Palace slammed for threatening ‘a million different ways’ to drop Andrew, Epstein story

King Charles’ Firm has just been exposed for its efforts to bury the connection between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein as early as 2015.

The person who initially broke the news is former chancellor Gordon Brown, in his new piece for The New Statesman, “The cover-up?”

It spoke of this attempt at hiding the connection all those years ago, but more than anything referenced the lack of a proper statement by the King too.

Mr Andrew Lownie, royal author an unofficial biographer to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor referenced the piece in his Substack and the conversation started with him questioning, “very well if Charles has nothing further to say, but why can’t the palace as an institution respond? Then announce that they will be investigating fully a scandal that has outraged and appalled the entire country and that they will endeavour to work out what went wrong so that it can’t be allowed to happen again.”

He also said, “given the police have brought no charges against Andrew for sexual crimes, there is no legal reason for the palace to be reticent in investigating the extent to which they know about Andrew’s movements and behaviour.”

After all being the most proected family in the world should mean that the sheer number of staff increases the chances of someone seeing at least something, “yet nobody saw anything?” he pondered.

In his view the reason for this silence, spanning decades, is reputation.”

In his eyes it is the “reason for their reticence,” which is exactly what “got them into this mess in the first place,” in his personal opinion. After all as many know the first thought is always that the monarchy must apparently come ahead of everything, “even the victims of sexual abuse, allegedly at the hands of the King’s brother.”

However before concluding he did reference the amount of women that were not saved, but could have been, had this come out back in 2015. Instead publications like ABC were threatened according to Amy Robach, “in a million different ways” back in 2015 to drop their story about Andrew and the paedophile financier.

He didn’t end though before saying, “while we’ve separated power and the crown, we have not separated power from an immunity derived from a Victorian deference that future generations will find astounding. The Royals’ financial dealings with the rich and powerful would make even Peter Mandelson blush.”

What is pertinent to mention regarding this entire thing is that, Mr Lownie feels the British authorities need to take action”. Not just over possible breaches of the Official Secrets Act, but over his use of public funds, and especially over incidents in which women allegedly brought to him at Sandringham, Buckingham Palace, Windsor and other locations because for this, they may have been trafficked into the country by Epstein.
