Andrew, Epstein controversy grows as expert warns bigger story may emerge

Former Prince Andrew has been warned that things are going to get difficult for him as more Epstein files come to light.

One of the photos discovered from new Epstein documents released by US Department of Justice showed the “disgraced” ex-royal crouched over a female lying on the floor.

The documents also seem to suggest that Andrew hosted the convicted sex offender at Buckingham Palace.

Speaking with The Mirror, royal biographer Andrew Lownie said that it may be time to demand answers from the former Duke of York over alleged misuse of Buckingham Palace.

Lownie said it would be very difficult for anyone to entertain guests at the palace without strict protocols and the involvement of multiple staff members.

"You can't entertain in Buckingham Palace without going through all sorts of protocols and involving lots of staff,” Lownie said.

The expert said this raises serious questions about who may have known about Andrew’s activities.

"Absolutely, there are many more girls. This is a much bigger story than anyone realises, this is the tip of the iceberg,” he continued.

“We know, I think it’s about three percent of the files that were held by the DOJ, we also have the files that the Epstein estate has, so there's potentially a lot more that could still come out.

Before concluding, Lownie warned that recent file releases may only show a small part of the full story.

"This is now a bigger scandal than Andrew, it's about what the palace knew and why they didn't act."
