Jeffrey Epstein had 13 phone numbers for Prince Andrew, because of course

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family enjoy a flypast by the RAF at Trooping the Colour on Saturday 8 June 2019

In August, Prince Andrew released a statement claiming that his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein was merely a misunderstanding, and that they really weren’t that close. Andrew wrote, in the statement: “I saw him infrequently and probably no more than only once or twice a year. I have stayed in a number of his residences.” They were so barely-friends that Andrew felt the need to go to New York in 2010 (two years after Epstein’s conviction) to break up with him face-to-face. And then Andrew broke up with Epstein so hard that Andrew stayed at Epstein’s place and acted as the door-answering host to a variety of young-looking girls entering and exiting the place. Because Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein barely knew each other, people. Well, of course when you barely know someone, you make sure that they have ALL thirteen of your phone numbers, right?

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was loyal to his royal, logging 13 phone numbers for pal Prince Andrew, according to a private investigator, a report says. Gumshoe Mike Fisten, who dogged the late sex perv for a decade on behalf of victims, found an address book of Epstein’s at his Palm Beach mansion — and it was “a treasure trove of Jeffrey’s activities,” he told the Sunday Times of London Saturday.

“It really took us out of south Florida and took us around the globe,” he said. “For instance, if looking at the section in London, you could pick out the Duke of York, which is Prince Andrew. And … it shows Buckingham Palace,” he said. “He has 13 phone numbers to contact the duke.”

They were just casual acquaintances, how dare you! What if Andrew’s casual acquaintance needed to get in touch with him in an emergency situation, like if Epstein came to town with an assortment of underage, trafficked girls? Emergency!

Meanwhile, if that’s not bad enough, it turns out that Andrew is the third-richest person in the royal family (after the Queen and Prince Charles) and no one knows how he got his money. Andrew is apparently worth about £57 million, and Lib Dem MP Norman Baker wants to know how and why. From Baker’s new book (which was excerpted by the Mail on Sunday):

Prince Andrew completed 22 years in the Armed Forces and served with courage and distinction in the Falklands War of 1982. The trouble is that after his retirement in 2001, he found himself at a loose end – and the rest of us found ourselves with a loose cannon. In the immediate wake of his departure from the Royal Navy, Andrew was handed the role of the UK Special Representative for Trade and Investment, taking over from the Duke of Kent. Unfortunately, the way he undertook this job was anything but diplomatic.

One former Royal aide described the Prince’s approach to his new role as ‘the worst combination of arrogance and stupidity’, while Simon Wilson, who served as deputy head of mission in Bahrain between 2001 and 2005, reported that Andrew was ‘more commonly known among the diplomatic community in the Gulf as HBH – His Buffoon Highness’.

For good measure, Wilson was withering about the entourage that Andrew took everywhere as he fulfilled his new role, and about the cost to the taxpayer. ‘The style in which I observed him carrying it [the job] out beggared belief,’ said Wilson. ‘He travelled with a team of six – there was also a 6ft ironing board that he insisted went everywhere he went. It was hilarious to witness the valet struggling off the plane with it and placing the precious object carefully into the minibus.’

It seems that despite the acute embarrassments, the shady company he keeps and the pointed questions about his activities, Andrew has not modified his behaviour one iota. Each year the Prince receives a tax-free handout from his mother of £249,000 to fund his private office, to which he can add a small naval pension of £20,000. Yet his spending habits suggest an income way beyond that. Most strikingly, in late 2014 Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, bought a £13 million ski chalet in the upmarket Swiss resort of Verbier. At the same time, he was spending £7.5 million to refurbish Royal Lodge, his home in Windsor Great Park.

[From The Mail on Sunday]

I thought it was pretty well-established that Andrew was doing all kinds of shady real estate deals with Middle East despots and rando oligarchs? I mean, there’s not a ton of evidence gathered about that, it’s mostly just supposition and assumption. But imagine if it was, say, a biracial duchess. There would be investigations and the media would be all over it. But, you know, Andrew is the one who gets to do multiple photo-ops with the Queen. So few media people want to touch this.

    And the main issue are H&M…
    I hope Megs quit this family ASAP for the sake of her child and her own well being.

    • Mignionette says:

      Agreed 100%. This is no way to live constantly being torn apart as a human shield for Paedo’s and Aristo community dick.

    • Some chick says:

      SHE CANNOT QUIT AND KEEP HER CHILD.

      As with Harry and William, the heirs belong to the BRF. She can go, but Archie would have to stay.

      I wish people would stop suggesting this. It’s impossible. And running away from bullies only empowers them further. They do not deserve that. The bullies do not deserve the satisfaction.

      She’s done nothing to deserve the treatment she’s gotten. Chilling out at their lovely home together as a family – in the UK – is the best solution. Traveling and doing what they want.

      Avoid the nest of vipers in the rose garden. The hypocritical breeders criticizing others for having children. Give the greedy media even less of what it wants.

      Hold your heads up, prevail in the legal system, cuddle the babe and love one another. It is the only way.

      Do NOT give in. All that will do is make them go after you harder, next time.

      Ask me how I know.

    13 phone numbers!! I’m thinking those cant all be his personal/direct lines, so was Epstein calling up Buckingham Palace and going through an assistant before talking to Andrew? I wonder if there would be any sort of official record of those calls? Or if the phone records could be pulled to see how many times one of Epstein’s numbers called one of Andrews.

    Bottom line though – you don’t give someone 13 different ways to contact you when you are barely friends.

    • ChillyWilly says:

      He was probably using burner cell phones like all other criminals do.

      • BayTampaBay says:

        Post of the week ChillyWilly!

      • MsIam says:

        Yeah, racketeering and money laundering come to mind after reading these stories. Hopefully the screws are tightening around Andrew.

      • Becks1 says:

        Ha, you’re probably right! That would explain why so many numbers.

        Lordy. Andrew really is a criminal.

        ETA and to be clear I mean even beyond Epstein and the young girls. It sounds like he is really really dirty.

      • Giddy says:

        So Andrew’s pervy buddies must have steered him toward very lucrative investments. Or…they just flat gifted him large amounts so that they could hang out with a Royal.

        Won’t the balance of power shift hugely once TQ dies? My understanding is that Charles doesn’t think much of Andrew. I think he will be very much more a pariah.

    • Melissa says:

      Also, a lot of them probably date to before international sim cards were a thing. So a number in the UK, a number in Europe, a number in the US, a number in the Middle East, etc…

      • MsIam says:

        Why would he need to be able to call Andrew anywhere at anytime? They were “barely acquaintances “…………

  3. janey says:

    Its so ridiculous, I’ve hardly heard a thing about this other than on here. The British media just don’t want to touch it. I’m almost sick of hearing about other royals but nothing about this. I think there was a documentary on channel 4 last night but I missed it. Other than that it’s not really been featured on the news that I’ve seen or in the papers.

    • Bohemian Angel says:

      @Janey. Yes the documentary was aired last night, I haven’t seen or heard one news/media outlet talking about it, all they can talk about is Harry and Meghan relinquishing their titles and moving far far away or how William is ‘very worried’ about Harry’s mental health and how they Harry and Meghan aren’t cut out for ‘Royal work’.
      ITV done Andrew a BIG favour by airing the Sussex doc a day before Andrew’s, he must be silently thanking them.

  4. Bella Bella says:

    I wish the British media would sink their teeth into this. Makes me so mad when people/men get away with grifting. What we have to live with daily over here in the U.S. is mindblowing. At least some in the media are starting to do Lie Tallies for each of T’s speeches and statements.

    • BayTampaBay says:

      The British Media will not do anything unless Andrew files a lawsuit against them. If Andrew files a lawsuit the British Tabloid media will but a target on his face.

  5. S808 says:

    I cannot believe this is not the main topic discussion is regards to the royal family. MADNESS.

  6. Me Again says:

    But look over here *hand wiggle*: MEGHAN TEARED UP ON CAMERA.

    How does the world not see what the heck is really going on?

  7. ChillyWilly says:

    On yes, I totally have 13 different phone numbers for all of my “casual aquaintances”. It’s so much easier that way!
    Andrew is despicable. And I still think Epstein was murdered.

  8. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    The magic number is 13. His money comes from the lucky 13. After 13, innocence gets lost. Meghan, I know it sounded like a fairy tale on paper, but fairy tales are riddled with villains, and there’s no happily ever after. If there were, it’d have been written about. Run. Take Harry and the wee one.

  9. p says:

    I know Meghan loves her husband and baby, but as a the human she is, I sometimes wonder if she thinks what did I get into.
    I hope someone investigates disgusting Andrew, but honestly I dont think its going to happen.

  10. Mar says:

    But the British Press will keep talking about the Sussexes.

  11. Betsy says:

    This is the biggest scandal in the Royal family ever and you’re all right: no one’s talking about it! I’ve just lost steam caring about the press’s treatment of Harry and Meghan. Th fact that the senior royals let them twist I think specifically to distract from the fact that they have a rapist in their midst.

    I’m not a British subject; the existence of the royal family doesn’t affect me personally and I’ve enjoyed seeing them on tv and magazines over the years, but the fact that the Queen is protecting a rapist… this isn’t a hundred years ago.

    But I also know from royal documentaries and reading about them that if public opinion shifts significantly and angrily enough, as it did regarding their inadequate and somewhat tradition-bound response to Diana’s death, Andy will be cut as loose as any wealthy white man can be. I think that is the reason the Royals are keeping this off the air is because once people are aware, there will be hell to pay.

    • ArtHistorian says:

      The Andrew scandal has a very real possibility to topple the entire monarchy – and that is probably why there isn’t more of a spotlight on the WORST scandal to touch the BRF in modern times. It is disgusting.

  12. Charfromdarock says:

    Shady as hell.

    Kudos to this journalists who actually continue to work on this.

  13. SJR says:

    I still think Diana was killed.
    This current edition of the BRF are running a huge “distract and deny” campaign and Liz is completely in the know about the crimes being committed and covered up.
    I think Charles and his advisors are actually busting their asses behind the scenes trying to figure out how to keep the BRF running.
    Liz is 90+ years old. Charles has to be basically King in all but ceremony right now.

    And my money is on…once he is officially King Charles, Andrew will be sent to a very far corner of the Empire, H&M will be secondary and also a much lesser public role, and William and his kids will be front and center and all BRF will once again be very, very traditional.
    It will be a much shorter list of “official working BRF members.”

    • Elisa says:

      hmmm, I think TQ is still running the show because someone is pulling ALL kinds of strings to bury the Epstein / Andrew stories and I can’t imagine it`s Charles because he and Andrew never got along.
      I agree with you that once Charles is king he will get rid of Andrew and focus on William and his family.

    • Some chick says:

      I still think Diana was bumped off too. There are way too many weird inconsistencies. In any case, the paps hounded her mercilessly. They don’t care about anyone. It’s all about the Benjamins.

  14. He he says:

    He is so gross

  15. Suz says:

    Ironing board or massage table? *barf

  16. Noodle says:

    If he is so wealthy, why did Fergie accept $15,000 from Epstein, before she got called out and then called him a “paedophile”?

    • Becks says:

      Apparently this was what caused the falling out between Andrew and Epstein….. I recommend the podcast “The Mysterious Mr. Epstein”, it is both eye opening as well as disgusting.

  17. Royalpurple says:

    It’s this story that makes me wonder if the current Sussex bashing is coming from Buckingham Palace instead of KP or Clarence House.

    No one but TQ has any reason or motivation to protect Andrew.

    Not that William is above joining the fray, of course. But I feel like Meghan is being thrown under the bus to protect Andrew. And Harry with her.

  18. dawnchild says:

    I’m commenting just to get the numbers up on this 🙂

    He’s vile, and anyone who protects him is vile.
    It’s no good applying the old “well, everyone knew that great grand-uncle Louis/Albert/whatever had a thing for very young girls…and we all just looked away in a civilized fashion, so that that’s the rule book to follow here for genteel ‘well-bred’ people”. Nope, nada, no more…

    Please keep knocking on this door, peeps. Don’t let the H&M show detract from the real story (though I have all the sympathy for those two having to be the media sacrifice for this POS)

  19. Digital Unicorn says:

    The fact that he took part in an orgy with Epstein and several young woman has pretty much made me celibate.

    People need to pay close attention to Prince Porky Fingers financies that’s how they are always brought down. If you trace his money back far enough there are shady deals with shady people.

  20. Mrs.Krabapple says:

    If the entire royal family has shady financial dealings (and I suspect they do), then they are ALL motivated to protect Andrew because they cannot set a precedent that a member of the royal family’s finances can be audited, subpoenaed, sued, criminally charged, etc. That’s why I think Charles will continue to protect Andrew after the Queen dies — not for Andrew’s own sake, but for the royal family as a whole.

  21. Meli-cali says:

    May God*, keep you, Harry and Archie safe in His Hand,,,,come home to California Megan honey,,, <3

  22. Senator Fan says:

    I agree, keep talking about this pedo and don’t let up. If Epstein is still being investigated in the US, UK, and in France suely something concrete will come out from all those agencies and resources?

  23. blue36 says:

    Conspiracy theory – I think the reason Harry and Meghan’s doc was released the day that it was is precisely due to the fact that Andrew’s doc was going to air the next day, nothing to do with the Pakistan tour at all. The timing wasn’t decided by H&M but by the Royal Family – they knew the headlines the day after would be all about the Sussexes, so they cut a deal with ITV. I think Harry and Meghan thought this was them finally supporting them and letting them tell their side of the story, but really it was just to protect this horrific criminal. Gross.
