Royal family is under intense scrutiny as former Prince Andrew’s links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continue to stir controversy.
Historian Andrew Lownie has warned King Charles and the rest of the royal family members that the scandal has pushed the monarchy into “the most dangerous moment.”
Speaking on The Daily Beast podcast, Lownie suggested that Charles may be quietly helping Andrew leave the UK.
“I think they’re in trouble,” he said. “People are asking wider questions beyond Andrew about how this was allowed to happen, why it wasn’t dealt with earlier, and how he continues to be protected.”
“The royals are now aware of that, and to save themselves, to save wider questions about royal privilege and accountability, they’ve thrown Andrew to the wolves in effect,” he added.
He added that Prince William could take a tougher stance, along with a warning that might affect Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
“People are asking much wider questions about the opaqueness of their finances, which they don’t want to answer,” Lownie shared, adding that public is “fed up with coverups, with the protection elites.”
He concluded, “Things are breaking up. So they do need to sort of regroup and rethink what they do.”
