For years, palace insiders whispered that Prince Andrew harbored ambitions far beyond his station and that he quietly maneuvered to keep Charles from ever reaching the throne. According to these rumors, Andrew believed that Charles was unfit to reign and that the monarchy would be better served—meaning more tightly controlled—if the succession somehow skipped the heir and went directly to Andrew’s preferred candidate: Prince William. These accounts painted Andrew as a behind-the-curtain operator, leveraging his mother’s affection, exploiting internal rivalries, and feeding narratives that Charles lacked the temperament and stability to lead. None of it was overt, of course. Andrew was said to work in nods, whispers, and subtle pressure campaigns, all designed to chip away at Charles’s inevitability.
The speculation grew particularly intense during Queen Elizabeth II’s later years, when Andrew—despite his spiraling scandals—seemed to position himself as a gatekeeper around his mother. Rumor had it he tried to control access, influence her perception of Charles, and push the idea that the monarchy’s public image would recover faster under a younger, fresher sovereign. The irony was brutal: here was a man drowning in the Epstein scandal allegedly trying to steer the future of the Crown as if anyone still saw him as credible. In the end, the whispers amounted to nothing; Charles ascended, Andrew collapsed, and the schemes attributed to him now read like the last gasps of a fading prince who wildly overestimated both his pull and his relevance.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
We're getting news that Prince Andrew and his petty ass
was attempting to stop his brother from becoming king. In fact,
he tried to pull an end around by having his
mother name his son, meaning Prince Charles's son William, as
(00:21):
the king instead. Obviously that didn't work, but it shows
you the levels that Prince Andrew was willing to go
to to try and keep himself out of trouble here.
He knew that he was never going to have a
place when his mother died, especially with his brother.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
As the king. Now.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I don't know why he would think that things would
be different if his nephew was in charge, but I
guess he thought that was a better path back. The
reality is nobody wants him around, not his brother, not
his nephew, and certainly not the people of England. But somehow,
this knuckle had continues to find a way into the story,
(01:01):
into the narrative and causes all kinds of chaos for
the royal family. Yet he has still not been exiled. Well,
with this new news coming out, I would think that
his brother, the King would be thinking long and hard
about getting rid of Prince Andrew once and for all
and killing this story. He's going to have his own
(01:23):
problems already. People don't like him very much. You know,
he's under the microscope. So he's going to have to
kill this story surrounding Prince Andrew one way or the other.
And the best way to do it would be to
publicly distance himself and the royal family from Andrew. So
let's get into this article from the New York Post
and let's see what they're talking about as far as
(01:47):
Prince Andrew trying to usurp his brother's throne. Headline Prince
Andrew lobbied Queen to stop Charles from becoming king. Book
claims This article was authored by Brooke Cato, and like
I said, it was published by the New York Post
(02:07):
Long Live the King. Prince Andrew supposedly lobbied Queen Elizabeth
the Second to stop Charles from becoming King of England,
a new book has revealed. Now, if you're the King
of England, you're not going to take too kindly to
anybody lobbying against you becoming the king. Right, and now
you're the king, well, you're going to make some decisions
(02:27):
that you might not have been able to make before.
And what's the saying, if you come at the king,
you best not miss. Isn't that how the saying goes?
And Andrew, in typical Andrew fashion, did exactly that. He
took his shot and he missed. Now he's going to
have to pay the consequences. In the explosive biography Camilla,
(02:49):
Duchess of Cornwall from outcast to future Queen Consort, author
Angela Levin claimed that Prince Andrew allegedly plotted with Princess
Diana and his x yfe Sarah Ferguson to prevent Charles
from being crowned as king before the queen passed. You know,
Andrew had designs on the throne. Let's not fool ourselves.
(03:11):
Somebody like Prince Andrew certainly has designs on the throne.
And if he could have ever had his disgusting ass
sit in that seat, he certainly would have done it. Now,
it would have taken a lot of maneuvering, but if
he could thumb his brother's eye, he's gonna do it.
They have never had a great relationship ever. According to
the book, which details the life of Camilla, Andrew, adamantly
(03:35):
fought against the union of Charles and Camilla, who are
now the king and queen consort. So when you're having
a struggle like this, a power struggle, if this was
happening in the old days, this would have led the bloodshed.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
This is like some real life Houses of the Dragon shit,
and throughout history that's how it really did break down.
You would have brother killing brother, you would have you know,
regicide where kings were getting killed. You'd have fathers getting
killed by sons for claims. It was a brutal, brutal
time of history, and people were willing to do some
(04:10):
really disgusting things to close their fist around some power.
And Andrew he tried to make a move like that,
obviously in a different fashion here, but making the end
around going around and doing it by politically scheming behind
the scenes like he's Lord Vari's or something. Instead of
Andrew now chief Corgi Protector becoming king, William would have
(04:33):
been in line for the throne, but only if the
queen passed prior to William turning eighteen, the book claimed,
and that's a fact too. So there's all kinds of
rules and laws that go with how this hereditary system works,
and Prince Andrew was trying to get himself right back
in the line of contention to sit his gross ass
in that throne that has always been what he has coveted.
(04:58):
And I kid you not, if this will use the
year fourteen thirty seven, Andrew would be raising his banners
and trying to usurp this throne from his brother, and
you better believe there would have been some leckspittles that
would have went along with it. Levin, who has penned
multiple biographies about the lives of the royal family members,
(05:19):
credits the intel to a senior insider who said Andrew
purportedly conspired with Diana to push Prince Charles aside. Look,
that definitely tracks with everything we know. We know that
Prince Charles and Prince Andrew have been at each other's
throats for a very long time. We know that they
have not gotten along for a very long time, and
we know that there has been serious divisions in their relationship.
(05:43):
So why wouldn't Prince Andrew try and make a move
if he thought he could position himself in a place
where he'd be the one holding the power. Because again,
it's all about power with these people, not just when
they're talking about us, but their own interpersonal relationships. When
(06:04):
Diana was alive, though her friendship with Andrew's wife, Sarah,
Duchess of York, she plotted with Andrew to push Prince
Charles aside so Prince Andrew could become regent to Prince William,
who was then a teenager. The Insider claimed, calling the
times dark and strange and full of paranoia. I'm rewatching
the Tutors right now as kind of like a background show.
(06:25):
I've already seen it one other time before, but I'm
rewatching it as a background show while i do some
editing and stuff like that. And it's amazing how the
pop and circumstance of this court worked. And it's amazing
the backstabbing that went on. You would have one royal
family backstabbing the next royal family, all in hopes that
they'd be the ones that would call themselves kings or
(06:47):
queen or duke, or have their son marry someone who's
gonna be a duke.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's all crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And that kind of political maneuvering was still going on
during this period that we're talking about here with Princess
Diana and Andrew. But the knives didn't come out right,
not the proverbial ones, but the dull ones, if you will,
the ones behind the scenes, the ones that kill character,
(07:14):
as far as the ones that kill human beings. His
behavior was very, very negative and extremely unpleasant to Queen Elizabeth,
who disagreed. I was told it was one of the
rare occasions he didn't get his way. There are allegations
in the book read nonetheless, he was apparently very angry
that he couldn't rule the country. In some way. He
(07:34):
remained so hostile to Camilla's emergence and acceptance that it's
doubtful it has ever been forgiven. No, it hasn't been.
And there's other things that obviously have driven a wedge
between the two of them. But when you're somebody like
King Charles, you're not going to forget a slight like this.
He's talking about his whole inheritance, pretty much, trying to
(07:57):
snatch the whole inheritance right from underneath came Charles's feet.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
According to the.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Book, Levin claimed Andrew was very nasty and poisonous toward
Camilla because he supposedly thought she was untrustworthy. Boy talk
about pot calling the kettle black. You want to talk
about untrustworthy, We're talking about sick ass Prince Andrew, Mister liar, mister,
I don't even have enough honor to fill up a
fingertips worth. Supposedly, Charles and Andrew have experienced a tumultuous
(08:27):
relationship throughout the years, especially after the Duke of York
was stripped of his military titles following a sex abuse
case and revealing ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and not just that.
Let's be real, we all know what he was doing.
We all know what he's accused of. Let's not whitewash it.
Even at his mother's funeral, he was banned from wearing
(08:48):
his military uniform. Since being forced out of the royal family,
the disgraced Prince has attempted to fly under the radar,
save for the heartfelt message about his late mother. You know,
he hasn't what he talking about. He's been front and
center trying to maneuver his way right back on to
the stage, and as far as his his heartfelt message
to his mom here, I'm not even gonna read it.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm not reading his message to his mom. That's not
what we're talking about. We're talking about the fact that
Prince Andrew was a dirty, no good son of a
bitch for his whole life, and the fact that he
was protected the whole entire time. And now that his
mother's no longer around to protect him behind her skirts
and he can't hang out down in the basement in
he cheetos all day anymore, Well, he's gonna have to
(09:33):
deal with his brother and deal with the consequences of
his past behavior, because we all know that somebody like
Charles is not forgetting what happened, and we're we're already
seeing it and we're gonna continue to see it. I
have no doubt in my mind that Prince Andrew is
not coming back into public life, not because I think
Charles is a good guy or he cares about these survivors.
(09:55):
I don't think that. I think it's a self preservation
for him. He doesn't want this cloud hanging over him
or his reign, and he's gonna do everything in his
power to make sure it doesn't happen. And as far
as Prince Andrew, he better get together with some of
his other buddies over there and maybe they can have
like a Corgie club or something, or a horse riding
(10:18):
club or whatever it's gonna be, but it's not going
to be something in public, and he's not welcomed in public.
Every time he makes an appearance, every time he shows up,
he's going to be mocked. So he needs to just
deal with the reality that he made this bed and
now he has to lie in it. If you'd like

(11:01):
back to the Epstein Chronicles. King Charles has always wanted
Camilla to have the title of Queen, but the Queen
was never very receptive to this idea. In fact, she
was adamant that Camilla wouldn't have that title. Now fast
forward to the Queen on her way out and look
(11:24):
at the about face that was made and how Camilla
is now considered the Queen consort. After Queen Elizabeth made
the declaration that that was her wish well. Come to
find out it was all manipulated behind the scenes by
Charles and Andrew and the issue of Jeffrey Epstein and
(11:48):
today that's exactly what we're going to talk about in
this article. So let's just dive right in and let's
see what sort of bs these two bumbling fools over
in the UK. Up to this article is from Newsweek
headline King Charles used Prince Andrew and his legal woes
to get Queen Camilla deal. This article was authored by
(12:12):
Jack Royston. Look, it's always about the next move, right,
It's always about how I'm gonna maneuver myself into a
better position of power. That's what it comes down to
for people like King Charles, Prince Andrew and the so
called elite, they don't care who they're stepping on as
long as they get to the destination that they have
in mind. King Charles the Third used Prince Andrew's Jeffrey
(12:38):
Epstein lawsuit to get Queen Elizabeth to agree queen consort
status for Camilla. An author says the account was strongly
denied by Buckingham Palace to NBC News, but biographer Christopher
Anderson doubled down during an interview with The Today Show.
So this author is saying, look, this is what went down.
(13:00):
I have sources that told me this is the deal.
I don't believe anything Buckingham Palace has to say. By
the way, anything that they put out, I look at
sideways considering the stupid statements they put out during the
whole entire ordeal with Prince Andrew before he was really outed,
you know, the nonsense that they kept putting out. So
(13:20):
I don't have any faith that they're going to put
out a statement that is anywhere near the truth.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
The Palace told the show the book's.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Account was nonsense, adding it was unsourced and categorically untrue. Yeah,
just like Prince Andrew being a molester was untrue, Just
like Prince Andrew hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein was untrue.
Just like Jimmy Savill being a molester was untrue. Should
we continue? He said, it wasn't out of the blue.
(13:50):
It was again an unspoken arrangement between the two of them,
done behind the scenes by these men in Gray that
Diana used to talk about. Look, do you think that
these guys are above wheeling and dealing and making deals
like this to try and better their own position. Remember
that's what it's all about. All of the jockeying, all
of the moving, all of the nonsense, is all about
(14:13):
more power and the consolidation of it. Those are the
corridors that these.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
People move in.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know, me and you, We wake up in the
morning and we're worried about the day to day. Right,
how am I going to pay my bills?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Damn?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Gas is expensive? Yo, I just had to pay thirty
bucks for lunch. You know that kind of shit. They
don't think about that stuff. They don't have those issues.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
If the whole world.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Was to stop tomorrow and nobody had any money, these
people would still have that money. They wouldn't miss any meals.
Andrew was always the Queen's favorite son. Charles was in
a position where he needed the Queen to endorse Camilla
as they approached the Platinum Jubilee, and these things converged
(14:59):
on the palace denial, he said, standard procedure for the palace. Actually,
when they bother to issue a statement about a book,
you know you've struck an earth. There's no doubt one
thing that we have seen in the past following the
Epstein case and what's up with Andrew is that the
Palace is always issuing these dumb ass statements. Whenever they're
getting their cage rattle at a little bit, one of
(15:20):
these statements is definitely coming out, and they usually mean nothing,
just a bunch of nonsense. Go back and look at
what they said about Prince Andrew, how it was all bs, this, that,
the other thing, And they've never even come back out
and recanted or said anything. As I've said earlier, I've
(15:41):
been covering the royal family for fifty years now. It
shocks me to say it, but the sources I have
now are unparalleled solid. This isn't an authorized biography, it's
an unauthorized biography, and therefore much more accurate than the
Palace would provide. That's true, because when it's an authorized biography,
(16:03):
you have to adhere to the standards put to you
by the Palace or the person whose biography you're writing.
If it's unauthorized, you can do what you gotta do,
dig deeper, go a little bit harder, use sources that
you might not be able to use previously if it's
an authorized biography. So there are certainly benefits to going
this route. Virginia Roberts accused Prince Andrew of rapinger when
(16:27):
she was seventeen years old, and to Jeffrey Epstein trafficking survivor.
He denied the allegations and settled out of court without
admitting liability. Well, that's true, he didn't admit liability. But
go ahead and take a look at the whole entire
story and then tell me you believe that he paid
because he felt like he was in a position that
(16:49):
he just had to please. He paid because he knew
he didn't have the truth on his side, and he
knew that even with Brettler defending him.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
That his royal goose was hooked.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Anderson's previous book also contained an allegation that Charles was
the royal called out anonymously by Megan Markle for alleged
comments on possible skin color of the Sussexes unborn child
during the Oprah Winfrey interview. At the time, a Clarence
House spokesperson said, this is fiction and not worth further comment. Look,
(17:23):
do I think it's a comment that's below King Charles?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
These people look at other folks as less then, and
that's how it's always been. What all of a sudden.
The Royals are in touch with reality. They're in touch
with the common man. They have nothing in common with
the ed and Ediths of England, people driving a cab
or working in a restaurant. What do they have in
(17:49):
common with someone like Prince Charles. Anderson's account is fleshed
out further in the book itself. An advanced copy of
The King seen by Newsweek suggests Charles and William both
thought Andrew should cooperate with the FBI investigation into Robert's allegations,
but the Queen wanted the bell out her favorite son.
So it comes back once again, boomerangs back to the Queen.
(18:13):
And I know a lot of people have favorable opinions
about her, but she protected Andrew all the way up
till the very end. And not only protected him, I
know a lot of you don't want to hear it,
but she also enabled him. When you got somebody like
Charles telling you you need to speak to the FBI,
and mom Duke steps in and says, no, that's not
(18:34):
going to happen. Well, what do you think is going
on here? And who do you think should be blamed
for me? There's a plenty of blame to go around.
But the Queen is the one who was in the
unique position where she could have forced this issue, but
instead she didn't. The book reads. There was a catch, however,
(18:55):
since for all intents and purposes, such funds would ultimately
be coming out of Charles's inheritance. On becoming king, he
would inherit both access to the Duchy of Lancaster income
and the bulk of his mother's vast holdings. Charles would
have to, if not actually sign off on the deal,
then at least not offer a public objection to it.
(19:16):
So basically, the Queen needed Charles to play ball here,
and Charles knew that his mom needed him to play ball,
So he turned this situation into something that was beneficial
to him, and that is to get his mom to
declare that Camilla would be known as Queen Consort. As
distasteful as it was to have a slice of his
(19:37):
inheritance go for this purpose, Charles recognized rare opportunity for
some sort of informal quid pro quo. While the question
of where the money would come from was still very
much on the table, the Prince of Wales suggested privately
that February sixth twenty twenty, the seventieth anniversary of Queen
Elizabeth the Second's father, George. George's death might be the
(19:59):
idea time to make some sort of statement in support
of Camilla becoming queen. And you see how it all
works right for Charles, he really doesn't care about these
survivors either, And he doesn't really care that his brother
was a diddler. He cares that he was caught and
he cares that he has to deal with it. Now,
(20:20):
that's the real issue here. It's not that the royal
family cares all of a sudden about these survivors. Have
they reached out to any of them? Have they offered
to throw a royal ball.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
In their honor?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Of course they haven't. On today, Anderson said, the problem
is that the Queen was practical and she knew that
putting Camilla on the throne next to Charles would be
problematic to say the least. Yeah, considering how much everybody
loved Diana and the way Charles made Diana feel, and
by the way Charles made a pledge to the British
(20:50):
people to sell them on his marriage. Originally, they would
never make her queen. She would be Princess consort. He
never intended for that to happen. He always knew that
she would be his queen. That's what he was always
pining for, what he was always maneuvering for. They're even
talking now about dropping the consort from the title. She
(21:12):
will be Queen Camilla. I think the moment that's going
to be defining during the coronation is the moment when
she is crowned next to him. I think it's going
to ruffle a lot of feathers. She's not popular in
England and for us in the West, as far as
America and you know, other countries without monarchs and stuff.
We look at this sideways like this whole coronation things
(21:34):
like a big deal. But for us, we're like, what,
I don't even understand what's going on here. Anderson also
spoke about Prince Harry's upcoming memoir and suggested any bombshell
revelations could set a dramatic stage for Charles's coronation in
twenty twenty three. Now, I don't really know too much
about what he would have in that book. I haven't
(21:56):
really followed Prince Harry's saga, but I'm sure already has
some dirt to spill, he said, Obviously there are going
to be bombshells in that book. The palace will not
be happy, and they're facing the coronation in May. It's
obviously got them all on tenter hooks. So there you
have it, folks, the deal that was made by Prince
(22:18):
Andrew and King Charles to get Camilla as queen and
to get Prince Andrew off the hook as far as
the payment goes, so like usual, behind the scenes maneuvering,
and it's always about the same thing. A cover your
ass and b increase your power. However you can, all right, folks,
(22:41):
that's gonna do it for this one. I'll be back
later on with a little bit more. But if you'd

and that's a fact too. So there's all kinds of
rules and laws that go with how this hereditary system works,
and Prince Andrew was trying to get himself right back
in the line of contention to sit his gross ass
in that throne that has always been what he has coveted.
(04:58):
And I kid you not, if this will use the
year fourteen thirty seven, Andrew would be raising his banners
and trying to usurp this throne from his brother, and
you better believe there would have been some leckspittles that
would have went along with it. Levin, who has penned
multiple biographies about the lives of the royal family members,
(05:19):
credits the intel to a senior insider who said Andrew
purportedly conspired with Diana to push Prince Charles aside. Look,
that definitely tracks with everything we know. We know that
Prince Charles and Prince Andrew have been at each other's
throats for a very long time. We know that they
have not gotten along for a very long time, and
we know that there has been serious divisions in their relationship.
(05:43):
So why wouldn't Prince Andrew try and make a move
if he thought he could position himself in a place
where he'd be the one holding the power. Because again,
it's all about power with these people, not just when
they're talking about us, but their own interpersonal relationships. When
(06:04):
Diana was alive, though her friendship with Andrew's wife, Sarah,
Duchess of York, she plotted with Andrew to push Prince
Charles aside so Prince Andrew could become regent to Prince William,
who was then a teenager. The Insider claimed, calling the
times dark and strange and full of paranoia. I'm rewatching
the Tutors right now as kind of like a background show.
(06:25):
I've already seen it one other time before, but I'm
rewatching it as a background show while i do some
editing and stuff like that. And it's amazing how the
pop and circumstance of this court worked. And it's amazing
the backstabbing that went on. You would have one royal
family backstabbing the next royal family, all in hopes that
they'd be the ones that would call themselves kings or
(06:47):
queen or duke, or have their son marry someone who's
gonna be a duke.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's all crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And that kind of political maneuvering was still going on
during this period that we're talking about here with Princess
Diana and Andrew. But the knives didn't come out right,
not the proverbial ones, but the dull ones, if you will,
the ones behind the scenes, the ones that kill character,
(07:14):
as far as the ones that kill human beings. His
behavior was very, very negative and extremely unpleasant to Queen Elizabeth,
who disagreed. I was told it was one of the
rare occasions he didn't get his way. There are allegations
in the book read nonetheless, he was apparently very angry
that he couldn't rule the country. In some way. He
(07:34):
remained so hostile to Camilla's emergence and acceptance that it's
doubtful it has ever been forgiven. No, it hasn't been.
And there's other things that obviously have driven a wedge
between the two of them. But when you're somebody like
King Charles, you're not going to forget a slight like this.
He's talking about his whole inheritance, pretty much, trying to
(07:57):
snatch the whole inheritance right from underneath came Charles's feet.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
According to the.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Book, Levin claimed Andrew was very nasty and poisonous toward
Camilla because he supposedly thought she was untrustworthy. Boy talk
about pot calling the kettle black. You want to talk
about untrustworthy, We're talking about sick ass Prince Andrew, Mister liar, mister,
I don't even have enough honor to fill up a
fingertips worth. Supposedly, Charles and Andrew have experienced a tumultuous
(08:27):
relationship throughout the years, especially after the Duke of York
was stripped of his military titles following a sex abuse
case and revealing ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and not just that.
Let's be real, we all know what he was doing.
We all know what he's accused of. Let's not whitewash it.
Even at his mother's funeral, he was banned from wearing
(08:48):
his military uniform. Since being forced out of the royal family,
the disgraced Prince has attempted to fly under the radar,
save for the heartfelt message about his late mother. You know,
he hasn't what he talking about. He's been front and
center trying to maneuver his way right back on to
the stage, and as far as his his heartfelt message
to his mom here, I'm not even gonna read it.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm not reading his message to his mom. That's not
what we're talking about. We're talking about the fact that
Prince Andrew was a dirty, no good son of a
bitch for his whole life, and the fact that he
was protected the whole entire time. And now that his
mother's no longer around to protect him behind her skirts
and he can't hang out down in the basement in
he cheetos all day anymore, Well, he's gonna have to
(09:33):
deal with his brother and deal with the consequences of
his past behavior, because we all know that somebody like
Charles is not forgetting what happened, and we're we're already
seeing it and we're gonna continue to see it. I
have no doubt in my mind that Prince Andrew is
not coming back into public life, not because I think
Charles is a good guy or he cares about these survivors.
(09:55):
I don't think that. I think it's a self preservation
for him. He doesn't want this cloud hanging over him
or his reign, and he's gonna do everything in his
power to make sure it doesn't happen. And as far
as Prince Andrew, he better get together with some of
his other buddies over there and maybe they can have
like a Corgie club or something, or a horse riding
(10:18):
club or whatever it's gonna be, but it's not going
to be something in public, and he's not welcomed in public.
Every time he makes an appearance, every time he shows up,
he's going to be mocked. So he needs to just
deal with the reality that he made this bed and
now he has to lie in it. If you'd like

(11:01):
back to the Epstein Chronicles. King Charles has always wanted
Camilla to have the title of Queen, but the Queen
was never very receptive to this idea. In fact, she
was adamant that Camilla wouldn't have that title. Now fast
forward to the Queen on her way out and look
(11:24):
at the about face that was made and how Camilla
is now considered the Queen consort. After Queen Elizabeth made
the declaration that that was her wish well. Come to
find out it was all manipulated behind the scenes by
Charles and Andrew and the issue of Jeffrey Epstein and
(11:48):
today that's exactly what we're going to talk about in
this article. So let's just dive right in and let's
see what sort of bs these two bumbling fools over
in the UK. Up to this article is from Newsweek
headline King Charles used Prince Andrew and his legal woes
to get Queen Camilla deal. This article was authored by
(12:12):
Jack Royston. Look, it's always about the next move, right,
It's always about how I'm gonna maneuver myself into a
better position of power. That's what it comes down to
for people like King Charles, Prince Andrew and the so
called elite, they don't care who they're stepping on as
long as they get to the destination that they have
in mind. King Charles the Third used Prince Andrew's Jeffrey
(12:38):
Epstein lawsuit to get Queen Elizabeth to agree queen consort
status for Camilla. An author says the account was strongly
denied by Buckingham Palace to NBC News, but biographer Christopher
Anderson doubled down during an interview with The Today Show.
So this author is saying, look, this is what went down.
(13:00):
I have sources that told me this is the deal.
I don't believe anything Buckingham Palace has to say. By
the way, anything that they put out, I look at
sideways considering the stupid statements they put out during the
whole entire ordeal with Prince Andrew before he was really outed,
you know, the nonsense that they kept putting out. So
(13:20):
I don't have any faith that they're going to put
out a statement that is anywhere near the truth.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
The Palace told the show the book's.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Account was nonsense, adding it was unsourced and categorically untrue. Yeah,
just like Prince Andrew being a molester was untrue, Just
like Prince Andrew hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein was untrue.
Just like Jimmy Savill being a molester was untrue. Should
we continue? He said, it wasn't out of the blue.
(13:50):
It was again an unspoken arrangement between the two of them,
done behind the scenes by these men in Gray that
Diana used to talk about. Look, do you think that
these guys are above wheeling and dealing and making deals
like this to try and better their own position. Remember
that's what it's all about. All of the jockeying, all
of the moving, all of the nonsense, is all about
(14:13):
more power and the consolidation of it. Those are the
corridors that these.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
People move in.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know, me and you, We wake up in the
morning and we're worried about the day to day. Right,
how am I going to pay my bills?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Damn?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Gas is expensive? Yo, I just had to pay thirty
bucks for lunch. You know that kind of shit. They
don't think about that stuff. They don't have those issues.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
If the whole world.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Was to stop tomorrow and nobody had any money, these
people would still have that money. They wouldn't miss any meals.
Andrew was always the Queen's favorite son. Charles was in
a position where he needed the Queen to endorse Camilla
as they approached the Platinum Jubilee, and these things converged
(14:59):
on the palace denial, he said, standard procedure for the palace. Actually,
when they bother to issue a statement about a book,
you know you've struck an earth. There's no doubt one
thing that we have seen in the past following the
Epstein case and what's up with Andrew is that the
Palace is always issuing these dumb ass statements. Whenever they're
getting their cage rattle at a little bit, one of
(15:20):
these statements is definitely coming out, and they usually mean nothing,
just a bunch of nonsense. Go back and look at
what they said about Prince Andrew, how it was all bs, this, that,
the other thing, And they've never even come back out
and recanted or said anything. As I've said earlier, I've
(15:41):
been covering the royal family for fifty years now. It
shocks me to say it, but the sources I have
now are unparalleled solid. This isn't an authorized biography, it's
an unauthorized biography, and therefore much more accurate than the
Palace would provide. That's true, because when it's an authorized biography,
(16:03):
you have to adhere to the standards put to you
by the Palace or the person whose biography you're writing.
If it's unauthorized, you can do what you gotta do,
dig deeper, go a little bit harder, use sources that
you might not be able to use previously if it's
an authorized biography. So there are certainly benefits to going
this route. Virginia Roberts accused Prince Andrew of rapinger when
(16:27):
she was seventeen years old, and to Jeffrey Epstein trafficking survivor.
He denied the allegations and settled out of court without
admitting liability. Well, that's true, he didn't admit liability. But
go ahead and take a look at the whole entire
story and then tell me you believe that he paid
because he felt like he was in a position that
(16:49):
he just had to please. He paid because he knew
he didn't have the truth on his side, and he
knew that even with Brettler defending him.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
That his royal goose was hooked.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Anderson's previous book also contained an allegation that Charles was
the royal called out anonymously by Megan Markle for alleged
comments on possible skin color of the Sussexes unborn child
during the Oprah Winfrey interview. At the time, a Clarence
House spokesperson said, this is fiction and not worth further comment. Look,
(17:23):
do I think it's a comment that's below King Charles?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
These people look at other folks as less then, and
that's how it's always been. What all of a sudden.
The Royals are in touch with reality. They're in touch
with the common man. They have nothing in common with
the ed and Ediths of England, people driving a cab
or working in a restaurant. What do they have in
(17:49):
common with someone like Prince Charles. Anderson's account is fleshed
out further in the book itself. An advanced copy of
The King seen by Newsweek suggests Charles and William both
thought Andrew should cooperate with the FBI investigation into Robert's allegations,
but the Queen wanted the bell out her favorite son.
So it comes back once again, boomerangs back to the Queen.
(18:13):
And I know a lot of people have favorable opinions
about her, but she protected Andrew all the way up
till the very end. And not only protected him, I
know a lot of you don't want to hear it,
but she also enabled him. When you got somebody like
Charles telling you you need to speak to the FBI,
and mom Duke steps in and says, no, that's not
(18:34):
going to happen. Well, what do you think is going
on here? And who do you think should be blamed
for me? There's a plenty of blame to go around.
But the Queen is the one who was in the
unique position where she could have forced this issue, but
instead she didn't. The book reads. There was a catch, however,
(18:55):
since for all intents and purposes, such funds would ultimately
be coming out of Charles's inheritance. On becoming king, he
would inherit both access to the Duchy of Lancaster income
and the bulk of his mother's vast holdings. Charles would
have to, if not actually sign off on the deal,
then at least not offer a public objection to it.
(19:16):
So basically, the Queen needed Charles to play ball here,
and Charles knew that his mom needed him to play ball,
So he turned this situation into something that was beneficial
to him, and that is to get his mom to
declare that Camilla would be known as Queen Consort. As
distasteful as it was to have a slice of his
(19:37):
inheritance go for this purpose, Charles recognized rare opportunity for
some sort of informal quid pro quo. While the question
of where the money would come from was still very
much on the table, the Prince of Wales suggested privately
that February sixth twenty twenty, the seventieth anniversary of Queen
Elizabeth the Second's father, George. George's death might be the
(19:59):
idea time to make some sort of statement in support
of Camilla becoming queen. And you see how it all
works right for Charles, he really doesn't care about these
survivors either, And he doesn't really care that his brother
was a diddler. He cares that he was caught and
he cares that he has to deal with it. Now,
(20:20):
that's the real issue here. It's not that the royal
family cares all of a sudden about these survivors. Have
they reached out to any of them? Have they offered
to throw a royal ball.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
In their honor?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Of course they haven't. On today, Anderson said, the problem
is that the Queen was practical and she knew that
putting Camilla on the throne next to Charles would be
problematic to say the least. Yeah, considering how much everybody
loved Diana and the way Charles made Diana feel, and
by the way Charles made a pledge to the British
(20:50):
people to sell them on his marriage. Originally, they would
never make her queen. She would be Princess consort. He
never intended for that to happen. He always knew that
she would be his queen. That's what he was always
pining for, what he was always maneuvering for. They're even
talking now about dropping the consort from the title. She
(21:12):
will be Queen Camilla. I think the moment that's going
to be defining during the coronation is the moment when
she is crowned next to him. I think it's going
to ruffle a lot of feathers. She's not popular in
England and for us in the West, as far as
America and you know, other countries without monarchs and stuff.
We look at this sideways like this whole coronation things
(21:34):
like a big deal. But for us, we're like, what,
I don't even understand what's going on here. Anderson also
spoke about Prince Harry's upcoming memoir and suggested any bombshell
revelations could set a dramatic stage for Charles's coronation in
twenty twenty three. Now, I don't really know too much
about what he would have in that book. I haven't
(21:56):
really followed Prince Harry's saga, but I'm sure already has
some dirt to spill, he said, Obviously there are going
to be bombshells in that book. The palace will not
be happy, and they're facing the coronation in May. It's
obviously got them all on tenter hooks. So there you
have it, folks, the deal that was made by Prince
(22:18):
Andrew and King Charles to get Camilla as queen and
to get Prince Andrew off the hook as far as
the payment goes, so like usual, behind the scenes maneuvering,
and it's always about the same thing. A cover your
ass and b increase your power. However you can, all right, folks,
(22:41):
that's gonna do it for this one. I'll be back
later on with a little bit more. But if you'd
