'Secret' behind King Charles’ shocking decision against Andrew exposed

The real reason behind King Charles’ surprise decision to take away his “disgraced” brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s titles have been revealed.

According to The Royals with Roya and Kate podcast, the monarch took the decision because of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Royal editor Roya Nikkhah discussed how the files, ordered for release by the US Congress, could reveal more about Andrew’s connection to the late convicted sex offender.

Mark Landler, London bureau chief of The New York Times, said there are likely more embarrassing details to come, which may have prompted Charles to act quickly.

"I think we will see more; I actually think that we may see more on Andrew, which may explain why King Charles made the difficult decision to go all the way when he did,” Landler said.

He continued, "I think some of that was anticipatory; they probably do worry about things that have yet to be disclosed.

“What they are, we don't know yet. We will find out eventually. I mean, there's a lot going on in the US."

He claimed that the US Department of Justice has launched a new, separate investigation into Epstein, which could give them a reason to delay the release of the documents.

"So I'm not sure we've seen the whole drama play out, but yes, there will probably be more,” Landler added.

“It will be embarrassing, and I think people in institutions like Buckingham Palace are trying to get ahead of it."
