Seven UK police forces investigating Epstein files as Andrew faces 'sex trafficking' probe

from The Royal Tea

Prince Andrew is facing a widening UK investigation after seven police forces began reviewing evidence from the Epstein files, including flight logs linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s jet and up to 90 trips into Stansted Airport. Mark Dolan speaks to royal commentator Kinsey Schofield about the growing legal and constitutional pressure on the monarchy.Schofield warns that once “multiple police forces start reviewing evidence, the story stops being a past embarrassment and becomes a present constitutional threat”, adding that the case keeps the Royal Family tied to Jeffrey Epstein in the public mind and represents “a serious credibility crisis for the institution”. She says the King has tried to remove Andrew from public life but the latest disclosures risk turning a contained scandal into a defining issue of his reign.The interview also examines the flight records, the coordinated police work across Essex, Thames Valley and the Met, and the wider political fallout, including Hillary Clinton’s calls for testimony and questions around Bill Clinton’s links in the files. Schofield concludes the affair is “a stain on the institution” and warns the future of the monarchy now depends on drawing a clear line under the Prince Andrew Epstein scandal.Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor strenuously denies any wrongdoing.
