Tensions flared on Capitol Hill as Representative Ted Lieu confronted Attorney General Pam Bondi over newly released Jeffrey Epstein–related files that include photographs of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Lieu argued that redactions in the images confirmed the presence of a trafficking victim and questioned why Andrew has not been prosecuted.Bondi confirmed the victim's face had been redacted under congressional law but pushed back when Lieu accused the Department of Justice of shutting down further investigation. Lieu responded that previous attorneys general had also “dropped the ball,” but said Bondi now has the power to act.Meanwhile, a survivor of Epstein's abuse has urged Buckingham Palace to take stronger action. Juliette Bryant, speaking to the BBC, welcomed the King's statement that he is “ready to support” police but asked whether the Palace would actually follow through, calling for Andrew's records to be reviewed and made public if there is “nothing to hide.” Bryant has never met Andrew and has made no allegations against him. Andrew denies wrongdoing.As pressure mounts, King Charles is reportedly distancing himself financially. A source close to the King says he did not contribute to the roughly $15 million settlement Andrew paid in 2022 to resolve Virginia Giuffre's civil lawsuit. Reports suggest funds came from other family sources. Andrew has denied wrongdoing.Legal experts now warn that if Andrew were formally investigated in the United Kingdom, the process could take years. While life imprisonment is technically the maximum sentence for certain serious misconduct offenses, solicitors stress that charges are not automatic and that he remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Only in royal life.King Charles reportedly enlisted armed protection officers using telescopic sights to help him spot salmon while fly fishing in Ireland. Security officers positioned in trees allegedly identified fish through rifle lenses and relayed directions via earpiece as the King cast his line. Despite the high-tech assist, experts insist Charles remains an accomplished traditional angler.Princess Anne, meanwhile, made her first ever personal appearance on social media, posting a direct-to-camera Instagram message congratulating Team GB's Winter Olympians. The moment carried extra weight given Anne herself competed at the 1976 Montreal Games.Across the Atlantic, a property video of Harry and Meghan's roughly $29 million California mansion — complete with nine bedrooms and sixteen bathrooms — sparked online jokes about the toilet count.

Daily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers is joined by Jennifer Newton to unpack another sensitive week for the Royal Family. They discuss how both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace released unprecedented statements, responding to the ongoing fallout over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, and the alleged alleged passing of confidential information to the disgraced financier. Public anger was on show in Clitheroe, where the King was heckled during a visit to the Lancashire town. Russell and Jennifer discuss the reaction to the heckler, and how the Royals could handle potential future outbursts. Russell also shares the insights from Prince William's diplomatic trip to Saudi Arabia, and how the Princess of Wales has been using her platform to advocate for children's mental health.

British police, specifically Thames Valley Police, are currently assessing a complaint alleging that Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, may have shared confidential government and trade information with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The inquiry was triggered by newly released U.S. Department of Justice documents showing email exchanges from 2010, while Andrew was serving as a UK trade envoy, in which he appears to have forwarded official reports on trade missions — including sensitive commercial and investment data — to Epstein shortly after receiving them. These actions have prompted a complaint from anti-monarchy campaigners alleging misconduct in public office and potential breaches of Britain's Official Secrets Act. Thames Valley Police have confirmed they are “assessing the information in line with our established procedures” and have held discussions with the Crown Prosecution Service to decide whether the case should advance into a full criminal investigation. Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has stated that King Charles III and the royal family will support and cooperate with any legitimate police inquiry into the matter, and senior royals including Prince William and Princess Catherine have expressed deep concern over the ongoing revelations.The scope of the police inquiry extends beyond the alleged transmission of confidential trade reports: reports suggest authorities are also examining broader aspects of Andrew's relationship with Epstein, including claims regarding how that relationship persisted after Epstein's 2008 conviction. The inquiry remains in its early phases, with no formal charges filed yet, but the involvement of prosecutors and senior investigators underscores its seriousness. Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles and duties in 2025 amid longstanding criticism over his ties to Epstein, denies wrongdoing, and the police have not committed to a timeline for a decision on whether to launch a formal investigation. The developments have intensified public scrutiny of both the former royal's conduct and the wider implications of the Epstein files for British public figures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew probed by criminal prosecutors over Epstein scandal as police issue major update after latest file bombshell

This week, I speak with Gary Williams, a professional singer who's performed at Buckingham Palace and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, where the late Martin Parr once photographed him. Over the last two years, Gary has built a thriving business photographing micro weddings at London's iconic town halls, the same venues where Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Lily Allen, and Ed Sheeran have tied the knot. We discuss reaching his photographic milestone of 100 weddings in just two years, the process of building a practice as a newcomer to professional photography, and what he's learned along the way. It's 100 not out. Then Valérie Jardin returns for her monthly Teach Me Street segment, where she offers creative feedback on candid street photos submitted by two photographers, examining the decisions made and the stories behind the images. From the mailbag, Sven in Switzerland is trying to lose the imposter syndrome character on his shoulder, Gene Westberg wonders if he missed a photographic trick during the pandemic, Jussi Jääskeläinen takes us on a hike in North Eastern France, Adriano Henney shares what he loves about Venice, and there's a moment of Spike Milligan silliness, or at least an ode to him, from the Doctor of Reflection, Robin Chun. Plus, news about some very special editions coming in the next four weeks. Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond.

Prince William's three-day visit to Saudi Arabia was always going to be diplomatically significant but it unfolded under the shadow of intensifying headlines back home.

In the most recent round of Epstein file disclosures and congressional activity, a **U.S. lawmaker has publicly asserted that a woman seen in still-released photos of Prince Andrew — shown beneath or in very close proximity to him in images sourced from Jeffrey Epstein's New York residence — was a verified sex-trafficking victim connected to Epstein's network. That claim was made during a House Judiciary Committee hearing where the images were discussed, with the woman's face redacted under federal victim-protection rules; the lawmaker argued these visuals, now tied to trafficking, should have prompted legal action against Andrew at the time. Although the Department of Justice has maintained there's not enough evidence to charge Andrew and he has denied wrongdoing, the sharp political pressure and suggestion that the woman was trafficked under the federal Victims Trafficking Protection Act mark a significant escalation in public scrutiny of his ties to Epstein.Separately, police in the U.K. are now assessing new allegations stemming from the newly released Epstein documents, which include communications indicating that Andrew and Epstein continued to correspond after his 2010 conviction and that Epstein may have supplied women — some later described as trafficking victims — to him at various residences. The files also contain email exchanges that appear to corroborate the authenticity of the infamous photo with Virginia Giuffre (contradicting earlier claims by Andrew and associates that it was fake), and raise questions about Andrew's behavior after his official role as U.K. trade envoy. Buckingham Palace has stated it will support law enforcement assessments, and members of the royal family, including Prince William and Kate, have publicly expressed concern over the ongoing revelations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Woman in ex-Prince Andrew photo was Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking victimBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What happened when Prince William decided to speak out on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's connection to Jeffrey Epstein? And did the statement go far enough? Listen as Chris and Lizzie describe how it all unfolded, while they were in Saudi Arabia with Prince William. They talk us through how they found out that Kensington Palace, and Buckingham Palace, decided to end the royal wall of silence, addressing the allegations against the former-Prince Andrew. So what did Buckingham Palace's statement on Andrew say? How does Prince William really feel about his uncle, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor? And what are the police now looking into? A reminder, that ITV News have put the latest allegations to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor who did not respond, and when he was previously approached for a response he strenuously denied all wrongdoing.

The Epstein scandal is no longer confined to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson — Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are now being pulled into the blast radius.Newly released emails suggest Epstein's presence in the York family orbit was deeper than previously understood. Royal journalist Victoria Murphy calls the messages “really, really uncomfortable reading,” while author Andrew Lownie argues the sisters were not “five-year-old girls” and cannot be dismissed as bystanders.Behind the scenes, sources say Andrew and Ferguson are drifting apart, with Fergie reportedly telling friends she needs money and may distance herself from her ex-husband as she eyes a comeback — potentially even a memoir or television interview. Palace aides are said to be alarmed at the prospect.There is also speculation Andrew himself could consider a book, a move one commentator warns could be “the final nail in the coffin.” Newly released FBI transcripts include references to Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell mocking Ferguson privately, while resurfaced emails show Ferguson praising Epstein after his 2009 jail release.As questions mount about who pushed hardest to sideline Andrew — King Charles or Prince William — the monarchy braces for more turbulence. And amid it all, Buckingham Palace announces a state visit from Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a reminder that diplomacy must continue even as scandal dominates the headlines.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Prince Andrew became embroiled in controversy after revelations about a £750,000 “wedding gift” linked to him raised serious questions about propriety and transparency. The payment was reportedly routed through his bank, and when compliance officers flagged it as unusual, Andrew allegedly told them to “call Buckingham Palace” for confirmation. This response fueled suspicions that he used his royal status to silence scrutiny, deflect questions, and legitimize a transaction that might otherwise have faced deeper investigation.The origins of the money and the nature of the transaction only intensified the scrutiny surrounding Andrew, already under fire for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Critics argued that the episode exposed how Andrew blurred personal financial dealings with royal privilege, undermining trust in the institution. Rather than a simple gift, the payment has been viewed as part of a pattern of questionable financial associations that left the Duke's judgment—and his reliance on the Palace as a shield—under heavy fire.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/prince-andrew-beatrice-wedding-gift-b2049478.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Queen Elizabeth's legacy is complicated — not one of villainy, but of restraint taken too far. She wasn't blind to the troubles surrounding her son or the company he kept. Decades on the throne, surrounded by intelligence briefings and advisors, make ignorance impossible. But her instincts, shaped by a lifetime of protecting the monarchy, led her to do what she'd always done: contain the damage, preserve the Crown, and keep the family's troubles behind palace walls. It wasn't malice — it was control. Yet that control, in moments like these, came at the cost of transparency and trust.She wasn't responsible for the crimes of others, but she bore responsibility for how the institution responded. Her silence  was a reflex born of a system that prizes dignity over honesty. And while that may have once seemed noble, the world changed, and silence began to look like complicity. In the end, she'll be remembered as both the monarch who held her nation together through eras of upheaval and the one who held too tightly when truth demanded release. Queen Elizabeth preserved the monarchy — but she also showed us the limits of what silence can protect.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew came under scrutiny after documents revealed he told bankers to call Buckingham Palace when they questioned a £750,000 payment tied to him. The transaction raised compliance concerns, prompting officials to seek clarity on whether it was legitimate. Instead of offering a straightforward explanation, Andrew reportedly directed them to his Palace office, effectively leaning on his royal status to quell the inquiry.The payment's origins and purpose stirred suspicions, especially given Andrew's already controversial financial dealings and public scandals. The move highlighted how he allegedly relied on the prestige of the monarchy to shield himself from financial accountability, deepening concerns about his judgment and raising questions over whether he abused his royal position for personal protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Newly released emails from Ghislaine Maxwell appear to confirm the authenticity of the infamous photograph showing Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor with his arm around Virginia Giuffre — a photo long disputed by both Maxwell and Andrew. In a 2015 draft statement sent to Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell wrote that in 2001 she was in London when Giuffre met several of her friends, including Andrew, and that a picture was taken “as I imagine she wanted to show it to friends and family,” effectively acknowledging the image was real and that she had introduced them. Maxwell's email also stated Andrew visited her home, although she continued in the correspondence to claim she had no knowledge of “anything improper” occurring between Giuffre and Andrew.The release of these messages comes as part of a massive tranche of documents tied to Epstein that the U.S. Department of Justice disclosed recently. The emails contradict longstanding denials by both Maxwell and Andrew about the meeting and undercut Andrew's past arguments that the photo might have been doctored. Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025, had maintained the photograph supported her allegations that she was trafficked and abused; her family has described the new emails as vindicating her claims. Andrew settled a civil lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability and has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. Buckingham Palace declined to comment, and UK police have so far not launched a full criminal investigation based on these revelations.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:That photo of Andrew with his arm around Virginia Giuffre IS REAL and I introduced them, admits Ghislaine Maxwell in damning emails that blow Pizza Express alibi apart | Daily Mail Online

The emails contradict longstanding denials by both Maxwell and Andrew about the meeting and undercut Andrew's past arguments that the photo might have been doctored. Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025, had maintained the photograph supported her allegations that she was trafficked and abused; her family has described the new emails as vindicating her claims. Andrew settled a civil lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability and has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. Buckingham Palace declined to comment, and UK police have so far not launched a full criminal investigation based on these revelations.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:That photo of Andrew with his arm around Virginia Giuffre IS REAL and I introduced them, admits Ghislaine Maxwell in damning emails that blow Pizza Express alibi apart | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew has officially moved out of Royal Lodge after King Charles the Third ordered him to surrender the lease, with the exit reportedly rushed forward as fresh Epstein-linked revelations hit the front pages. Sources say Andrew traveled to Norfolk “under the cover of darkness,” while movers continue clearing the Windsor property in stages.The pressure is also rising on the legal front. A lawyer for Epstein survivors says a second woman claims she was sent to the UK in 2010 for an encounter with Andrew at Royal Lodge, followed by a tour of Buckingham Palace. British officials are publicly urging Andrew to cooperate with US investigators as fears grow of another major civil settlement.Plus: newly released legal papers allege an exotic dancer demanded $250,000 after claiming sexual acts involving Epstein and Andrew, Vice President JD Vance says he is “open” to Andrew being called to testify, and royal author Andrew Lownie suggests Sarah Ferguson may have gone overseas as scrutiny intensifies.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Recent revelations from Jeffrey Epstein's files have reignited scrutiny of Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor's relationship with the disgraced financier, including new details surrounding a Russian woman that Epstein allegedly offered to set him up with. Newly released emails show that Epstein described this woman — identified in some reports as a model — as “beautiful” and “trustworthy” and proposed introducing her to Andrew in 2010, shortly after Epstein's release from house arrest, a period when Andrew had publicly claimed to have ended his association with him. Correspondence also suggests that Andrew continued to maintain some level of contact with Epstein, even inviting him to Buckingham Palace for dinner and appearing open to arrangements that blurred personal, social, and potentially exploitative boundaries amid a broader climate of scandal.These revelations come on top of longstanding allegations from other women that they were trafficked by Epstein to meet or engage sexually with Andrew — most notably Virginia Giuffre, who claimed Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell forced her into sexual encounters with Andrew on multiple occasions in the early 2000s, beginning when she was a minor; that claim was settled out of court in 2022 without his admitting wrongdoing. Additionally, a new accuser has come forward, asserting she was sent to the UK for a sexual encounter with him at his former residence, Royal Lodge, further deepening public concern and criticism of his prolonged ties to Epstein's network. These developments have compounded the reputational damage to Andrew, contributing to his loss of royal titles and ongoing calls for transparency and accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'Beautiful' young Russian who Epstein set up for date with Andrew revealed as model who said UK trip was an 'adventure'

Il riverbero del caso Epstein nel Regno Unito non ha riguardato solo Buckingham Palace, con il coinvolgimento del principe Andrea, ma sta portando malumori anche a Downing Street. Il governo ha infatti trasmesso alla polizia un dossier relativo alla gestione di documenti riservati da parte di Peter Mandelson, nel periodo in cui era ministro per le Imprese. Ne parliamo con Giorgia Scaturro, producer e giornalista, nostra collaboratrice a Londra.

The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein continues to cast a long and damaging shadow over Prince Andrew's life and reputation years after Epstein's death. Renewed scrutiny from released documents and ongoing media attention has kept Andrew's association with the disgraced financier in the public eye, preventing him from escaping the scandal's legacy. As new files and photographs tied to Epstein's network emerge, they repeatedly pull Andrew back into headlines and public debate, reinforcing perceptions of his closeness to Epstein and deepening the stain on his personal brand. This relentless replay of past connections has contributed to his dramatic fall from grace within the British royal family, stripping him of titles and duties once considered untouchable, and ensuring that his name remains intimately linked with one of the most reviled figures of recent history.The repercussions of those connections go beyond headlines: they have reshaped Andrew's personal and familial life, illustrating how Epstein's influence still haunts him. Public pressure and reputational damage played a significant role in Buckingham Palace's decisions to remove his royal honors and have effectively exiled him from the traditional spheres of royal duty, forcing him to relinquish roles and relocate from long-held residences. In private life, the effects ripple outward as family relationships are strained and his social standing erodes, with estrangement from some relatives reportedly linked to his handling of the controversy. This ongoing fallout shows that Epstein's shadow remains a defining and unyielding force in Prince Andrew's story—to many observers, a ghost that will not be laid to rest.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing intense scrutiny after the latest release of three million Jeffrey Epstein files.Charlene, Chris and Lizzie have recorded this special episode on what the latest #Epstein revelations mean for the former Prince, and how it will impact the wider #royal family.Previously unseen photos appear to show Andrew crouched over an unidentified woman. The undated images have no caption but appear to show the former duke touching the woman's stomach.Various emails also reveal the extent of the friendship between the former royal couple and Jeffrey Epstein. Screenshots and scans appear to show Andrew exchanged emails with Jeffrey Epstein about a “beautiful” Russian woman and invited him to Buckingham Palace in 2010. This raises questions about Andrew's earlier claims he had cut contact with the convicted paedophile after Epstein's conviction.

Si vous êtes un fan de la première heure, vous avez déjà écouté le premier épisode de Scandales sur Meghan et Harry, sorti en mars 2022. À l'époque, les Sussex étaient installés en Californie depuis peu, tout le monde s'intéressait au couple qui avait osé claquer la porte de Buckingham Palace, et on ne savait pas trop ce qu'ils allaient devenir… Des héros ou des losers, ou quelque chose entre les deux.  Depuis, il s'est passé 4 ans, autrement dit un siècle dans le monde fou fou des célébrités. Elizabeth II est morte, le prince Charles a été couronné roi, Meghan et Harry ont fait des annonces pharaoniques et signé de juteux contrats, Harry a sorti son livre explosif, Kate a annoncé son cancer… Et on peut se dire que c'est un bon moment pour répondre à cette question : que sont-ils devenus, ou que ne sont-ils pas devenus d'ailleurs ? Comment sont-ils tombés dans les limbes de la détestation des Britanniques et dans quelle mesure ont-ils même fini par saouler les Américains ? Et enfin, l'interrogation ultime : Harry pourrait-il finir par revenir au Royaume-Uni, comme certains le prédisent déjà ?  Au micro de Scandales ce succèdent :Elizabeth Holmes, journaliste américaine basée à Los AngelesMarc Roche, journaliste spécialiste de la famille royale britannique et auteur de Ma vie chez les WindsorNicole Prieur, psychologue spécialiste des relations familiales. Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia.

Newly released U.S. Department of Justice documents reveal a far deeper and longer-running relationship between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein than previously acknowledged, including emails exchanged well after Andrew publicly claimed he had cut ties. The correspondence shows Epstein being invited to Buckingham Palace for “lots of privacy,” discussions about meeting women, financial contacts described as “super flush with cash,” and warm exchanges continuing into 2011. The files also include emails involving Sarah Ferguson requesting emergency cash, a controversial photograph now circulating online, and renewed scrutiny over Andrew's failure to cooperate with U.S. investigators. Commentators warn the revelations reopen questions about palace oversight, accountability, and whether King Charles has gone far enough in sidelining his brother — with some arguing only a future King William will fully sever Andrew from royal life.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

After the Queen's death in 2022, Charles inherited not only the crown — but his brother's scandal. The new king faced an impossible choice: protect the family or protect the throne. With William's firm backing, Charles moved quietly but decisively to isolate Andrew. Invitations stopped coming. Funding was cut. The doors of Buckingham Palace closed. Behind the scenes, the monarchy was cleansing itself to survive another century.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Radar Online claims Queen Camilla is feeling territorial about Kate's future role, with sources alleging palace figures have warned Camilla that Catherine will one day be queen and future “perks and influence” will shift accordingly. The report also links the tension to Kate's headline-grabbing tiara moment at a recent state banquet. Separate reporting says King Charles is pushing senior royals to end the Harry and William feud, with one insider quoting him as saying, “Everyone needs to grow up,” and suggesting Charles is looking to Kate as a steady bridge between the two sides.We also have Kate's solo away day in Bradford and Wakefield, braving Storm Chandra to spotlight children's trauma therapy and community rugby, plus Charles and Camilla hosting Holocaust Memorial Day guests at Buckingham Palace.

In December 2010, Prince Andrew was photographed taking a casual stroll through New York's Central Park alongside Jeffrey Epstein—just days after Epstein had completed a 13-month jail sentence for soliciting sex from a minor. The image, captured by a paparazzo and later published globally, showed the Duke of York walking shoulder-to-shoulder with a convicted sex offender, deep in conversation. The timing of the meeting and the relaxed nature of their interaction sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace and ignited a public firestorm, as it contradicted any attempt to downplay the depth of Andrew's relationship with Epstein. Far from a mere social encounter, this post-prison rendezvous strongly implied that Andrew maintained ties with Epstein even after his crimes were widely known.The photograph became a defining symbol of the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew, undercutting any narrative that he had distanced himself from Epstein after the latter's conviction. The optics were damning: a senior member of the British royal family publicly associating with a man now globally recognized as a serial predator. What made it even more damaging was that the meeting wasn't a brief, unavoidable encounter—it reportedly took place over several days, during a stay at Epstein's $77 million Manhattan townhouse. That visit, combined with the Central Park stroll, cemented suspicions that Andrew either underestimated the gravity of Epstein's crimes or simply didn't care, both of which would later contribute to his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview and eventual withdrawal from royal duties.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/jeffrey-epstein-wanted-park-pic-28051494Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Netflix's Scoop, a high-profile dramatic film about Prince Andrew's disastrous BBC Newsnight interview — the 2019 broadcast in which he attempted to explain his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — was announced and released to significant attention as it revisits a moment that helped derail his public life. The film, based on Sam McAlister's memoir Scoops and starring roles by Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper, and Rufus Sewell, retells how BBC producers secured the interview and how that event unfolded on camera, showing the palace negotiations and Andrew's statements that were widely panned and mocked. Scoop dropped on Netflix on April 5, 2024 and has since generated discussion not just as entertainment but as a cultural recounting of one of the most consequential media moments involving the British royal family in recent memory.While this film drew interest from audiences and critics intrigued by the behind-the-scenes story of a globally infamous interview, Buckingham Palace did not publicly endorse or celebrate the movie — and its official reactions have been minimal to non-committal. When asked if the palace had reached out to producers or commented on the dramatization, Sam McAlister jokingly noted she hadn't heard from the institution, implying there was no formal engagement from royal spokespeople about the project. The lack of an official positive palace response — combined with the enduring sensitivity around Andrew's role in the Epstein scandal — suggests the establishment prefers to distance itself from dramatizations that revisit and potentially amplify a deeply embarrassing episode for the monarchy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Frederic Fekkai, the celebrity hairstylist and luxury brand mogul, was named in court documents by Virginia Roberts Giuffre as one of the individuals to whom Jeffrey Epstein allegedly trafficked her for sex. Giuffre's sworn testimony placed Fekkai among a group of elite men who, according to her account, participated in Epstein's trafficking ring by engaging in sexual acts with her while she was underage and under Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's control. Fekkai has denied the allegations and has not been charged with any crime, but his inclusion in the unsealed legal filings tied him to the wider web of high-profile names associated with Epstein's network of abuse and exploitation.Unlike some of the more politically prominent figures in Epstein's circle, Fekkai's alleged involvement drew relatively little media attention, despite the gravity of the accusations. He had previously cultivated an image rooted in fashion, luxury, and celebrity culture, with clientele that included some of the most powerful women in the world. His reported proximity to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell underscores the breadth and diversity of Epstein's social reach—stretching from Wall Street to Hollywood, from Buckingham Palace to beauty salons. While no further legal action has been taken against Fekkai, the mention of his name in Giuffre's testimony serves as yet another example of how Epstein's circle was studded with individuals from every corner of elite society, many of whom have faced little to no accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstein-flaunted-girls-after-his-arrest-at-frederic-fekkais-hair-salon-for-the-starsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew's downfall has accelerated sharply in the wake of fresh allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein and the explosive release of Virginia Giuffre's memoir, Nobody's Girl. The book recounts new details about Andrew's alleged sexual encounters with Giuffre while she was being trafficked as a minor by Epstein. These revelations reignited public outrage and renewed scrutiny over Andrew's long-denied relationship with both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Buckingham Palace has reportedly been forced into damage control, with King Charles III supporting Andrew's decision to give up his “Duke of York” title and remaining royal honors. The palace has publicly stated that the new allegations must be fully investigated, signaling growing institutional distance from Andrew as pressure mounts for full transparency and accountability.Adding to his disgrace, newly surfaced claims allege that Andrew attempted to orchestrate an online smear campaign against Giuffre to salvage his reputation. According to The Guardian's coverage of the memoir, the prince and his aides tried to hire internet trolls to harass Giuffre online and even sought access to her private information, including her Social Security number. Reports indicate that the Metropolitan Police have opened an inquiry into whether Andrew misused his royal security detail or other public resources during this smear campaign. Parliamentarians are also reportedly pushing to strip him of any remaining titles and privileges, as his reputation continues to collapse under the weight of new evidence and public disgust over his conduct.Also...Ian Maxwell, brother of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, publicly smeared Virginia Giuffre by labeling her “the real monster” in the Epstein saga, claiming she was the one who “ruined lives.” In a tone dripping with contempt, Maxwell reversed the narrative of survivor and perpetrator, portraying Giuffre not as a victim of child sex trafficking, but as a malicious force responsible for the downfall of others. He claimed that Giuffre had “profited” from her accusations and implied that her allegations lacked credibility—completely ignoring the fact that his sister was convicted in a U.S. federal court, and that Giuffre's testimony and civil suits helped bring global attention to Epstein's trafficking ring.Maxwell's comments weren't just tone-deaf—they were a grotesque display of gaslighting and reputational warfare against a survivor of child abuse. Rather than addressing his sister's crimes or acknowledging the systemic exploitation she helped carry out, Ian Maxwell chose to attack one of the few women courageous enough to confront the monster head-on. His remarks attempted to muddy the moral waters, deflect guilt, and assassinate the character of a woman who endured horrific abuse. In doing so, Ian Maxwell made it clear that his family's legacy of denial and elite entitlement is alive and well—even in disgrace.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
