Lhe decision of the American judges to make public the contents of Court files relating to the Epstein scandal overwhelmed (again) Prince Andrew. The newly desecrated papers list him among more than 150 prominent friends of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sexual abuse and trafficking of minors.
Prince Andrew accused by other victims
From Bill Clinton to Donald Trump, Michael Jackson and even Stephen Hawking, the list of celebrities who allegedly frequented Epstein contains numerous surprises. Prince Andrew, yes kicked out of English court in 2019 after a disastrous interview given to BBCexpected to see his name mentioned but, say the English media, he was not prepared for the new accusations made against him by other “victims” who now associate with Virginia Giuffre, his main accuser.
The British police “investigate” Andrea
The name of Andrea appears 69 times in the court files and point the finger at the prince, mentioning other victims who accuse him of having groped them. There is also talk of his presence in underage orgies organized on one of Epstein’s Caribbean islands. The English police cannot pretend nothing has happened and are preparing for an eventuality that will certainly not please King Charles III: that of formally investigating Queen Elizabeth’s third son.

Will King Charles sacrifice his brother once and for all?
Carlo had promised his mother Elisabetta to take care of his inconvenient brother, but the move of the American judges immediately forced him to turn around. Now the king has only one thing in mind: the protection (at all costs) of the Windsor brand.
The sovereign would have even regretted having included his brother in the parade at Sandringham on Christmas morning, when Andrew appeared outside the church together with all his relatives. But to save the monarchy, now the Duke of York will have to leave Windsor and never be seen next to a Royal again.

Andrea’s hopes for a return to court
In 2022, on the eve of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and so as not to further embarrass Queen Elizabeth, the duke had reached an economic agreement with his accuser Giuffre. But he always declared himself innocent and hoped to convince his brother king to allow him a gradual return to court in official guise. The Christmas walk in Sandringham with relatives, including his ex-wife Sarah, had shown him visibly satisfied with that small step taken towards a return to public life.
Andrea and Sarah Ferguson married again?
There has been a rumor for a few weeks that Andrea and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson intend to remarry. The two are very close and have lived together for decades Royal Lodge, the family home not far from Windsor Castle. Fergie, who has always defended him, has just started a new media career to help her ex-husband financially. But will Carlo approve of the new union?
They will also pay the price daughters Beatrice and Eugenia, who was expected to have greater involvement at court in the future, considering the current shortage of senior Royals. But in light of new events, the princesses can no longer hope to officially represent the king.
