With the public demanding blood, the change of pace King Charles has taken with his brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has come into the spotlight.
This has even led his unofficial biographer Andrew Lownie to speak out with Wendy Naugle for USA Today’s Excerpt podcast and explain why he believes the Royal Family initially kept their heads in the sand.
The conversation itself started with him saying, “The royal family had been aware of Andrew’s activities for years.”
According to the unofficial biographer King Charles actually ‘tried to stop’ Andrew from even being appointed the trade envoy in 2001,” Mr Lownie claims.
“So they’ve known this story, they’ve known the scandal around Epstein for years” especially “while the queen was showing her support for him, often giving him new honors after he was caught with Epstein,” he pointed out regarding the late monarch.
The biographer also dropped a surprising bombshell, that exposes even more of the Firm’s alleged behavior and says, many of “you’re talking about the honors that have been taken away from him, well, they were actually often given to him after the scandal broke, but nothing was done. And I think both the queen and Charles had kind of got their heads in the sand.t”
Holding out on “he belief is that the problem will go away, the news agenda will move on and they can kind of protect him,” he claims was the thought within the Palace.
Howevever Prince William is concerned, as the future King is that “I think William has seen the reputational damage that’s been done, that he needs to get ahead of the story” and “that’s why a month ago or just over a month ago, they took the titles away properly from Andrew.”
Mr Lownie also didn’t end there, and instead admitted, prior to signing off that “it does tie into Trump” too. Because “there is a sense that the elites have operated in their own interests for too long and people in power need to be held account for their actions.”
