Andrew and Epstein scandal
The king’s documentary comes at a time of intense scrutiny surrounding his younger brother, Andrew.
For years, Andrew has faced scrutiny over his association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He also faced allegations of sexual assault, made by the late Virginia Giuffre.
Ms Giuffre alleged she was made to sleep with Andrew on three separate occasions when she was 17 after being trafficked by Epstein.
Andrew has always vehemently denied the allegations.
Last October, following the release of Ms Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, which detailed her allegations against Andrew, King Charles initiated a formal process to remove Andrew’s remaining royal titles and honours.
Andrew was also ordered to leave his home, Royal Lodge, in Windsor. He left the property this week. He’ll now live on the king’s Sandringham Estate, according to reports.
Files in Jeffrey Epstein scandal
Last Friday, the US Department of Justice released more than three millions files relating to Epstein and his crimes.
Within these files, images appeared to show Andrew kneeling on all fours over an unidentified female lying on the ground. No context has been supplied for the images. It’s also unclear when and where they were taken.
Following the release of the files, a second woman has come forward. She has alleged she was sent to the UK by Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew. This allegedly happened at Royal Lodge in 2010. Royal Insider contacted representatives for Andrew on these allegations.
Andrew’s association with Epstein
For some years, Andrew’s ties to Epstein has made headlines continuously.
In his BBC Newsnight interview in 2019, Andrew claimed he cut contact with the disgraced financier in late 2010. This came after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

However, emails that emerged last year appeared to show Andrew allegedly in contact with Epstein in early 2011.
Andrew has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Being named or pictured among the Epstein files is not an indication of wrongdoing.
