I know Charles wanted to be kind and, as one courtier told me, \u2018you can\u2019t divorce your brother.\u2019 But by this stage, the US justice department had not only formally subpoenaed Andrew to talk to them (surprise, surprise, he never did), but had started a huge investigation into the \u2018Epstein files\u2019: the ring of rich and powerful men who had been ensnared by sex with underage, abused and trafficked girls.<\/p>\n
More details were always going to come out – and they did. The latest move from the palace, telling Andrew he could no longer use his Duke of York titles or honours, came as the King was criticised for being weak after Andrew was revealed to have lied in cutting off contact with Epstein and the Metropolitan police launched an investigation into his 2011 request to \u2018dig up dirt\u2019 on Giuffre. Crucially he hasn\u2019t been stripped of his titles – he\u2019s just agreed not to use them. And he and Fergie have not been forthcoming when it comes to moving out of their 30-room Royal Lodge where they pay nominal rent Instead, requesting that if they are to leave the residence, they require two properties in exchange.<\/p>\n
And, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve heard the last of this. I fear more will come out, making Andrew\u2019s denials look even more paper thin. Prince William wants this sorted during his father\u2019s reign as he understandably views his errant uncle as a risk to the monarchy. Now, Parliament has got involved, with the Prime Minister saying he supports an investigation. It\u2019s dangerous times for the King as this overshadows all his good work. He hasn\u2019t gone far enough and I firmly believe that more needs to be done. Watch this space\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
