Royal Insider Warns Andrew's Tell-All Book Could Be 'Final Nail in Monarchy's Coffin'
King Charles III is prepared to support police examining allegations against Prince Andrew, as persistent rumours suggest the former royal may be writing a sensational 'kiss and tell' book about the Jeffrey Epstein affair. According to a former Royal photographer, such a memoir could deliver a catastrophic blow to the monarchy's reputation.
Mounting Pressure and Police Investigations
Buckingham Palace announced on Monday that the King stands ready to assist Thames Valley Police, who are currently assessing reports that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor provided confidential information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2010. This development follows the recent release of Epstein files, which included uncomfortable images of Andrew, though he has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
The police department, covering areas west of London including Andrew's former residence, is also examining separate allegations that Epstein flew a young woman to Britain for encounters with Andrew that same year. In a statement, the palace emphasised the King's profound concern over the ongoing allegations, declaring, "While the specific claims in question are for Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police we stand ready to support them as you would expect."
Rumours of a Devastating Memoir
Former Royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner has raised alarm bells, suggesting that Andrew could be penning a tell-all book following the latest Epstein file disclosures. Pelham Turner warned, "There are also constant rumours that Andrew is writing a kiss-and-tell book on the whole affair, which could be, if it materializes, the final nail in the coffin for the monarchy."
This potential publication comes amid Andrew's relocation from Royal Lodge to Sandringham in the middle of the night, a move reportedly triggered by the file release. Pelham Turner added that increased pressure may force Andrew to attend a court appearance in America, describing it as his final fall from grace, with the British public and media now "scenting blood."
Royal Family Circles the Wagons
While several senior Royals, including Prince William, Princess Kate, and Prince Edward, have issued statements expressing sympathy for Epstein's victims, Pelham Turner characterised their actions as "circling the wagon" to protect the institution. He noted, "William and Kate have issued a statement this afternoon, saying their greatest sympathies lie with the victims. Gradually, the Royals are circling the wagons metaphorically with Prince Edward stating he was extremely concerned about the victims too."
The Mountbatten-Windsor family's connections to Epstein have plagued the Royal Family for over a decade, and this scandal shows no signs of abating. During a recent visit to Lancashire, King Charles faced public scrutiny when one individual shouted, "How long have you known about Andrew?" amidst a largely supportive crowd.
Broader Implications for the Monarchy
Pelham Turner highlighted the broader risks, stating, "As head of the Royal Family King Charles will be facing a barrage of ongoing criticism which does not bode well for him in U.K. and even worse the upcoming visits to America." The Epstein affair continues to cast a long shadow, threatening to undermine the monarchy's stability and public trust for years to come.
With Buckingham Palace maintaining a stance of cooperation with authorities, the situation remains fluid. The Mirror has reached out for further comment, but the potential for a damaging memoir looms large, posing an unprecedented challenge to the Royal Family's future.
