England's royal family is betting that, one way or another, the Epstein files are soon coming out.

Hey, stranger things have happened. That orange guy managed to move into the White House, not once but TWICE.

On Trump and Epstein.

He still denies all allegations. But wouldn't it be nice.

From the BBC coverage:

Andrew's talks with a Chinese spy had been reported before, but apparently there were more today - this was published about 3 hours before the "drop the title" news:

I'd like to hope Epstein files coming soon, but this is all it took. (And I don't think Andrew would be privy to the info if they are coming soon, but how do I know?)

but the end is nye for blocking...

I've pre-ordered two copies.

I have decided I will not read the book... it will be fascinating, I'm sure, and I await peoples' comments, but it is just too ugly for me to read at length.... let us know the important parts after you have read it

because he's a bit long in the tooth for that. He'll be pensioned off to live somewhere warm and remote enough he will no longer be in a position to embarrass his extended family.

The family must be anticipating more bad news once the Epstein documents are released, that Andrew made many more trips to Epstein's island that have been admitted to, possibly with very young girls sold to him. I don't think they'd have bothered taking this step unless they were trying to shield themselves from more bad news.

Parliament was rumored to be getting ready to take away Andrew's titles and HRH status.

Apparently a deal was cut to let Andrew pretend he was giving them up
voluntarily. And I assume he was given payment or Royal Lodge.
He and the King have been fighting over Andrew's free housing.

So some sort of face saving arrangement was made.

Andrew had little choice in the matter.

Now if they can do the same with the other royal problem child.

Andrew (who was already divorced) finally told his mother about Virginia Giuffre and the visits to Epstein's island etc.

His family acted swiftly. He lost his titles and his inheritance, and he has no job representing royal family, stemming from the Giuffre lawsuit settlement and the notoriety of the Epstein case. I believe he still lives in the Windsor property on the palace grounds and he can keep whatever money he has privately invested. But he's never getting another dime from the Windsor royals and he has to keep a low profile from now on.

Seems more like they are trying to hide and distance themselves from it. That is on brand.

Even though there is evidence.

And the fact his titles are being taken away indicates he is guilty as sin.

Like the Catholic Church, it will deny, deny, deny. The last thing they want is victims coming after them for damages.

We’re seeing the same thing here, and of course Trump is doing everything he can to keep those files from coming to light.

Meh, royal titles are so passé...

Nonce

I want to see their birth applications

What makes them more special than anyone else …

I despise the monarchy bullshit

no prosecution

He gives up the title and HRH.
He doesn't get investigated any further.

Or the King knows an investigation is coming up shortly.
Or Epstein files released.

Time will tell.

a bunch of maybe

so have experience with extensive pedophilia scandals among the wealthy and powerful.

Savile met Prince Charles through mutual charity interests.[88] His work with Stoke Mandeville Hospital also made Savile a suitable figure to whom the Prince could turn "for advice on navigating Britain's health authorities".[89] Charles met Savile on several occasions. In 1999, Charles visited Savile's Glen Coe home for a private meal and reportedly sent him gifts on his 80th birthday and a note reading: "Nobody will ever know what you have done for this country, Jimmy. This is to go some way in thanking you for that."[88] Savile was also in contact with other members of the royal household and received telegrams from Diana, Princess of Wales, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as well as a handwritten letter from Princess Alexandra's husband Sir Angus Ogilvy and a homemade card from Sarah, Duchess of York.[90] Savile acted as an unofficial adviser to Prince Charles, who sought his advice on a number of occasions on how the royal family ought to interact with the public and media. In 1989, Savile hand-wrote an unofficial set of guidelines to Charles on how members of the royal family and staff may respond to disasters. Charles showed the dossier to his father, Prince Philip, who passed the contents on to Queen Elizabeth II.[91][92][93]
