But he has been stripped of shedloads of fake titles and unearned honours as explosive disclosures contained in emails in the possession of the US Congress hit the fan this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2011, the former Duke of York tried to get his police bodyguard to dig up dirt on Giuffre. He wanted to smear Giuffre just hours before a picture of him with his arm around her waist\u2014when she was the 17-year old\u2014was published.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The late <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/news\/dont-let-tories-use-queens-death-to-push-myth-of-national-unity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> knew all about it. Prince Andrew told Ed Perkins, the queen\u2019s deputy press secretary, that he had asked his personal protection officer to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Andrew claimed Giuffre had a criminal record in the United States\u2014this was a lie. And he got hold of her social security number illegally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He continued to visit Jeffrey Epstein in New York after the financier\u2019s conviction for child sex offences in 2008. Photographs showed him opening the door of Epstein\u2019s palatial East Side townhouse in December 2010 before the pair had a cosy stroll through Central Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The new emails reveal that Prince Andrew secretly told Epstein, \u201cWe are in this together,\u201d and, \u201cWe\u2019ll play some more soon,\u201d in February 2011. He later claimed to Emily Maitles on BBC Newsnight that he cut all ties three months before those emails were sent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other newly seen emails suggest that Epstein set the paedophile prince up on a dinner date with a second young woman. She says Epstein sexually abused her for years.<\/p>\n<p>Another email shows that the prince\u2019s family maintained ties with Epstein. His former wife\u2014grifter Sarah Ferguson\u2014and daughters princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were the first people to visit Epstein after his release from jail for child sex offences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson begged Epstein to lend her up to $100,000 and pleaded to be allowed to visit his notorious private island.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She has also been stripped of her title after emails showed she called Epstein her \u201csupreme friend\u201d months after she claimed she had cut ties.<\/p>\n<p>During Prince Andrew\u2019s car crash\u00a0Newsnight\u00a0interview in November 2019 he denied he abused Giuffre. He claimed to be at a branch of Pizza Express in Woking with his daughter Beatrice when one rape took place.<\/p>\n<p>He said Giuffre\u2019s description of him as sweaty at a nightclub was untrue because an \u201coverdose of adrenaline in the Falklands war\u201d had left him unable to sweat.<\/p>\n<p>Four days later, Prince Andrew stepped back from royal duties.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prince Andrew was not Epstein\u2019s friend despite sexual abuse. Their friendship was built on the sexual exploitation of others. Epstein never hid his systematic abuse of underage girls\u2014it was his unique selling point.<\/p>\n<p>For more than two decades, Prince Andrew partied with Epstein and Maxwell who is serving 20 years for sexual abuse of minors.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein and Maxwell were at the heart of a grooming gang which served up teenage girls to be abused by rich and powerful men.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prince Andrew attended naked pool parties and was treated to numerous foot massages by a \u201charem\u201d of adolescent girls.<\/p>\n<p>Men like Prince Andrew monetise friendships and family relationships and use them to advance their own interests. That is why both Epstein and Harvey Weinstein were guests at the lavish 18th birthday party held for Prince Andrew\u2019s daughter Beatrice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div data-post-id=\"166768\" class=\"insert-page insert-page-166768 \">\n<div class=\"article-embed-align-left article-embed-holder\" data-align=\"left\" data-articleselect=\"\" data-headline-override=\"\" data-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"article-embed-image\">\n      <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"article-embed-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/comment\/starmers-house-of-cards-in-freefall-after-mandelson-sacking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#13;<br \/>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" class=\"OF-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"Peter Mandelson\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2297272408_108978c186_k-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2297272408_108978c186_k-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2297272408_108978c186_k-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2297272408_108978c186_k-1.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2297272408_108978c186_k-1.jpg\" class=\"OF-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"Peter Mandelson\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2297272408_108978c186_k-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2297272408_108978c186_k-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2297272408_108978c186_k-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\"\/>    <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"article-embed-headline\"><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"article-embed-anchor-headline\" href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/comment\/starmers-house-of-cards-in-freefall-after-mandelson-sacking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starmer\u2019s house of cards in freefall after Mandelson sacking<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Epstein was arrested nine days later, and Weinstein\u2019s sexual abuses sparked the #MeToo movement.<\/p>\n<p>Men like Prince Andrew, Epstein and Trump see behaviour that would disgust most people as an affirmation of their power and right to dominate others.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein was a guest at a party hosted by the queen at Windsor Castle in 2000. After Epstein was released from prison, rumours began to swirl. So the queen invested Prince Andrew with the insignia of a King Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order\u2014the highest honour she could give him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The royal family represents the worst of all worlds. They depend on outdated notions of respect and duty but pursue personal gain as ruthlessly as any Dragon\u2019s Den entrepreneur.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prince Andrew dined out on his royal connections, using Buckingham Palace to impress the billionaire son-in-law of deposed Tunisian dictator Ben Ali. \u201cAir Miles Andy\u201d flew to Egypt with David \u201cSpotty\u201d Rowland\u2014a businessman who gave Ferguson \u00a350,000\u2014to dine with the corrupt president of Kazakhstan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s son-in-law bought Prince Andrew\u2019s unwanted mansion for \u00a315 million, a cool \u00a33 million more than the asking price.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Andrew once claimed to be too \u201chonourable for his own good\u201d. But he represents the sense of entitlement of the \u201cDroit de Seigneur\u201d\u2014the right of feudal lords to rape peasant women on their wedding night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But that was compounded with the industrial-scale commodification of women perfected by the capitalist system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The voices of sexually exploited women and children have been silenced by the monarchy, judiciary, police, church, CEOs and politicians. This complicity has enabled the perpetration of abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Andrew and Epstein, like so many powerful sexual abusers, were not exposed by journalists, friends or family members or law enforcement agencies. They were only brought down because the women involved refused to be intimidated into silence any longer.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Prince Andrew was forced to cancel an extravagant birthday party for Sarah Ferguson, to be held at their shared Windsor mansion. But they won\u2019t be left on the streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Giuffre took her life in April. She was just 41. Her relatives said the latest revelations \u201cexpose the lengths to which those implicated try to discredit and defame survivors. The truth will surface and there will be no shadows in which they can hide\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The royal family has done everything possible to protect Prince Andrew. Not one of the parasites has bothered to express any compassion for what the victims of this grooming gang have endured.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source socialistworker.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Family was forced to strip Prince Andrew of some of his fake titles amid new revelations Prince Andrew (Pic: Titanic Belfast\/Flickr creative commons) Prince Andrew is the shit that the royal family just cannot scrape from their shoes, however hard they wipe their well-shod feet.
