Epstein’s 9-word swipe at King Charles after major Andrew decision | Royal | News
Three million files released by the US Department of Justice earlier this year provide snippets of personal conversations between Jeffrey Epstein and his friends over the years. On the day Andrew Mountbatten Windsor lost his role as UK trade ambassador in 2011, the late convicted sex offender was emailing friends about the news and blaming none other than King Charles.
Andrew served as the UK’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment from 2001 to 2011, but resigned following scrutiny of his spending and dealings with controversial figures. “I assume you know this is Charles’ doing,” Epstein wrote on July 21, 2011, the day it was announced that the former Duke of York would step down. The email was in response to a message from a co-worker: “Lots of TV coverage on PA and there’s always a big story about you. Crazy.”
As reported by Sky NewsBelieving the ‘PA’ to be Prince Andrew, Epstein said in another email about the information: “I’m sure it’s good for him, he’ll be free now.”
The former prince served as the United Kingdom’s special representative for international trade and investment between 2001 and 2011. This role gave him access to high-level government and business contacts around the world.
In an unprecedented move, King Charles also issued a statement following the arrest of his younger brother.
The statement included the following: “What will now come is a full, fair and appropriate process in which this matter will be investigated appropriately and by the relevant authorities.”
“The statement continued: “As I said before, we have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation on this matter. Let me put it clearly: The law must take its own path.
“It would not be appropriate for me to comment further on this matter while this process is ongoing.”
Earlier this year, 3 million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were publicly released. Many of the emails and documents date back more than a decade.
