Andrew Excluded From Major Royal Ceremony as Isolation Deepens (6/17/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. One of the most important things for Prince
• 0:07
  Andrew has always been his status, and that's because he
• 0:11
  knew that that was the vehicle to get him where
• 0:13
  he wanted to go, and he had no problem using
• 0:16
  that status to do exactly that. And of all the
• 0:19
  people that have faced repercussions over Jeffrey Epstein and their
• 0:23
  relationship with him, I think that Prince Andrew has probably
• 0:27
  suffered the most, and that's because he's lost all these
• 0:31
  prestigious titles and he's not even a prince anymore. So
• 0:35
  if anybody has faced repercussions, it's been Prince Andrew. And
• 0:40
  I think one of the biggest blows to him is
• 0:42
  the fact that he's been uninvited from every single family event.
• 0:47
  This dude's not invited over for anything, whether it's Christmas
• 0:52
  or the Order of the Garter ceremony. So today we
• 0:56
  have an article from LBC and the headline Andrew bat
• 1:00
  Windsor has been left feeling more isolated than ever after
• 1:03
  his exclusion from a major royal event. Imagine all the
• 1:08
  allegations that have been made against Andrew, and that's what
• 1:11
  he's worried about not being invited for tea and crumpets.
• 1:16
  The King and Queen and Prince William Don black velvet
• 1:19
  ostrich plumed hats and robes on Monday as they process
• 1:23
  through the grounds outside Windsor Castle for the ancient Order
• 1:26
  of the Garter ceremony. All this pomp and circumstance that
• 1:30
  happens with the monarchy is very odd to me, Like
• 1:35
  the Order of the Garter. I mean, maybe back in
• 1:38
  the year like sixteen twelve or some shit, that's cool,
• 1:42
  but I really just don't see the relevance in current times, unless,
• 1:46
  of course you're talking about dress up time for a
• 1:49
  bunch of rich, well to do people and royals. I mean,
• 1:54
  I guess it makes sense then, but I think that
• 1:56
  most outside observers think it's a waste of money and
• 1:59
  a waste of time. Absent from the procession was a
• 2:03
  disgraced former Duke of York who was stripped of his
• 2:06
  Order of the Garter on our last October over his
• 2:09
  links to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A source told
• 2:13
  the Delhi Express that Garter Day would be a really
• 2:15
  tough day for Andrew. They said he's become used to
• 2:18
  watching his family celebrate trooping without him, but Garter Day
• 2:22
  will be a really tough day for him. It's one
• 2:24
  of the days that reminds him of all that he's lost.
• 2:28
  He's feeling more isolated than ever. He's completely alone, breaking news,
• 2:32
  nobody cares. If anybody has earned their fate, it's this dude.
• 2:38
  Of all the people we talk about. I know I've
• 2:40
  said up before, but I'll say it again. Andrew sickens
• 2:43
  me the most. This man had the whole entire world
• 2:46
  handed up to him from the time he was born.
• 2:48
  He could have done anything with his life, and this
• 2:51
  is what he chose. So I don't give a damn
• 2:54
  if you feel isolated. If it was up to me,
• 2:57
  you'd be shipped off to Antarctica. The disgraced royal, who
• 3:01
  became a member of the Order in two thousand and six,
• 3:04
  had previously joined in the festivities and procession. Last year,
• 3:07
  he attended the non public pre ceremony lunch, but he
• 3:11
  has now been removed from the Order. Well, yeah, when
• 3:15
  you're this disgraced, what are you supposed to do? Like?
• 3:17
  Should the King and the royal family just ignore it
• 3:20
  like they did for all the years leading up to this,
• 3:23
  because I assure you that's why they're in the position
• 3:26
  that they're in now. If they would have just met
• 3:29
  this head on and thrown Andrew to the wolves where
• 3:32
  he belonged, then they would have avoided all of this
• 3:35
  and the Queen's legacy would be intact. But unfortunately it's not.
• 3:40
  And anybody who's a neutral observer who looks at how
• 3:43
  this all went down can't help but walk away and say, look,
• 3:46
  the Queen was that fault. She protected them, she enabled them,
• 3:52
  and she could have made sure that Andrew did the
• 3:54
  right thing instead, but she didn't. So now her legacy
• 3:57
  is being dragged down by this anchor known as Andrew.
• 4:02
  So yeah, your bitch ass should be removed from every order.
• 4:05
  In fact, they should send his ass to the space station.
• 4:09
  It's believed that this is the first year that Andrew
• 4:11
  has not attended in any capacity at all. I mean,
• 4:14
  he was just arrested. There's a lot going on as
• 4:17
  far as his own case and the investigation in the UK,
• 4:21
  never mind what's going on in America. So there was
• 4:23
  zero shot that he was going to this thing at all,
• 4:26
  privately or publicly. His complete exclusion comes after the King
• 4:33
  took away all of his remaining titles last year, along
• 4:36
  with his royal title Prince and Duke of York, as
• 4:39
  controversy mounted over his links with Jeffrey Epstein. And I
• 4:43
  know we all want to give Charles credit for doing
• 4:45
  what he's done, but he's had no choice. Do you
• 4:48
  really think he wants to do this? Do you think
• 4:51
  he wants to deal with Andrew in any capacity whatsoever?
• 4:55
  But he has to and his hand is forced. But
• 4:59
  for the royal family, the best scenario would have been
• 5:01
  for all of this to continue to be whitewashed and downplayed.
• 5:06
  That was the strategy up until recently, up until these
• 5:08
  files were released and absolutely destroyed their narrative. But leading
• 5:13
  up to that, forget it. The Palace had nothing to say.
• 5:17
  The Palace had no kind of plan to deal with
• 5:21
  what was happening. And now the Queen has just passed
• 5:23
  the buck to King Charles, and we all know he's
• 5:28
  not equipped to deal with this. The dude is old
• 5:31
  and he has cancer, never mind all the other issues
• 5:34
  going on. Andrew's now living in Norfolk while police investigate
• 5:40
  allegations of misconduct in public office. He was arrested on
• 5:43
  suspicion of misconduct and public office in February and then
• 5:46
  released under investigation. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Well, yeah,
• 5:54
  what's he gonna do? Admit it? Wep You guys got me. Shucks,
• 5:58
  I'm caught. Everything you said about me, he's true. All
• 6:02
  the rumors about Epstein, those are true. What Virginia said,
• 6:05
  that's true. I mean, come on, he's not gonna say
• 6:09
  a damn thing. I think he learned his lesson with
• 6:13
  that dumbass interview on BBC with Emily Maitliss. Probably the
• 6:18
  worst decision somebody has ever made. Imagine being as guilty
• 6:22
  as Andrew looks. And then you go up there and
• 6:25
  you have this interview on BBC and you're talking about kits,
• 6:29
  you're talking about pizza joints, you're talking about not sweating,
• 6:35
  and then, as the cherry on top, you leave that
• 6:38
  interview thinking you did a great job. Oh yeah, things
• 6:41
  went great. I'm a great guy. Everybody's gonna believe my story. Meanwhile,
• 6:47
  nobody believed it. And after we all picked our jaws up,
• 6:50
  we let him know. But this bumbling fool thought he
• 6:54
  did a great job and thought that the idea of
• 6:56
  sitting down for that interview was top notch. Well guess what,
• 7:01
  Just like everything else that this man touched, it turned
• 7:04
  to shit. He was last seen at the weekend, just
• 7:09
  hours before the King's official birthday parade, Trooping the Color,
• 7:12
  took place in London. The Order of the Garter, founded
• 7:15
  by Edward the Third in thirteen forty eight, is the
• 7:18
  oldest chivalry order in Britain. I mean cool. I love
• 7:23
  the history, and I certainly love medieval English history. Some
• 7:28
  of the coolest shit in the world. I mean, you
• 7:31
  got the War of the Roses, you have the conquest
• 7:34
  from William the Conqueror, you know, just a whole host
• 7:38
  of world changing events. And I really find the history
• 7:41
  of England to be super fascinating, one of my favorite topics.
• 7:45
  But with that said, all these different orders and all
• 7:48
  of these different you know, groups that they have, it's
• 7:51
  all outdated. Now. The flip side of that argument is
• 7:54
  that it's about tradition, and there is a valid argument
• 7:57
  to be made there as well. Hundred percent. Tradition is important,
• 8:02
  but so as holding people like Andrew accountable when they
• 8:05
  should be held accountable. Thousands of spectators gathered to watch
• 8:10
  the procession, which saw the Knights of the Order of
• 8:12
  the Garter walk down to Saint George's Chapel after their
• 8:15
  annual lunch. Among those in the procession were the King
• 8:18
  and the Queen, traditionally at the rear of the knights,
• 8:21
  while further ahead was the Prince of Wales, Duke of
• 8:24
  Edinburgh and Princess Royal. The King, who is Sovereign of
• 8:28
  the Garter, personally chooses twenty four companions who have held
• 8:32
  public office, contributed in a particular way to national life,
• 8:36
  or serve the monarch personally. So all of his buddies
• 8:41
  got it. The big ass club, folks, and you are
• 8:44
  not invited. Other Garter Knights included former Prime Minister Sir
• 8:49
  Tony Blair, Lord Patten, the last British Governor of Hong Kong,
• 8:53
  and West End musical impressario Lord Lloyd Webber, all in
• 8:58
  their blue velvet mantle and black velvet hats with white
• 9:02
  ostrich plumes. I'm pretty sure people that are starving in
• 9:05
  the UK don't give a shit, People that can't pay
• 9:08
  their bills don't give a shit. And people being targeted
• 9:12
  by grooming gangs, sure they don't give a shit. But
• 9:15
  sure have fun with your little costume party. During the
• 9:19
  Saint George service, three new Garter Knights were invested, historian
• 9:23
  and former journalist Lord Peter Hennessy, ex Cabinet Secretary and
• 9:27
  Head of Civil Service, Lord Gus O'Donnell, and former Chief
• 9:30
  Justice Lord Ian Burnett. So look, as far as Andrew goes,
• 9:35
  there's no way that he's going to be invited to
• 9:36
  any of this stuff ever again. And when you want
• 9:39
  to talk about people that are being punished, Andrew most
• 9:42
  certainly is being punished. Now. It's not what it should be,
• 9:46
  especially if you believe that what Virginia was saying is true.
• 9:50
  But at least there are some kind of repercussions, and
• 9:53
  if you want the truth, I thought Andrew would be
• 9:56
  the last person to be dealing with them. I always
• 9:59
  thought that Anne Andrew would come out of this pretty
• 10:01
  much unscathed. Oh sure, his reputation took a hit, but
• 10:05
  besides that, I didn't think that Andrew would end up
• 10:08
  facing any real consequence. Certainly never thought i'd see him
• 10:11
  get arrested. So who knows what will happen next. We
• 10:15
  know that the investigation has expanded, and we know that
• 10:17
  the investigators are looking for a whole host of crimes,
• 10:20
  whether that has to do with public corruption or anything else.
• 10:24
  If there's anything to find, I think they'll find it.
• 10:27
  But you know what I'm sure of, I'm sure that
• 10:29
  Prince Andrew's days of playing dress up and LARPing around
• 10:33
  like some great night are long over. And if anybody
• 10:37
  has earned their fate, it's certainly the Joe Exotic of
• 10:41
  the Windsor family. All the information that goes with this
