King Charles Scrambling To Deal With Latest Prince Andrew-Jeffrey Epstein Scandal, as the Pressure Mounts To Strip His Younger Brother of All His Titles

Another day, another ‘Randy Andy’ scandal – but this one is worse.

The Royal Family has been left “exasperated” by the latest revelations to emerge regarding Prince Andrew, as documents demonstrate that he lied to the British people during his BBC ‘train-crash’ interview.

Leaked emails show Andrew told Epstein that they were ‘in this together’ – this was a day after the day after the ‘silver bullet’ picture of him with Virginia Giuffre was published.

Furthermore, the Duke of York manifests his intention to reconnect with the disgraced financier, saying ‘keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!’

GB News reported:

“The Duke of York had previously said he severed all communication with the convicted financier in December 2010. However, newly leaked correspondence appeared to show the Duke writing to Epstein on February 28, 2011.

In the message, Prince Andrew stated they were ‘in this together’ and would need to ‘rise above it’, suggesting ongoing contact between the pair.”

“Royal Family insiders have stated that there is frustration at the lack of further sanctions they can apply to the Duke of York.

An aide told The Sun: ‘There is exasperation and frustration at new revelations and that there is nothing much more that can be done. Everything that can be done has been’.”

‘WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER’: A Day After His Photo With Victim Virginia Giuffre Surfaced, Prince Andrew Wrote Email to Jeffrey Epstein Saying They Would ‘Play Some More Soon’

Barely a week goes by without a new Epstein-linked revelation hurting even more of Andrew’s battered reputation.

On February 27, 2011, the British paper Mail on Sunday published the infamous picture of Prince Andrew with late Jeffrey Epstein’s victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell in her Belgravia home in London.

A day later, Andrew secretly wrote pedophile Epstein ‘we are in this together, according to a previously unreleased bombshell email.

Daily Mail reported:

“In the astonishing message, Andrew said he was ‘concerned’ about the impact this newspaper’s revelations would have on his friend, but reassured the vile billionaire that the pair would ‘rise above’ press scrutiny.”

This message was sent to Epstein three months after Andrew alleged to have ceased all contact with the convicted sex offender.

“The leaked email provides definitive proof that the Duke lied in his interview with BBC’s Newsnight when he claimed he ‘never had any contact’ with Epstein after the pair were famously pictured walking together in New York’s Central Park in December 2010.”

The damaging email has generated further pressure on the Windsor Royal Family to sever all ties with Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

“’I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!’”

In his ‘train-wreck’ BBC Newsnight interview in 2019, Andrew also suggested the picture with Giuffre was a ‘crude forgery’ but in his email sent a day after the release of the photograph, the Duke did not question its authenticity.

Prince Andrew could be banned from shooting on royal estates after bombshell email contradicted his claim to have cut off Jeffrey Epstein

Prince Andrew could be banned from fun activities such as shooting on royal estates after a bombshell email contradicted his claim to have cut off all contact with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 

As calls mounted for Andrew to be stripped of his title of Duke of York, royal insiders revealed that stopping the exclusive gatherings was one option being considered.

It comes after the Mail on Sunday revealed a deeply damaging message he sent to the US financier telling him ‘we are in this together’ a day after the paper first published the notorious picture of the Duke with his alleged teenage sex victim.

Andrew told Epstein in February 2011 he was ‘concerned’ about the impact the revelations would have on his friend, but reassured the vile billionaire that the pair would ‘rise above’ press scrutiny.

It finally disproves the Duke’s claim in his now-infamous interview with BBC‘s Newsnight that he ‘never had any contact’ with Epstein after the pair were pictured walking together in New York’s Central Park in December 2010.

Just last month the MoS exposed how the Duchess of York wrote Epstein a gushing message calling him her ‘supreme friend’ – despite telling journalists she would never have anything to do with him again.

The furore has once again raised questions about Andrew’s role and lifestyle after he was stripped of his royal duties and use of his HRH title by the late Queen.

Now sources have told the Daily Mail that one option being considered is to stop him from hosting shooting parties on royal estates.

Andrew was pictured hosting one at Windsor in January 2024 – days after humiliating new court documents relating to Epstein reportedly caused the Duke to ‘lock himself away in a room’.

He continues to live at his 30-room Royal Lodge mansion there despite repeated calls for him to be removed.

However it is understood that the Duke and Duchess of York will not be welcome at the Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations at Sandringham.

A YouGov poll over the summer found two-thirds of people favoured stripping Andrew of his remaining titles.

However a private members’ bill proposed by York Central MP Rachael Maskell to give the Monarch the powers to do so ran out of time before the general election.

Yesterday the Labour backbencher renewed her call for the link between the city and the disgraced Duke to be severed.

‘The tragedy is that victims and survivors suffer every day and every time new revelations are made about this horrendous web of abuse and those associated with Mr Epstein,’ Ms Maskell told the Daily Mail.

‘Honesty and candour seems to be absent in so many people’s accounts, furthering the trauma of those who have suffered.

Prince Andrew Mentioned in More Epstein Documents, Flying in the ‘Lolita Express’ and Getting ‘Massages’

Disgraced ‘Randy Andy’ is in a tight spot – again.

Another week, another Jeffrey Epstein-related scandal involving the Duke of York, Prince Andrew.

After days filled with scandals involving his live-in ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, that led her to lose patronage in 7 charities, now Andrew is back to the spotlight.

Documents released by the US House Oversight Committee show that he has enjoyed luxury travel on Epstein’s private jet, the ‘Lolita Express’, and documents reveal he had ‘massages’ paid for.

Andrew as a listed passenger on a flight from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach in Florida, along with Ghislaine Maxwell and two redacted names – presumably victims.

Daily Mail reported:

“The flight is documented to have taken place on May 12, 2000 and the name Andrew appears again in the flight logs on May 16, 2002.

He was also documented to have enjoyed a $200 massage, including exercise and yoga. The massage sessions Epstein frequently partook in at his Palm Beach home became notoriously used to abuse minors and young girls, forcing them into sex acts.

Several of his victims have testified that they were paid around $200 per massage session.”

Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in new Epstein files

Billionaire Elon Musk and Prince Andrew are named in new files released by Congressional Democrats that relate to the late convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The files turned over to the House Oversight Committee by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate appear to show that Musk had been invited to Epstein’s island in December 2014.

Separately a manifest for a flight from New Jersey to Florida in May 2000 names Prince Andrew among the passengers.

Musk and Prince Andrew have been approached for comment.

Prince Andrew has previously strenuously denied any wrongdoing. Musk has previously been quoted as saying that Epstein had invited him to the island but he had declined.

The partial records are from the third batch of documents produced by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee say they include phone message logs, copies of flight logs and manifests for aircrafts, copies of financial ledgers and Epstein’s daily schedule.

In addition to Musk and Prince Andrew, the files released publicly also contain the names of other prominent figures including internet entrepreneur Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon, a former advisor to Donald Trump

One line in the records dated 6 December 2014 reads: “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)”

A flight manifest records that Prince Andrew was on a flight with Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell from Teterboro, New Jersey, to West Palm Beach, Florida, on 12 May 2000. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of conspiring with Epstein to traffic girls for sex.

On 11 May 2000, Buckingham Palace said on its website that Prince Andrew had flown to New York to attend a reception in New York for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Andrew returned to the UK on 15 May, a later entry said.

Revealed: 100 new Epstein emails ‘that could destroy’ Prince Andrew: Cache of ‘devastating’ messages between the Duke and convicted paedophile unearthed in US probe

Prince Andrew could be ‘destroyed’ by a cache of more than 100 secret emails contained in the Epstein Files, The Mail on Sunday has been told.

Multiple well-placed sources have revealed that potentially ‘incriminating’ emails between the Duke of York and the convicted paedophile are contained in hundreds of thousands of documents currently being reviewed by the US Congress before they are made public.

One source said: ‘If you think what’s happened to Peter Mandelson is bad then you have no idea what will happen when the Andrew emails are released. They are embarrassing and incriminating and he could be destroyed.’

Lord Mandelson was fired as British ambassador to Washington last week after a string of embarrassing emails between himself and Epstein were released. 

In one, ‘Petie’ urged the billionaire to fight back against his conviction for soliciting a child for prostitution. 

David Boies, the high-powered lawyer who represented Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre, says he believes there is enough evidence to open a criminal investigation into the prince.

Andrew vehemently and consistently denied Ms Giuffre’s claims that she was sex-trafficked to him by Epstein. 

In 2022, the duke reached a reported £12 million civil settlement with Ms Giuffre – who committed suicide earlier this year – with no admission of guilt.

Several embarrassing emails between Andrew and Epstein have already been revealed in legal papers over the years, including one in which the prince said: ‘Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!’

That email, from February 2011, was unearthed in court documents from a case brought by the Financial Conduct Authority against Epstein’s personal banker Jes Staley.

Legal documents said the email was sent ‘by a member of the British Royal Family’, which the BBC and others widely reported was Prince Andrew.

When Ms Giuffre, previously known as Virginia Roberts, first made claims against the duke he fired off an email to his close friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was subsequently jailed for her role as a child sex trafficker for Epstein. 

In the message, sent on January 3, 2015, he said: ‘Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.’

Maxwell replied: ‘Have some info. Call me when you have a moment.’

The MoS understands that there are ‘at least’ 100 emails involving Andrew contained within the Epstein files. 

Some come from an account with Pipex, one of the UK’s first commercial internet providers. That email address is listed alongside multiple phone numbers for the duke found in Epstein’s infamous ‘little black book’.

Three years on, the ‘significant sum’ paid out by Prince Andrew has still not reached accuser Virginia Giuffre’s charity  

The money Prince Andrew gave his accuser’s charity still hasn’t been paid to the organisation three years after their settlement, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. 

The ‘significant’ sum – which is thought to be in the millions – has yet to be sent to Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR) which was founded by Virginia Giuffre.

The Duke of York agreed to pay the money following his £10 million agreement with Ms Giuffre in February 2022 to settle the sexual battery lawsuit she filed against him.

He always denied her claims and insists the settlement was not an admission of wrongdoing. 

But SOAR has yet to formally launch as a non-profit group, and its predecessor, Victims Refuse Silence, lost its charitable status in 2023. 

A source said the money would get to SOAR ‘eventually’.

Ms Giuffre, who took her life in April at 41, accused the duke of having sex with her three times when she was 17 after she was trafficked by paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The money was a key to Ms Giuffre’s hopes to become a global campaigner for victims of sexual abuse.

 Instead, Victims Refuse Silence, which was active when she got the settlement, is defunct and had its charitable status revoked by America’s Internal Revenue Service in 2023 for failing to file tax returns.

SOAR’s website went online after the arrest and suicide of Epstein in 2019, but no US company records exist for it, nor is it registered with the IRS as a non-profit group. 

A source close to Ms Giuffre said the duke’s money had not been spent, but would not say where it was.

The state of Ms Giuffre’s finances were revealed during the probate of her estate in Perth, western Australia, where she lived.

She died without a will, meaning it could take years before her estate is distributed, potentially further delaying the payment.

Her family also want SOAR to get the proceeds from her memoir, due out in October. But that could be in doubt as it is not yet a non-profit.

Another source said: ‘The sad thing is that this money has not gone to help victims. The money is in legal limbo. With the mess Virginia’s death left, it’s likely to remain in limbo for a long time.’

Ms Giuffre’s family did not reply to requests to comment.

Ghislaine Maxwell Says Lady Rothschild Introduced Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein – Philanthropist Also Introduced Disgraced Financier to Alan Dershowitz and Bill Clinton

The two-day interview of Ghislaine Maxwell with the DOJ continues generating headlines.

After the complete audio recordings and transcriptions of the interviews have been released, many nuggets of information have called the attention of the press and the public, including the relationship between the late convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein and a world-famous British-American philanthropist.

During questioning by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Ghislaine Maxwell denied introducing Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein, and said the two of them met for the first time at the holiday home Lady Lynn Forrester de Rothschild.

The Telegraph reported:

“’First of all, let’s just state, I did not introduce him [Epstein] to Prince Andrew. I did not introduce him to Prince Andrew or to Sarah Ferguson. That is a flat untruth. I’ll start with that’, Maxwell said over nine hours of interviews over two days in July.”

Lady de Rothschild was born in New Jersey, and is a telecommunications businesswoman turned investor, today chairing EL Rothschild, a wealth management firm which has The Economist Group in its portfolio.

“’She had a house or she rented a house in the Vineyard. I think it was in the Vineyard or Nantucket, I can’t remember now which one it was’, Maxwell told Todd Blanche, deputy attorney-general and a former personal lawyer for Donald Trump.

‘It was one of those. It was either in Nantucket or the Vineyard, and invited Epstein to go, and I believe that’s when he met Prince Andrew’.”

Prince Andrew free to travel abroad as FBI ends probe into royal’s Jeffrey Epstein links

Prince Andrew can finally end his self-imposed travel ban after a leaked memo revealed that the FBI is closing its investigation into the royal’s Jeffrey Epstein links.

The disgraced Duke of York, 65, has left the UK once in the last six years over fears of an arrest, civil lawsuits or being subpoenaed.

Now, it appears as though the scandal-scarred prince — who has been kept at arm’s length from the royal fold — is able to venture out of the UK without fear of repercussions.

“He has been abroad once since the scandal erupted,” a source alleged to the Sun.

“He has always been very nervous about going abroad and felt he’d always be looking over his shoulder as he could be subject to civil action or at worst, being arrested.”

Canadian Liberal PM Mark Carney Under Fire for Resurfaced Ties to Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew

Labour leader and Canadian Prime Minister has entered a troubling phase in his new political career.

Since the Former Bank of England head dissolved the Parliament and called snap elections, it’s one scandal after another.

Mere days after Carney was accused of plagiarizing his doctoral thesis in Oxford University, he is now getting heckled over his links to Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Economic Times reported:

“During a campaign event, Prime Minister Mark Carney was interrupted by a heckler who shouted, ‘How many kids did you molest with Jeffrey Epstein?’ The question left Carney visibly stunned. Security swiftly removed the heckler, but a video of the moment soon went viral.”

This comes as a picture has surfaced of Carney with Ghislaine Maxwell in a music festival back in 2013.

Needless to say, a picture with Maxwell does not a sex-trafficker make – but citizens have started digging on Carney’s history.
