Prince Andrew faces ‘unprecedented’ pressure as there’s ‘not much’ King Charles can do after Epstein documents dump: expert

Prince Andrew is trodding uncharted waters after being named in the latest Jeffrey Epstein document dump, and it seems as though there’s “not much” his brother, King Charles, can do about it.

The royal family is now facing “unprecedented” pressure, according to a royal commentator, who says the monarch made a “mistake” by inviting the disgraced Duke of York to Sandringham for Christmas.

“We’re only six days into it and the pressure on Prince Andrew and the royal family is now mounting to a level which is almost unprecedented,” royal expert and commentator Charles Rae told GB News.

“We have a King who is now under great pressure to do something about Andrew. There is not much he can do. He’s been stripped of his HRH and he’s not allowed to use it.”

“He cannot represent any of these charities or his military functions. He’s sitting in his nearly 30 room almost palace,” Rae added.

Rae then noted that Andrew could soon be “forced out” of Royal Lodge and have his private security funding yanked away from his brother.

“Charles has already told him he can carry on paying for the upkeep of the place,” he said, adding that “the King may stop paying for Andrew’s private security which amounts to $3.8m a year.”

The disgraced Duke of York has lived at the royal residence, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, since 2004 after signing a 75-year lease agreement the year prior.

The Royal Lodge previously belonged to the Queen Mother until she died in 2002. Andrew currently shares the 31-room Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

Andrew’s name, as well as over 200 others, appeared in court documents that contain a gross accusation of inappropriate touching by the British royal. 

They were filed in a since-settled defamation lawsuit that Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre brought against the late sicko’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2015.

Unsealed docs reveal that one alleged Epstein victim, Johanna Sjoberg, said in a 2016 deposition that Andrew put his hand on her breast as she sat on his lap at the financier’s Manhattan townhouse in 2001. 

She also posed for a photo alongside Giuffre, whose breast was groped using a puppet of Andrew, Sjoberg testified.

“They put the puppet on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the puppet’s hand on Virginia’s breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took a photo,” she said of Maxwell and Epstein. 

Andrew has denied the accusation, which was revealed and reported on in a previous document dump, according to Reuters.

The disgraced royal was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and no longer holds an HRH title.
