Yesterday, Page Six reported that “big news” is coming soon about Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Why do I have an image of Charles hanging a “mission accomplished” banner outside of Frogmore Cottage and inviting the royal rota to take photos of Andrew’s flat-screen TVs being moved into yet another Crown Estates property? It does look like Andrew will be moving into Frogmore, btw. The Sun keeps reporting that workmen have been going in and out of Frogmore in recent days, which begs the question: what work and why? The Sussexes left Frogmore in excellent condition. MPs have apparently set a four-week deadline for “getting answers about Andrew’s Royal Lodge lease” – but I have no idea if this parliamentary inquiry will continue to fester if Charles stops dithering and cleans up this mess. Speaking of, there’s a confirmation of exactly when Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein all partied at Royal Lodge:

Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein at Royal Lodge months after an arrest warrant had been issued for Epstein for sexually assaulting a minor.

The trio visited the 30-room mansion in Windsor as part of Princess Beatrice’s 18th birthday party at Windsor Castle in 2006. While their presence at the party was known at the time, it was not known they had visited Royal Lodge. Details of their visit have emerged after the BBC traced a previously published photo of Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein to Royal Lodge after comparing the trees and patio wall to other pictures of the property.

The visit came two months after an arrest warrant had been issued in the US for Epstein for the sexual assault of a minor. Eight days after the party, he was arrested in Florida.

When asked in 2019 why he invited Epstein to his daughter’s celebrations despite the arrest warrant, Andrew told Newsnight: “Certainly I wasn’t aware when the invitation was issued what was going on in the United States and I wasn’t aware until the media picked up on it because he never said anything about it.”

Epstein and Maxwell, who is in jail for sex trafficking offences, had visited royal residences on several other occasions. A photo believed to have been taken in 1999 shows the pair at Balmoral. In 2000, Epstein and Maxwell attended Andrew’s 40th birthday at Windsor Castle and the prince hosted a birthday party for Maxwell at Sandringham, which Epstein attended. Maxwell had a private tour of Buckingham Palace in 2002, and a photo later emerged of her sitting on a throne alongside the actor Kevin Spacey.

The timeline is insane and I actually didn’t put it together either – while the photos of Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein at the party have circulated for years, I didn’t know that the party was in Windsor Castle AND Royal Lodge, nor did I realize that there was an active arrest warrant out for Epstein at the time. Bonkers. Look at that photo and understand that it’s not any kind of dealbreaker for Charles or the royal establishment though.
