more than just give up titles or hide
- 38:32from the public spotlight. He said, agreed, but the same
- 38:36kind of vigor should be shown here in America for
- 38:39people that are caught up as well. Should only be
- 38:43Prince Andrew. He's not the only one, certainly one of
- 38:46the biggest fish, but not the only one in the pond.
- 38:50So everybody who was involved, from Glenn Dubin to Les
- 38:53Wexner to Leon Black, it should be game time. Every
- 38:57one of them should be on the clock. But we
- 39:00all know that here in America, if you got that
- 39:02kind of dough, that shit's not going to happen. Amy Wallace,
- 39:05co author of Virginia roberts memoir Nobody's Girl, told at
- 39:09BBC Newsnight history was just made by Virginia Roberts. I
- 39:13don't even think that's debatable. Virginia Roberts, for all intents
- 39:18and purposes, took down Prince Andrew. Imagine this man thinking
- 39:21that he was going to get away with that bullshit,
- 39:24that he was never going to have to face any
- 39:25kind of consequence, that he could just demeanor, call her
- 39:28all kinds of names, unleash his hounds and think that
- 39:32it was just going to all work out for him
- 39:34in the end. Breaking news, buddy, you were wrong, and
- 39:39this should be a warning to everybody else out there
- 39:41that was involved, because the heat's coming. And make no mistake,
- 39:46I'm not taking the foot off the gas, and I'm
- 39:48sure nobody else is either. We got a long way
- 39:51to go, folks, until the train of justice reaches the station,
- 39:54but this is certainly a good start. In another world
- 39:57exclusive The Mail on Sunday also exposed the bomb I
- 40:00Shall email, revealing how Andrew's ex wife Fergie cynically lied
- 40:04when she publicly disowned the vile billionaire. It was just
- 40:08weeks after her public statement that she wrote him a
- 40:11gushing private message describing disgraced Epstein as a steadfast, generous
- 40:16and supreme friend, confessing she only distanced herself from him
- 40:20to save her own reputation. Well, she's just saying the
- 40:23quiet part out loud. That's the reason that all of
- 40:26them distanced themselves from Jeffrey Epstein, not because they were
- 40:30disgusted by his vile behavior. They knew what he was doing.
- 40:33They knew what he was They just didn't want to
- 40:36get caught up in the maelstroom. That's it. Now the
- 40:40former Duchess of York will now be known as Plain
- 40:43Sarah Ferguson. Oh how terrible. Plain Sarah Ferguson. Just a
- 40:48regular person. Maybe she can start an OnlyFans that has
- 40:52to do with toast sucking. Following the revelation, Sarah was
- 40:57dropped by seven Charities after humbly apologizing to Epstein after
- 41:01disavowing him amid his conviction for child sexual abuse offenses.
- 41:06The bombshell leaked email show Sarah wrote to the convicted
- 41:09sex offender to humbly apologize in twenty eleven, just weeks
- 41:13after telling the press she had cut all ties with them.
- 41:17In an earlier interview that year, she described her involvement
- 41:20with Epstein, who had served time for soliciting prostitution from
- 41:23a minor, as a gigantic error of judgment. How could you,
- 41:27as an adult hear that and not say to yourself,
- 41:29hold on, something's wrong. How can you solicit a child?
- 41:33They can't consent. There's no soliciting a child, and a
- 41:36child can't be a prostitute. What does that even mean?
- 41:39A spokesperson for Sarah previously said the email was sent
- 41:43to counter and aggressive threat. Epstein had made the sewer
- 41:46for defamation. Oh yeah, that's believable. We all bought into that, Fergie.
- 41:51The series of scandalous emails piled on the pressure for
- 41:54the royal family to sever ties with the ex Yorks,
- 41:57with internal talks beginning after Prince Willi was left seething
- 42:01by his uncle's behavior. At the Duchess of Kent's funeral
- 42:04last month, Andrew was pictured sidling up to the Prince
- 42:08and Princess the Wales, which the heir to the throne
- 42:11saw as him being distracted from the ceremony. Yeah, look, dude,
- 42:16you don't even need to be there, and if you are,
- 42:18why cause a scene. He's like that shitty relative you
- 42:21invite to the wedding and then put him all the
- 42:23way in the back behind the pillar because you know
- 42:25he's going to cause the scene. He's that dude. Number
- 42:30ten has also reportedly been pressuring the royals to deal
- 42:33with the scandal, which has run on for years, and
- 42:36saw Andrew step back from public life in twenty nineteen.
- 42:40The intervention from Downing Street came after the former Prince
- 42:43was entangled in the ongoing Chinese spying row meeting with
- 42:47the spy master at the heart of the collapse China
- 42:50Spy case at least three times. I mean, why not, right,
- 42:54Gaddafi Chinese spies, Jeffrey Epstein, We're talking about a rogue's
- 42:59gallery of scumbay. Andrew already mired in controversy over his
- 43:05friendship with another alleged Beijing spy forger links with Chinese
- 43:08Communist Party Mandarin Kai Kei, with the pair opposing as
- 43:13the celebrated jointly building a golden era in China UK relations.
- 43:17Oh isn't that nice? What that means is China coming
- 43:21in and steamroll on everybody because that's their goal. Prosecutors
- 43:25now believe Kai was presiding over a massive intelligence gathering
- 43:29operation to steal British secrets, overseeing the alleged activities of
- 43:33parliamentary researcher Christopher Cash and China based English teacher Christopher Berry,
- 43:39against whom a case collapsed last month. Politicians have roundly
- 43:43supported King Charles's decision to strip Andrew of all of
- 43:46his titles in Royal Lodge Residents. Liberal Democrat leader Sir
- 43:50Ed Davey said his Majesty is absolutely right. To do so,
- 43:54while Tory leader Kemy Badanoak remarked how the decision must
- 43:59have been very difficult for the king. It's clear that
- 44:02Andrew's position has become totally untenable, having disgraced his office
- 44:06and embarrassed the country. Sir Davey said, well, I can't
- 44:09find anything to dispute there. I mean, at this point,
- 44:12if you look up disgrace in the dictionary, I wouldn't
- 44:14be shocked to see a picture of Andrew. Speaking to LBC,
- 44:20Miss bad Knock said, the standards and expectations in society
- 44:23now are very high. People expect to see the very
- 44:26highest levels of integrity, and I'm afraid the whole Jeffrey
- 44:29Epstein Saga and everyone it is touched, from Prince Andrew
- 44:33to Peter Mandelsson, has just shown that the public has
- 44:36no truck whatsoever with any kind of sexual abuse sexual offenses,
- 44:41especially of miners. And I think that's quite right, Like,
- 44:45how could this even be a topic that is up
- 44:47for discussion. Anybody who's HEARDing kids breaking news should be
- 44:52taken on a ride on a helicopter and thrown directly
- 44:55into a fucking volcano. The leader of the Scottish National
- 45:01Party in Westminster. Stephen Flynn said on BBC Newsnight last night,
- 45:05he is no longer Prince Andrew. He is just but
- 45:08one of us, true fact, regular old person. Now enjoy
- 45:12your time being a regular dude, Prince Andrew and so
- 45:15now the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family finally gets
- 45:18what's coming to him, exile by a viction. Notice, the
- 45:22only difference is Joe Exotic at least owned his crimes.
- 45:25Andrew's still out here acting like he's the victim of
- 45:27bad pr not his own sleazy behavior. The man spent
- 45:31years treating accountability like an optional sport, hiding behind his
- 45:36mother's skirts and pretending a royal crest would scrub away
- 45:39the stink of scandal, But no amount of protocol, privilege
- 45:43or a palace polish could cover up the rot underneath.
- 45:46His whole life has been built on entitlement, and the
- 45:49Crown finally stopped pretending it wasn't. So let's call it
- 45:53what it is. It's not redemption, it's a viction from delusion.
- 45:58The so called Prince has been demoted to what he's
- 46:00always been, a leech with a last name, a man
- 46:03whose moral compass couldn't find North with a map and
- 46:06a flashlight. Every title stripped, every door closed, every shred
- 46:11of false prestige torn away. The world's just catching up
- 46:15to the truth that's been obvious for decades. This man
- 46:18doesn't deserve reverence. He deserves to be remembered as a
- 46:21cautionary tale. And in his delusion, he probably still thinks
- 46:25that he can make a comeback, maybe a tell all
- 46:28memoir called not Sweating It. The life and liesa Prince Andrew.
- 46:31But no pr firm on this planet can resuscitate a
- 46:35reputation that flat lined years ago. You can't rehab a
- 46:38soul that's never had depth to begin with. The damage
- 46:41is permanent, and the laughter, that sharp, cruel laughter that
- 46:45follows his name now is earned. The Windsor Family's resident
- 46:49embarrassment finally ran out of lifelines. He's not a duke,
- 46:52not a hero, not a royal. He's just Andrew, a
- 46:55man with a suitcase full of excuses, dragging his disgrace
- 46:58out of a house that should have I've never had
- 47:00his name on the gate. The monarchy can try to
- 47:02bury this chapter, but the world won't forget the image
- 47:05of the pampered prince who thought he could lie his
- 47:07way past justice, so close the gate behind him, lock,
- 47:11it weld, that shit shut. Let the prince and nothing
- 47:14fit into the obscurity that he's earned, because in the end,
- 47:18even a crown can't say a man who sold out
- 47:20decency for decadence. And now the last royal grifter finally
- 47:24has to live life like the rest of us, without
- 47:27a title, without a shield, and without anyone left a
- 47:30blame but himself. All of the information that goes with
