Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It was quite the weekend on the Epstein front. Latest

(00:02):
of three million documents dumped by the DOJ throwing up
the usual names many time over. As the photo of
Andrew mount Beaton Windsor seemingly finishing off whatever reputation and
standing he had left in Britain, Sakir Starmers now called
for him to testify before the US Congress. The royal
commentator Richard fitz Williams as with us from London Morning.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Does the photo make it worse or is the damage
already done?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
The damage was done probably quite a long time ago,
certainly with the newsnight interview, and then subsequently Andrew Mountbatten
Windsor was in disgrace, and of course then he lost
his military ranks, his titles, his patriages and so forth.
Then there is more, and it's quite extraordinary. Looking at

(00:46):
the papers in front of me, there is Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,
I'm all fours on those, an unidentified woman beneath him.
Quite utterly bizarre. And of course, as you know, three million,
apparently pieces of evidence, the Epstein files have been released,
and what is in the rest of them? We will

(01:08):
be learning while really learning with various emails that both
Andrew and Baton Windsor and his ex wife Sarah Ferguson
were undoubtedly deeply involved for a large number of years
with the disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. No doubt of that.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
The Starmer intervention that Andrew needs to go to the
States and testify, he has no power to compel them
to do that. I'm assuming it will never happen.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
You assume, certainly what people have been assuming. But there's
no doubt that the Prime Minister has toughened his line
and if Andrew moun Baton Windsor were to do that,
it would n doubtedly be a course elbt. But the
problem is, given the emails we've seen, given the photographs,

(01:56):
remember the photograph for example very recently where he was
lying across five unidentified women, presumably at Sandringham. The whole
litany of problems, and undoubtedly what has to be frank
lies because some of these emails where he was connected

(02:16):
with email Epstein, they occurred at that period where he
claimed in that infamous Newsnight broadcast that he had not
been in touch. So the Prime Minister undoubtedly in theory
this he can't be compelled but veryous evidence, for example,

(02:37):
that a woman was trafficked supposedly to Royal Lodge. So
it's been alleged that could, for example, mean the investigation
were the police minded. So to do with the relevant evidence,
you just don't know from day to day. And this
is the problem Paras have had all along dealing with that.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Correct NIC's sketch up. Richard Richards William the other one
as Mandleson, as I mentioned earlier in the programs, I've
heard of him standing as under pantses. He's in a
hotel room seemingly with a woman in a bathrobe, having
a chat about some paperwork anyway, point, and he also
got money, allegedly, he claims read the money. This happened
two thousand and three, two thousand and four money from Epstein.
He claims not to remember any of it, denies at all,
et cetera, et cetera. Point is, there's nothing illegal here,

(03:21):
is there? And so if you go back to its
very core, what the Democrats are looking to do is
just dump all this stuff in the hope that it
leads directly back to Trump's crook they can impeach him
and change the world. But none of it seems to
be happening so far. For more from the mic Asking Breakfast,
