Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calorogus Shark Media. Hello, Welcome to Palace Intry Game. Your
host Mark Francis, Prince Andrew and the secrets that could
shatter the Monarchy. The truth, it seems, may be even
more dangerous than the rumors. In entitled The Raise and
(00:26):
Fall of the House of York, historian Andrew Lowney has
peeled back the layers of Prince Andrew's private and public life,
and what's revealed is a web of sex, scandal, espionage
and breathtaking recklessness that insiders now say could bury the
royal family for good. In a serialized extract published by
(00:48):
The Daily Mail, Lowney details how Prince Andrew's long and
sordid ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein extended far
beyond awkward photo ops and the now infamous BBC News
Night interview. The book, based on four years of research
in hundreds of sources, claims that Andrew was not just
a frequent guest at Epstein's homes, including his notorious Private Island,
(01:13):
but was deeply entangled in Epstein's web of blackmail, exploitation
and influence from hosting Epstein at Bawmorl and Sandringham to
jetting off with Gleaine Maxwell and partying with Russian models
aboard yachts and Entai Go Go bars. Andrew's behavior, Louny alleges,
was not only sex obsessed, but often shockingly indiscreet. Former
(01:36):
staff and insiders say he was a mainstay at Epstein's properties,
where sex toys and women's lingerie were found in his room,
and where young women were reportedly paid thousands in cash
after spending time with the Prince. Epstein, said to have
been Trump's go to guy for fun, was described as
treating Andrew like a trophy, an unwitting Super Bowl prize
(01:59):
to go off to world leaders and intelligence operatives. Lowney's
sources suggest Epstein may have passed Andrew's secrets, possibly including
compromising photos and videos, to intelligence agencies in Russia, Israel,
and even Libya. There are concerns, according to multiple insiders,
that Epstein used Andrew as bait in a broader scheme
(02:23):
of access and blackmail. And then there's Virginia Jeffrey. Her
two thousand and one photo with Andrew his arm around
her waist, glene smiling in the background became the image
that changed everything. Though Andrew has always denied meeting her
Geoffrey's sworn Affi David's allege sexual encounters with the Duke
in London, New York and during an orgy on Epstein's island.
(02:45):
Multiple witnesses back elements of her account, including former Epstein's
staff who recalled Andrew's behavior with young women. Geoffrey herself
died earlier this year, aged forty one. Lowney also exposes
how Andrews defend and inside Buckingham Palace allegedly sought to
suppress damaging stories for years, even pressuring media outlets by
(03:07):
dangling access to the Royals. One BBC producer who uncovered
extensive evidence about Andrew's relationship with Epstein was reportedly forced
to hand her material to the News Night teen, only
to be erased from credit when the now infamous interview aired.
Despite Epstein's twenty nineteen death, under circumstances that remain fiercely disputed,
(03:30):
his legacy still threatens to ensnare those he once counted
as friends. Files seized by authorities, some possibly held by
foreign powers, are believed to contain material that could further
implicate Andrew. One former Pallace staffer put it bluntly if
the unconditional truth is ever released, the British public would
try to impeach the royal family. In one act, Serb
(03:53):
Trump allegedly handed Andrew a list of messuses after the
two men were overheard engaged in what's been described as
an extremely vulgar conversation about women. The exchange is said
to have taken place around the year two thousand, shortly
after the pair were introduced through mutual acquaintances Glain Maxwell
and Jeffrey Epstein. According to Andrew Lowney's new book entitled
(04:14):
The Rise and Fall of the House of York, Epstein
once remarked that Andrew was more obsessed with women than me.
The book goes on to describe an encounter at an
event where Trump and Andrew were heard speaking in graphic
terms about women, with Trump reportedly producing a typed list
of messuses for the Prince. Lowney also alleges that during
(04:34):
a family gathering in twenty thirteen, Prince Harry and Prince
Andrew got into a physical altercation after Andrew made disparaging
comments behind Harry's back. According to the book, Harry confronted
his uncle, calling him a coward and a scuffle ensued,
leaving Andrew with a bloody nose. Harry's team has issued
a firm denial stating I can confirm with Prince Harry
(04:55):
and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor
did Prince Andrew ever make that comments about the Duchess
of Sussex to Prince Harry. But The Daily Mail has
not been deterred by the denials, publishing further excerpts from
the book, among them a disturbing account from Epstein's former driver,
Ivan Novakov, who claims he regularly ferried young women to
(05:17):
Prince Andrew during his visits to New York. Navakov alleges
that on one occasion, he drove the Prince and two
young women, who he estimated were about eighteen years old,
to a hotel. He claimed the goals were using cocaine
in the car while Andrew was making out with one
of them. Lowney's biography, which draws on years of research
and numerous sources, paints a portrait of Andrew as a
(05:39):
man who viewed his royal position as a passport to
excess and rarely felt the need to hide it. In
The Spectator, Alexander Laman wondered if Andrew's reputation could sink
any lower writing. While most might sympathize with Harry in
this situation, the Duke of York got his own back
a few years later, parently telling the future Duke of
(06:01):
Sussex that his marriage to Megan Markel would not last
a month. He allegedly said that he was an opportunist
and that she was too old for Harry, adding that
his nephew was making the biggest mistake ever and accusing
him of not having conducted any due diligence into who
he was marrying. For good measure, Andrew apparently described Harry
as bonkers. Stories like this are all good gossip, be fun,
(06:24):
but will they stand up. Lowney has published best selling
and similarly attention grabbing biographies of the Mountain Battens and
the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. He has stated that
the various stories within his latest book, which include revelations
that Andrew's friend Jeffrey Epstein sold his secrets to some
of the most repressive regimes and dictators in the world,
are double, if not treble sourced. When it is published
(06:49):
next week, the world will apparently be appalled by the
various revelations of what Andrew and Fergie have got up to.
Lamanads I can confirm Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have
never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever
make the comments is alleged to have made about the
Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry. It seems likely on
this evidence that the ever litigious former Royal will be
(07:11):
suing Lowney in its publishers when the book is released
in its current form. Given the robust remarks that doctor
Lowney has made on social media, he will be up
for such a fight. We'll be right back. Meghan's forty
fourth birthday yesterday reminded Royal commentator Richard fitz Williams of
the Duchess's fortieth when Meg's launched an initiative called forty
(07:35):
by forty aiming to help women re enter the workforce
after the pandemic. The campaign enlisted forty of Meghan's celebrity friends,
including Adele Simon Williams, Stella McCartney, Princess Eugenie and Melissa McCarthy,
to donate forty minutes of their time to mentor other
women A promotional video featured McCarthy and a cameo from
Harry juggling outside a window, but after the initial splash
(07:58):
forty by forty faded into silence. No follow up events
or data were shared publicly, and the campaign was never
formally closed or continued. Fitz Williams told The Daily Mail
he believes the initiative amounted to a gimmick designed to
boost Meghan's public image. There was never any clear idea
of how it would be funded or how exactly it
(08:18):
would be beneficial to spend just forty minutes with someone,
he said, adding that Megan may have overestimated her public appeal.
Is it possible that Prince Andrew's book is just a
syop to get us to stop talking about William Kate's
vacation on the secret Saudi super yacht. The Daily Mail
has remained on the case, reporting the Prince George's mystery
(08:40):
craving may have affected their vacation in the rarefied world
of secret superyachts, one does not simply deny the future
king his craving. As the family sailed from Caphalonia toward
Zacinthos aboard a luxurious yacht, a tender boat was suddenly
dispatched ashore the missionarious specified dietary item requested by George.
(09:04):
One inside had told the Daily Mail nothing extravagant, just
something particular. Naturally, speculation ensued. What could a secret souper
yacht chef possibly not whip up at a moment's notice. Spaghetti, carbonaro,
curry ketchup, chicken nuggets all accounted for. Yeah, Zacinthos As Islanders. Yeah,
Zacinthos As Islanders were quick to note as one of
(09:25):
the few Greek aisles where a McDonald's conveniently located near
the shoreline. The theory that George may have craved a
big mac began circulating, unconfirmed, of course, and the local
franchise was quick to offer no comment. And there you
have it. If you like to email us addresses the
