Lownie says, according to various British media, that Epstein wanted to initiate this plan when he was in prison in 2019, just before his suicide. He is said to have spoken to a murderer who had worked in the past for the Special Air Service, an elite British service within the army.

Epstein is said to have wanted to get rid of Andrew and his ex Sarah Ferguson because they could reveal secrets that could be harmful to the billionaire. Historian Lownie claims to be based on “very reliable sources”. Epstein is said to have been in bad shape during that period. “He said all kinds of things during that period,” Lownie said in a podcast.

Andrew recently renounced all his titles at the request of King Charles because his name has been mentioned for years in the investigation into Epstein and the abuse scandal surrounding his network of women who had to have sex with rich men.

US President Donald Trump recently signed legislation forcing the Justice Department to release files on Epstein. He approved a measure he had tried to block for months in a fight that fueled tensions within his own party and threatened to undermine his agenda.
