Police arrive at Sandringham on Prince Andrew's 66th BIRTHDAY amid Epstein probe
from The Royal Tea
Samara Gill lays out the accelerating downfall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as the Metropolitan Police begin “initial inquiries” into claims that royal protection officers may have turned a blind eye during trips linked to Jeffrey Epstein. What began as a scandal over Andrew’s friendship with the convicted sex offender has now escalated into serious questions about institutional accountability, palace security and whether sworn officers failed to report what they witnessed.Gill examines explosive allegations that coded phrases such as “Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly” were allegedly used to admit female visitors into Buckingham Palace without standard logging, alongside reports of up to 90 UK flights connected to Epstein’s private jet, including arrivals at Stansted after his 2008 conviction. With references in the Epstein files to women entering royal residences and growing scrutiny over record-keeping, background checks and security protocols, the focus shifts from salacious headlines to potential breaches of safeguarding and national security.Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor denies any wrongdoing and previously settled a civil claim without admission of liability, but Gill asks the unavoidable question: why has there been no visible escalation when others have faced swift action? As comparisons are drawn with investigations into other public figures, this episode explores whether the Andrew-Epstein scandal is evolving into a broader reckoning over royal protection, institutional cover-up claims, and who knew what inside the Palace as the Epstein files continue to reverberate across the UK.Police arrive at Sandringham on Prince Andrew's 66th birthday as NINE forces investigate Epstein 'sex trafficking' claims Hosted on Acast.
