Here are some facts about Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein: they were seen together for years, even after Epstein’s plea-conviction for sexual abuse/trafficking. Andrew hosted Epstein at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. Andrew was seen and photographed opening the door for a parade of young-looking women at Epstein’s New York home AFTER Epstein’s conviction. Epstein and Andrew were also seen and photographed taking a walk through Central Park after the conviction. Those are just some facts which lead to a certain picture of a human trafficker/serial abuser and the man who enjoyed the girls being trafficked to him. But Andrew’s team has a new version of those post-conviction hangouts. This story is the product of two months of crisis talks. Via The Sun because the original Sunday Times story is paywalled:
Prince Andrew has allegedly told pals he only visited paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in New York to end their friendship. The Queen’s second son claims he went to see the disgraced billionaire financier in 2010 to cut contact, sources told the Sunday Times.
The prince has denied any wrongdoing during his friendship with Epstein, but has come under fire for visiting him after he was released from prison for child prostitution offences. But a source told the newspaper: “The duke has been hammered for one mistake, which took place in 2010. He has apologised again and again for the error of judgement. But what he did wasn’t criminal. It was a mistake. He went to see a friend to tell them he couldn’t be their friend any more.”
They added: “Every example of anyone behaving like Epstein, who has later been discovered, has actually been very good at keeping their cover. If you have someone like the duke, you probably don’t show that side of yourself to him. That’s the sadness of being someone like the duke, you sometimes don’t see the real person because you are a bit of a trophy friend.”
Again, Andrew was photographed walking through Central Park with Epstein in 2010, years after Epstein’s conviction. That’s what Andrew (or a “source”) is claiming now, that the walk was a friendship breakup. They don’t want to explain why Andrew was also staying with Epstein in his home and acting as the door-answering host to welcome girls/women during that same visit. They also don’t want to explain why Andrew claimed he was barely friends with Epstein yet their friendship was so valuable and important to him that he needed to break it off with Epstein in person. LMAO.
As for that other argument – the “I barely knew the guy!” argument – this was part of one of the many ass-covering statements Andrew made in the past two months: “I met Mr Epstein in 1999. During the time I knew him, I saw him infrequently and probably no more than only once or twice a year. I have stayed in a number of his residences. At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction.” Do you often need to go in person to break it off with a pedophile whom you only see once or twice a year? Seriously, all of this is the result of the best minds of the palace communications and legal team. No wonder Meghan and Harry are going outside the palace for advice and strategy. The palace’s crack team is going to talk Andrew into international trafficking charges.
Also, this exchange between old-guard royal reporters was fascinating:
It’s striking that this explanation has taken 9 years to emerge and that the “chubby fingers” defence wasn’t deployed four years ago https://t.co/D9GqOwu40m

Interesting point on Sunday Times Prince Andrew revelations from former BBC royal correspondent. Perhaps one explanation could be that Jeffrey Epstein was, until very recently, still alive? https://t.co/GiqhB01Uor

And people wonder why the Sussexes got outside counsel for their issues. The BRF law firm is a joke and I’m glad some in the British press is not going to let Andrew off the hook.
That was the best line of this post.
WORD Kaiser.
This is the most attention randy Andy has received in years, and he must be loving it, bad or good, it’s attention.
Any one else would be laying low, but this arrogant POS, don’t care, because mommy is holding his fat fingers.
If this is the best they could come up with after 2 months worth of crisis talks then he’s screwed.
Pedophilia is something you can never recover from in the public eye. It’s just to unforgivable. The irony is that his security costs and those of his daughters will now go up so he will now get his wish for funding in that regard.
I don’t know about that — Roman Polanski was given an Academy Award and standing ovation, and he doesn’t even deny that it raped a child. I think the royal family will deny, deflect, and defend until the public pretty much forgets about it.
finally a decent man who wouldn’t break up with his pedophile friend via message or, i dunno, just by ghosting him, oh no! Instead he endured the pain of doing it face to face and even stayed at his friend’s house for another couple of days just to make sure that the said friend is all right. Well done, Andrew, you sleazy twat.
LMFAO !!! 🙂
ha!!! this is hilarious
I was thinking the same thing! If I found out I was friends with a pedophile, that fool would get AT MOST a terse text that he and I were friends no more. Not a weekend strolling through the leaves in Central Park.
It’s almost like they were friends for the express purpose of being pedos together, but I think the Royals would like us not to think that. (In case it isn’t clear, I know that’s the case).
HA! His PR people must hate him!
THAT’S the explanation they’re going with?!?!?
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If the topic wasn’t so serious this would all be hilariously pathetic. Time for the Royals to f**k off.
Oh and just so we are clear? It’s totally OK to ghost a pedophile sex trafficker and rapist. Totally OK to ghost them.
Plenty of members of the BRF are great at freezing out people who have offended them, so I’m sure in the Big Book Of Royal Etiquette, ghosting is already the preferred method of dealing with undesirables.
That just makes this “explanation” all the more farcical.
It only took *checks watch* 9 years to come up with up this explanation.
Now how quickly can someone dig up a photo dated post 2010 with pedo prince and his sex trafficker friend?
I feel stupid, but what are they talking about with the “chubby fingers” defense?
That the picture of Andy with his hand around the girl’s waist (can’t remember her name) was photoshopped because he has chubby fingers. SMH
Well it is not like Andrew could have just sent him a text, email or even dial a phone to call his old pal Jeffrey, his fingers are too fat, remember. Jeez, if you cannot trust and believe someone who knowingly cavorts with sexual abusers who can you trust and believe?
I saw this on twitter and just howled. Like…..this is the excuse/defense? They weren’t really friends at all, you see, but Andrew still felt like he had to fly to New York and walk with him in Central Park and get photographed and then break off the friendship. A simple phone call just would NOT DO given the depths of their friendship….but I mean whoops, they weren’t really friends to begin with…..
I MEAN COME ON.
That exchange on twitter IS interesting. It seems to imply that Epstein might have had proof of Andrew and Epstein being close friends. Or something that indicates the friendship did NOT end in 2010.
I have no words. No words. The BRF needs to quietly go away now.
I am pretty sure Prince Pervert felt it was important to look him deeply in the eyes and say “it’s not you, it’s me.”
If Beatrice’s wedding is televised I will not be tuning in. Eugenie’s was a waste of enough time but I can’t bear to even look at this idiot anymore.
I knew Andrew was one of the Queen’s sons and I knew he looked like a tool, but that was it. Then, I saw one clip from that wedding on social media. He was talking about how they had more guests than at Harry and Meghan’s because they had more friends or whatever. He’s just way worse than your first impressions lead you to believe. Abusing children and associating with other abusers? Jesus.
What do you guys think Charles makes of this? Like, I’ve gathered from pieces over the years that there’s no love lost between them. But, I wonder if Charles and his staff have been doing anything behind the scenes?
Yeah, maybe they are not advising him properly PR wise on purpose because this line of defense is ridiculous.
I think Charles is pleased that Andrew’s reputation is being hurt, because it makes it that much easier to eventually cut off Andrew and his daughters from funds and functions. However, for the sake of the royal family generally, I think Charles will continue to protect Andrew *legally* even after the Queen dies. Because I seriously doubt Andrew is the only one with shady connections and financial dealings, and Charles won’t want to set a precedent of opening up members of the royal family to subpoenas, lawsuits, and charges.
I’m in Ireland, they showed a special on him sat night. Maybe on BBC. I never knew what a scum bag he is. And screw the Queen. With that smile on her face with him. I’m SICK of hearing how she gave up her life for service. The visions of those little girls coming out of the townhouse while Andrew waves bye bye. Never saw it before. It is mind blowing. Seriously one looked ten.
So many unnecessary defections from a purely innocent party.
Hmm.
Gee, I wonder why.
Nice try, Andy.
