The royals are desperate for Andrew to say 1 word but he’s too selfish | Royal | News
Following the disastrous Battle of Cannae in 216 BC, Roman soldiers were found dead with their heads buried in the sand; Trapped by Hannibal’s forces, they knew for hours that they were doomed. Roman formations were so tightly crushed by Hannibal’s forces that they could not even raise their shield arms, so 70,000 men had to wait their turn to be impaled by Hannibal’s spearmen.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may have had his head in the sand when it came to apologizing for the Epstein Files revelations, but he was caught in a trap of his own making. While King Charles has recently expressed “deep concern” about his brother’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, William and Kate are “focused on the victims” – we are yet to hear from Andrew himself.
Thames Valley Police are currently considering a complaint from anti-monarchy group Republic about allegations that secret material from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was shared with Jeffrey Epstein.
The former prince may have passed on reports of his visits to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam, as well as confidential details about gold and uranium investment opportunities in Afghanistan, according to emails released by the US government.
Under official guidance, trade envoys have an obligation to confidentiality sensitive, commercial or political information relating to their official visits.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, but the revelations in the Epstein Files continue to pile up.
We must be nearing his ‘mea culpa’ time because the mess he has gotten the Royal Family into is clearly through his “own fault”.
The Queen felt her son’s contact with the US pedophile was “unwise” but gave him “full support” even after photos of him with Epstein following his conviction and another with his arm around the tragic Virginia Giuffre in 2011.
But the Epstein Files had revealed a year earlier – in September 2010, when Her Majesty was believed to be at Balmoral in Scotland – that Andrew had betrayed that support by inviting Epstein and a group of women to Buckingham Palace.
This was two years after Epstein pleaded guilty in a plea deal to procuring a 14-year-old child for prostitution to avoid further child sex charges. How embarrassing.
Now a former chaplain to the late Queen has said it is “time for Andrew to repent” and that he should speak out rather than leave it to innocents like his brother the King and nephew William.
Priest Dr. Gavin Ashenden fears the scandal could have a long-term impact on the royal family, as a poll for Sky News suggests most Britons think King Charles should force Andrew to talk to US officials.

So, will she speak after saying she has cut off contact with Epstein, will she apologize for remaining close to him, or will she do an interview?
His disastrous appearance opposite Emily Maitlis on Newsnight 2019 worsened his crisis rather than soothing it. He is as sure that sandpaper is a softener as he is on television.
Priest Ashenden said the former prince showed “no signs of remorse”, embarrassment or embarrassment and this could be “a real problem for Andrew”.
He added: “We don’t know exactly how much damage it will do to the Royal Family. I’m sure it’s not over yet.”
But some royal sources claim Andrew has not apologized to Epstein’s victims because “he did nothing wrong and he certainly felt he was treated harshly and very harshly.”
The source added: “Unlike others who have expressed regret for being involved with Epstein, she still denies it. Apologizing to Epstein’s victims would imply guilt.”
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie exclaims: “He’s so narcissistic he still doesn’t feel the need to apologize.”
