Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up
where we left off with the Daily Mail article about
Prince Andrew getting stripped, and once again, the authors of
this article are Eleanor Mann and John Brady Sky. Roberts,
the brother of Virginia Roberts, who claimed to have been
trafficked to Andrew for sex as a teenager, has warned
that there could be more trouble for Andrew as his
family's fight for justice was not over yet. No, look,
this is just beginning. Now. How far it's gonna go,
that's anyone's guess. But this fool losing his titles really
opens the door for a police probe. And I'm not
the only one saying it. That's coming from people like
Andrew Lowney, who is a royal biographer. So things are
in motion. Where it goes again, that's anybody's guess. But
the trouble for Prince Andrew is only just beginning. He
told BBC Newsnight. It's not enough. We have to have
some kind of investigation that goes further into this. He's
still walking around a free man. I commend the King.
I think he's doing an amazing job as a world leader,
setting a precedent, but we need to take this one
step further. He Andrew needs to be behind bars. Well, look,
I'll say that we definitely need an investigation one hundred percent,
and let's see where the chips fall. Andrew says he's innocent.
I'm here to tell you I don't believe him, and
I think the evidence is on my side. But I'm
more than willing to give Prince Andrew, or should I
say the art is formally known as Prince Andrew, a
chance to defend himself. Everybody deserves a chance to defend themselves.
The problem is this piece of shit has avoided doing
so for years. So it's not like people don't want
to hear what he has to say. He refuses to talk, so,
like usual, Prince Andrew has created problems for himself. Nobody's
creating these problems for him, Nobody's out to get them.
As I've said time and time again, every problem Prince
Andrew has he created for himself. He could have lived
a great life doing whatever you wanted, with whoever you wanted,
whenever you wanted to do it, and if that meant
kinky ass sex with women or whatever. Plenty of people
that are down to do it, plenty of people that'll
do it consensually. And furthermore, he could have claimed that
he was being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein at any point.
He didn't do that. He went down with the ship right.
We're going to rise above this together. We're going to
do this. We're going to do that, so spare me
the bullshit. Amanda Roberts, Virginia's sister in law, also told
Newsnight that she supported the notion of a joint in
US UK investigation. I think both countries need to look
at collaborating here. The US government holds the key to
the larger scope of the Jeffrey Epstein case, she said.
The UK is setting an example for what the US
should be doing right now, and I would ask that
your leaders put that pressure on our leaders to do
the right thing. Well, let's be clear, there have been
plenty of people who lost their jobs and their livelihoods
here in America over their ties to Epstein as well.
The problem is there hasn't been any kind of prosecution.
People like Glenn Dubin, Leon Black, Les Wexner, They've all
lost their positions because of their relationship with Epstein. But
I agree that that's not far enough. And when I
call for an investigation, I mean a thorough investigation into
the financial side of things too, because even if you
weren't involved in what Epstein was doing when it comes
to physically abusing people, You mean to tell me that
these people that were around them, that had their finances
intertwined with his, had no idea that he was engaging
in a whole host of financial crimes. They knew, and
just like with the abuse, they didn't care because they
were benefiting. Mister Dimbley has suggested that the King would
be unlikely to step in if a request was made
by the US to extradite to the US in order
to face questions over his alleged behavior. If there is
an extradition, it will not have to do with the
King himself, he told BBC. One of the proper things
to do now is to have it made clear that
the ex Prince his brother is beyond the pill. So look,
they're doing the whole entire You've been voted off the
island routine. Huh, long time coming for Prince Andrew, and
he's lucky this is happening now. In the old days,
this fool would have been sent to a leper colony
or something. When contacted by the Delhi Mail, the Metropolitan
Police did not rule out a possible prosecution. Andrew's daughter's
Beatrice and Eugenie, fled Britain in the days before their
father's final humiliation that finally sees him kicked out a
royal lodge where he was said to have a cast
iron seventy five year release. The who will retain their
titles were pictured abroad, Beatrice at an investment conference in Riad,
Saudi Arabia, and Eugenie snapping selfies with friends in Paris,
all while moves began to evict their father back home. Now, look,
I try not to drag the kids into it, not really,
you know, a sins of their father kind of guy.
But there's no doubt that Eugenie and Beatrice have benefited
from their father's largesse. But I think it's a step
too far to try and blame them for what happened
with you know, Virginia or Epstein or anything like that.
So I think that all of the anger, all of
the ire should be focused directly where it is. Prince Andrew.
It's been suggested that Andrew was pressured by Prince William
into giving up the residence under threat of having his
daughter's titles taken away. Well, hey, the king is the king,
right lucky, I'm not the king. I take everything you owned,
anything with a windsor family crest on it gone, Anything
I bought you gone, Anything you got from the Crown gone.
I'd have Homie driving a fucking cab. Imagine you get
off the plane at Heathrow and Prince Andrew's in the
cab as your driver. While Andrew has all been cast
out from royal life, with no titles, peerages, or even
the right to call himself a prince, a royal expert
is questioned why he remains eighthan line to the throne.
Joe little managing editor of Majesty magazine, said this morning,
I'm sure at some point quite soon somebody will ask,
if they have not already done so, why he hasn't
been moved from the line of succession. Clearly, it would
take a catastrophe for him to become king, giving all
those people that are ahead of him, So might it
not have been tidier to withdraw his name from the
line of succession. I mean that's a legit point. He
can't be in the line of succession if he's not
considered a royal anymore, if he has no titles, no honorifics.
So maybe it's just an oversight and my guess is
they'll be addressing that too. Andrew is a Counselor of
State who can effectively stand in for the king, but
his role has previously been described as an active. Mister
Little suggested it may have been tidier to remove that
role from Andrew's portfolio too. Yesterday, the anti monarchy campaign
group Republic said it had instructed lawyers to investigate Andrew
and if appropriate, press ahead with a private prosecution. The
Deli Mail understands the allegations it's focusing on relate to
accusations he sexually assaulted Roberts, that he asked a Royal
Protection officer to look into her background and impropriety when
he served as an official UK trade envoy. Oh, there's
plenty of that. And if an investigations launched into Prince
Andrew over impropriety and stealing money or misappropriating it, I
think that's a surefire away to get him on something
because I have zero doubt that he was misappropriating money.
I have zero doubt he was taking money that he
wasn't declaring, So tax of as you name it, whatever
the equivalent is. Over in the UK, Republic said it's
mounting its own bid to take him to court because
the legal and political response to the claims has been
weak and inadequate to date. If not us, then who,
asked Graham Smith, the group's CEO, it's a devastating indictment
on the UK's criminal justice system, police and politicians not
to mention the King and heir that we must resort
to private prosecution. Last night, the group said that Andrew's
punishment was nowhere near enough, adding that he will be
an ordinary person. Ordinary people don't get away with being
accused of sexual abuse and that's really what it comes
down to for me too. He should be treated like
any one of us would be treated, No special favors,
no special hookups. Nobody's stepping in for him. Time to
answer some questions Dickhead. Andrew's royal biographer, Andrew Lowney, whose
forensic biography of the disgraced Duke of York entitled was
released last week, has promised that there will be more
revelations to come in a new book in the summer.
Lowney told The Mail on Sunday that friends of Andrew
have come forward in droves to say they are now
willing to paint the full picture about his past, and
there is a lot of that going on. I've certainly
heard some rumors about people that are now willing to
talk a lot more about what Prince Andrew was allegedly
up to, So we'll see if that comes to fruition.
Many are formerly loyal associates who had originally declined to
be involved in the book, but have been emboldened to
come forward since its publication, and so many have now
offered to contribute that the historian, who spent four years
working Unentitled and interviewed hundreds of people for his research,
had been invited by his publisher to produce an updated version.
The amazing and astonishing thing that's happened since Entitled came
out is that people have come forward in droves with
more stories to tell about Prince Andrew. He said, a
lot of respectable people who decline to be involved in
the book book are now coming forward key to unload
the secrets they've been keeping for all these years. And
when that damn breaks, boy does it break, there's going
to be people coming out of the woodwork with stories
about Prince Andrew, mark my words. The Palace said that
the censures were deemed necessary amid the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein's
scandal the pedophile financier who Andrew lied about cutting ties
with It. Comes after The Mail on Sunday exclusively revealed
scandalous correspondence where the shun Prince told Epstein were in
this together, a day after the infamous picture of the
Royal with his alleged then teenage sex victim, Virginia Roberts
was released. As Andrew's links to the disgraced financier continued
to bring shame to the Royals. Last night, he finally
agreed to surrender his winds Or lease, where he resided
with his ex wife Sarah Ferguson for over two decades,
paying a peppercorn rent. Sources revealed the former Duchess of York,
who has also been embroiled in scale relating to sex
offending Epstein, will make her own arrangements when it comes
to her future. Well, wouldn't you know it. Being an
adult is fun stuff, isn't it. And let's not act
like she's moving into budget suites. Her daughters are loaded,
they're married to rich people. I'm sure that Fergie's going
to be fine. Plenty of toasucking coming your way. Fergs,
don't worry. His Majesty's younger brother will now be banished
to a private property on the monarch Sandringham estate, Norfolk,
but no further details have been shared. It's understood Prince
William and the royal family fully support the King's decision.
Annie Farmer, one of Jeffrey Epstein's earliest accusers who testified
in the trial that resulted in the conviction of his
longtime aid Glenne Maxwell, told the BBC longtime aid, you
mean co conspirator, right fellow, all around scumbag, child, abuser
and the rest of it. That's what you mean, right.
Virginia did what most thought impossible. She showed the world
that even the most powerful predators can be held accountable
one hundred percent. One hundred percent and save the bullshit.
I don't want to hear it. If Andrew was innocent,
he would have defended himself. He didn't do any of that.
A real man would have stood up and said, you
know what, not me, You got the wrong ass guy,
and here's why. But Prince Andrew, he went hid behind
mummy skirts, went hid behind the walls of Buckingham Palace
and avoided any kind of responsibility or even answering any
questions asked by investigators or people that were working on
the case. So yeah, Prince Andrew straight up coward, Always
has been, always will be. Andrew Lowney believes the recent
fallout doesn't mark the end of controversy for the Chandroyal.
I don't think it's the end of it. I think
there are many more disclosures to come, but at least
they are taking some decisive action, so I don't think
it's all over for him, he told The Mirror when
queried if he believed the police probe and Andrew was
more likely Following Yesday's announcement, he remarked that the ex
Duke was being thrown under the bus. One hundred percent
that's happening. That's actually a legit criticism. He's definitely getting
thrown under the bus. But guess what he earned it.
He earned the position he's in. Nobody'll blame but himself.
Not the King, not the Queen, not the Pope, not
the grand mufty, nobody but himself. Yes, I've been saying
for some time the royal family is going to throw
Andrew under the bus to save themselves, and this is
the first indication of that. He added, Well, nobody's bigger
than the firm, right, nobody's bigger than the monarchy, and
certainly not this goofball Prince Andrew. The Palace is thought
to have been spooked by the detailed delegations laid out
in the memoir from Prince Andrew's sex abuser, Virginia Roberts,
who took her own life this year, age forty one.
Miss roberts explosive book Nobody's Girl, a Memoir of Surviving
abuse and Fighting for Justice, was released in this month,
with the manuscript having been completed before she died. Inside,
she detailed her years that she spent as a sex
slave to Epstein In his British Madam Glenn Maxwell Amid
claims that she had been trafficked to the ex duke
three times, whom she called entitled and viewed sex as
his birthright. Within the four hundred page autobiography, she also
alleged the ex Duke said thank you in a clip
British accent after their alleged first encounter when she was seventeen.
She also recalled Maxwell praised her following the encounter, saying
you did well. The Prince had fun, Andrew denied ever
meeting Miss Roberts. In twenty twenty two, he settled the
US civil case she lodged for a reported twelve million pounds,
reportedly receiving money from his mother, Queen Elizabeth the IID
to help meet the costs. The settlement came with no
admission of liability. Yeah, I think the settlement itself was liability, right,
I mean, come on to beat this dead horse. But
nobody's settling for that kind of dough if they're not guilty.
I'm sorry, I don't believe it. I just don't believe
it because at the end of the day, the embarrassment
was still gonna come. All this information was still out there.
The only thing you can do when you have this
kind of allegation, you know, made against you, is stand
up to it. If you're innocent, you stand up. You
don't go meekly into the night so your daughters look
at you as a rapist, So your family looks at
you as some kind of degenerate, so the world looks
at you as a scumbag. That's what you want to do,
and then you have the audacity to cry you didn't
have a chance to defend yourself. You had a chance.
You chose to buy your way out instead because you
didn't want your dirty laundry aired. That's what it comes
down to. So anybody who thinks that Prince Andrew just
paid out some dough to try and make this go
away is either being dishonest or they're stupid, because there's
no hay in hell that this was going away even
after the settlement. And now these allegations, this story hasn't
just come back. It's exploded like a nuclear bomb, and
now we're seeing the after effects with this mushroom cloud
that's appeared over Prince Andrew and Buckingham Palace. And now
in order to mitigate that fallout, they've decided that they
have to cut ties completely with Prince Andrew. But the
question is is it too little, too late? All right, folks,
we're gonna wrap up this episode right here, and in
the next episode we're gonna pick up where we left off.
