Prince Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein could become the most sordid royal scandal yet
The insolent prince would not be cowed, even as The Sunday Times UK reported that flight and public records put Roberts and Prince Andrew in three separate locations at the same time — including once on Epstein’s private Caribbean island — even as a photo surfaced of Andrew taken in 2001, his arm around then-17-year-old Virginia’s waist...
...The senior royal, according to the Telegraph, spent four days at the registered sex offender’s $50 million Upper East Side mansion, while Epstein worked to settle some outlandish debts plaguing Andrew’s equally greedy and parasitic ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
“I’m not a sexual predator,” Epstein told The Post back then. “I’m an ‘offender.’ It’s the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel.”
Around the same time, Andrew and Epstein were photographed taking a chummy walk through Central Park, a photograph splashed in tabloids both here and in the UK.
This did not play well back home. Buckingham Palace was forced to issue a statement.
“There is a question mark over his choice of friends,” a senior royal aide told the press, “and that is quite difficult for him.”

Being a sexual predator is prima facie evidence of sociopathy, as is pathological lying, repeat criminal offenses, kleptomania, etc.
But THIS STATEMENT (quoted above) seals the deal for me. Epstein seems to be genuinely oblivious to society's abhorrence of his behavior.
Of course sociopaths are generally unaffected by the feelings of others, although some become acute observers of others' behaviorial cues and develop an outgoing, even "charming" personality.
All fake of course. It's known as the "Mask of sanity."
