• What staff claim they saw him doing with Virginia Giuffre, and housekeeper’s shock at his ‘fetishes’. Read it only here…

• Prince Andrew - his royal oafishness: Sex obsessed, vulgar, vile bedroom habits and a Meghan bullying bombshell.

In yesterday’s first extract of historian Andrew Lownie’s devastating new biography of Prince Andrew – based on four years of forensic research and hundreds of interviews with insiders – the Daily Mail revealed his hedonistic private life and astonishing sense of entitlement. Today, we chart his sordid relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein…

On the morning of Tuesday, February 9, 1999, a small group gathered at an airport for private planes just outside New York, ready to catch a Gulfstream jet to the US Virgin Islands. One of the three waiting passengers was the glamorous British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late media baron Robert Maxwell.

Her personal assistant Emmy Taylor waited with her. The third and final member of the group was Prince Andrew.

Andrew and Ghislaine were good friends – and over the years had been occasional lovers – and through her, the prince had come into the ambit of her boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein had stood by Ghislaine after the death of her father – a man with long-standing connections to British, Russian and Israeli intelligence, who had met a sudden and mysterious death eight years earlier –and the subsequent discoveries of his crimes, in which he had stolen hundreds of millions of pounds from the pension funds of his companies.

According to bank records, from 1999 to 2007 Epstein gave her more than $30million to restore her to the lavish lifestyle to which she had become accustomed.

In return, the well-connected Oxford graduate played a crucial role in Epstein’s complicated but...

MI5 and MI6 let Epstein have access to the Windsors for over a decade.

All those personality quirks have already been known about Prince Andrew for decades. What you see with him is what he’s shown since becoming an over privileged teenager.

[Sacajaweau]

Daily Mail ids a garbage site....Fake News...

[plain talk]

“The truth about Andrew would bury the Royal Family for good’”

Hyperbolic headlines! ha ha

Well Charles maybe a liberal a hole sometimes, but he respects the throne, Anne wishes she was a man, by the be the way she dresses, Edward just keeps quiet and enjoys the wealth, Andrew(randy andy) seems to be evil.

I have a sibling who was born in 1960, and he is evil, must have been the bomb testings back then.

What a tour de force of bullcrap.

Glamourous socialite? Her dad was a “media barron”. Epstein funded HER? And of course, they always worm Putin into the mix in every story.

She was wealthy from her dad, her dad was Mossad. There is no documented history of Epstein ever making a trade, or having money before CIA Barr recruited him.
Maxwell was the Mossad Madame, and the leader of the spy ring. Epstein was her employee. She had the money, the Mossad connections etc.

And the purpose of the spy ring was not to sell it to Putin. The purpose was for the Israelis, CIA and MI-6 to get infor to blackmail the political and financial leaders of western nations.

Other than a one-time payment, there is no advantage to Epstein to sell it to the Russians. And it diminishes the value of Israel’s ability to use that information.

Lots of gaslighting here, and the goal is to eventually lead to commuting her sentence as a poor innocent socialite waif ya know.

Anne was an Olympian in equestrian events. Of course she wore pants. She raised her daughter to ride, too and in 2012 her daughter won a silver medal.

Yeah, sold them to the Russians - Russia Russia Russia

Epstein didn't "sell" them; he was hired to deliver them. That's a payment, not a sale.

...and it wasn't the Russians who paid him.

[Veto!]

The Daily Mail sensationalizes everything. Yellow journalism.
Often fun to read though with your tongue in your cheek.

[MayflowerMadam]

Who thinks info about Andrew’s sex life has any value re blackmail? NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANDREW.

[roving]

Depends on who the author is. They put out some good stories.

[mewzilla]

A truth that's told with bad intent, Beats all the lies you can invent.

There's more to this than just the clickbait aspect.

[roving]

I just read a story on their site about the Ark of the Covenant. Was that garbage too?

[CletusVanDamme]

Read it in the Sunday papers. .

[Leaning Right]

> The Daily Mail sensationalizes everything. <

Very true. But now and again the UK tabloids stumble upon a truth that everyone else would prefer to keep hidden.

As far as I can tell, the only paper like that in the United States is the New York Post.

And the purpose of the spy ring was not to sell it to Putin. The purpose was for the Israelis, CIA and MI-6 to get infor to blackmail the political and financial leaders of western nations.

There was a time I would consider what you're saying as tinfoil stuff - now it seems possible. Would someone like Brennan turn this down? Not likely.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Why was Epstein allowed to run the intelligence/underage blackmail ring? The reason for the underagers was blackmail, not pedophilia.

[Leaning Right]

You raise an interesting point. The British monarch has no real power. He could make suggestions to the prime minister (who has the real power). But the prime minister is free to completely ignore those suggestions.

And a duke would have even less power. Someone might blackmail Andrew for money. But why would Putin?
