‘Royal sources’ insist that it’s up to Andrew Windsor to testify about Epstein

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, is all over the latest documents from the FBI files on Jeffrey Epstein. It’s been a constant theme for months now – with each document dump, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of newly-revealed communications between Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, conversations that continued well after Epstein was arrested and jailed. It’s not the fact that the two men were in close contact for so many years (and that Andrew blatantly lied about it) – it’s that Epstein was regularly trafficking women and girls to Andrew, and making arrangements for Andrew to visit the island. In recent days, one of the women trafficked to Andrew got a lawyer and she’s now pushing the issue even further. Just more outside pressure on Andrew to say more or even testify before the congressional committee investigating Epstein. Well, check out this curious Daily Mail exclusive:

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is under mounting pressure to co-operate with US officials investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, with sources saying it is a ‘matter of personal conscience’ as well as his public duty.

While Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the latest revelations from the US Department of Justice file dump, royal sources told the Daily Mail last night that ‘providing testimony is now a matter for Andrew and his conscience’. Insiders also said it was always a principle that those who have relevant information should ‘participate in any lawful inquiry on any subject’.

The development will add fuel to the fire of calls for the former prince to break his self-imposed silence and publicly co-operate with officials investigating Epstein’s crimes – and the network of contacts that aided and abetted him. However, despite being seen driving and riding around Windsor – where he was, astonishingly, photographed smiling and waving to onlookers without an apparent care in the world yesterday – there continued to be a deafening silence from the former royal.

It is understood King Charles was not aware of the level of detail in the latest files, which reveal the depths of the relationship between his brother and the paedophile. Buckingham Palace appears to be learning about the new material at the same time as the public. But the ensuing headlines will be troubling given Andrew was a working member of the Royal Family and held a prestigious role as a UK trade ambassador during his association with Epstein.

The King and Queen also pointedly stated last October, as it was announced Andrew was being stripped of his titles, that their ‘thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse’.

I always wondered if there would be a tipping point when it came to this Andrew-Epstein story. We were very close to reaching the tipping point last fall, when Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir was released alongside a slew of Epstein file docs which contradicted many of Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s lies. There was widespread outrage over Andrew and the Windsors in general for mishandling Andrew’s decades of degeneracy. The Windsors’ solution last fall was to unroyal Andrew and Fergie and force them out of Royal Lodge. But Andrew is still being protected by King Charles. Andrew is about to move into a renovated home in Sandringham, with a comfortable life completely paid for by Charles. He’ll also still have royal protection too.

The Mail’s Richard Eden took a break from huffing about Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan for a second to demand that the Metropolitan Police open a real investigation into Andrew. The same Met Police who buried their investigation into King Charles accepting millions of cash “donations” in exchange for knighthoods? The lack of real police investigation is one of the biggest signs that Andrew is still being protected by Britain’s elites.

This tweet got some attention yesterday – Andrew was out riding a horse in Windsor, and I pointed out that he’s so coddled, he has time to ride horses because his “staff” are the ones packing up all of his sh-t at Royal Lodge.

  1. Well first off the pedo has no conscience so he will not willingly testify!! As for Chuckles I think if he refuses to give him a place to live and security and money to live that might make the pedo more willing to testify maybe but as we all know weak and dithering Chuckles will not go that far!!

    • Me at home says:

      ITA, Charles should threaten to withhold Andrew’s lodging of any sort, security and spending money, to put pressure on him to testify.

      Charles won’t do that, because Andrew testifying would expose how much the BRF (Charles and William) knew. So instead the most we’ll get is “Furious Charles takes away Andrew’s horse stables access while William fumes [sure he does] about doing more.”

  2. Chantal1 says:

    I don’t believe that C-Rex was unaware of the level of detail in the latest files. I think he was surprised at how much was released. Felon47 will keep having the DOJ dump files re Andrew, Bill Clinton, and Democrats to distract from the thousands of times his name appears in the files. Of course, they’re so incompetent that they always incl files referencing him that they quickly delete.

    And no, Andrew will not testify unless he’s forced to. So who is he protecting? Perhaps Fergie can testify!

    • BeanieBean says:

      The DOJ is REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW to release all the files. It’s not supposed to matter what trump wants (I know, I know).

  3. Lady Digby says:

    Speaking to BBC Breakfast, royal biographer Andrew Lownie says the only way to restore trust in the monarchy is “if people feel the royals are not above the law, and that they too can be investigated”.

    Asked whether news that former US president Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary have agreed to testify in the congressional investigation into Epstein will put more pressure on others to do so, Lownie says he does not believe Andrew will talk to the US Senate.

    The “only way” to get him or Ferguson to talk, Lownie adds, is if a police officer were to knock on their front door. He believes Andrew would be “deeply implicated if he actually talks with them [US Senate]. We’ve seen how the Newsnight interview went”.

  4. Brassy Rebel says:

    The congressional investigation here in the US is in no way a real investigation. As long as Republicans are running Congress, it’s just a diversion from Trump’s very real involvement. Andrew and others incriminated by the released documents and photos are not sought for testimony. Meanwhile, they’re set to grill WJC and HRC who don’t appear anywhere in the emails so far released. There’s some hearsay about Bill in the tip line evidence but that’s pretty thin gruel. Even if Andrew volunteered to give testimony to the committee (not going to happen),it’s pretty obvious that they wouldn’t know what to do with him in their current state. Only by turning Congress and this committee over to Democrats in November will this begin to look like a real investigation.

  5. Lady Digby says:

    KC could withdraw from offer to house and fund Andrew which would force him into exile somewhere without an extradition treaty (Official version). Andrew won’t be testifying under oath but him quietly retreating to Norfolk is no longer feasible so the Firm will facilitate him relocating abroad with his teddy bears. They want to be seen to be taking action whilst facilitating his further escape from scrutiny. They are only concerned with protecting RF public image NOT doing the right thing by the victims.

  6. SuOutdoors says:

    Make Fergie testify by promising a little house in Windsor and some yearly pocket money. Should’t be that difficult, she is still looking out for a roof over her head!

  7. Lady Digby says:

    ANL must be very pleased with this dominating the news yesterday because it minimised coverage of Doreen Lawrence denunciation of the Fail pretending to be on her side whilst bugging her home. I agree with the outrage and extensive coverage of the Epstein Files because of the corruption and sleaze being revealed but Doreen ‘s court testimony is important. There will be a day of reckoning for ANL and I also hope the Epstein victims get recognition of their sufferings. Ghislaine Maxwell isn’t the only one who should be in jail.

  8. QuiteContrary says:

    He should be required by subpoena to testify.

  9. BeanieBean says:

    ‘It is understood King Charles was not aware of the level of detail in the latest files,….’ Wait a minute, didn’t we just read in the other article from DM that Charles was informed at the end of last year & that he got ahead of things by de-princing Andrew & kicking him out of his home? They can’t keep track of their own stories!

  10. jferber says:

    Bullshit. Andrew is not above the law, though his family may think he and they are. He is a criminal who should be extradited to the U.S.

  11. Mayp says:

    Congress can issue subpoenas to testify to US citizens but I don’t know that their reach extends abroad (I would think not). Previously, the issue was the FBI wanted to interview him. It was explained back then that the normal procedures (for a foreign government seeking to depose or interview a person) who is a member of the Royal family would only follow if the Monarch gave consent. Ol’ Betty did not give her consent so no interview or deposition happened.

    I’m wondering if they’re saying that it’s up to Andrew now as to whether or not he is interviewed or testifies, is because Congress does not have the reach that the FBI, as a law enforcement agency, does. Or, even if it does have that reach would Charles consent?

    Would love for someone that knows to chime in!
