Media: Andrews bodyguards monitored Epstein's dinner party
Reports indicate that Prince Andrew's bodyguards were responsible for ensuring security at a dinner hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in New York in 2010.
Reports have emerged, particularly from The Sunday Times and other British media, indicating that Prince Andrew's security detail was instructed to oversee a dinner party hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in December 2010. According to emails that have surfaced, Andrew was staying at Epstein's New York home during this period, accompanied by two bodyguards from the London police. A specific email titled "Security for Party" sent to Epstein before the gathering outlined the instructions given to the British guards, including protocols at the door of the residence.
The implications of these revelations are significant, particularly in the wake of Andrew being stripped of his royal title and now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. This new information adds to the scrutiny surrounding Andrew's connections with Epstein, a billionaire and convicted sex offender, and it raises questions regarding the nature of his relationship with Epstein during the time he stayed in New York. Furthermore, British police have confirmed that they will be questioning the former bodyguards, seeking insights that may pertain to ongoing investigations related to Epstein's activities.
These developments tie into broader discussions around accountability and transparency within the British royal family, especially regarding how members interacted with individuals like Epstein who have been associated with serious criminal behavior. As investigations proceed, both the public and authorities will be watching closely to understand the depth of Andrew's involvement and whether further actions will be necessary regarding his past choices and affiliations.
