Giuffre’s attorney, David Boies, has said that Andrew can no “longer hide behind palace walls.” From the United States, the New York Times also weighed in on the royal scandal, saying the queen and Charles face increased scrutiny about how they have handled the matter. Some commentators suggested that the Duke of York was trying sneak into Balmoral without being seen and was hoping to hide out there with his mother providing cover by letting him stay close to her. He arrived there with his loyal ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, on the same day Giuffre’s lawsuit was filed in U.S.
Meanwhile, Charles headed to Balmoral Castle for “crisis talks” with the queen and Andrew, the Daily Mail reported.Īndrew tried to quietly arrive at Balmoral on Monday for the family’s annual summer getaway, but was spotted by the paparazzi, the Daily Mail reported. In other developments this week, the London Metropolitan police announced that it would conduct another view of Giuffre’s allegations, which opens the possibility of criminal charges being filed, The Guardian reported. This omission may be the latest sign that the royal family, or Charles at least, finally realizes that the allegations against Andrew could have a lasting and devastating impact on their public image - more so than allegations made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that the family is racist. Taken several years ago, this photo shows the brother of the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne and second son of The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, with a young girl he denies ever meeting.
Others thought it was clearly an attempt to make people temporarily forget Andrew’s Epstein scandal, while others snarked that the country would have been better off if the queen had stopped having children after her first two. “Where’s your brother? The one who’s got allegations against him,” one person said. The photo left out Andrew, the queen’s third and reportedly favorite child - a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by some people on Twitter.
The photo posted by Clarence House showed a young Charles and Anne with their parents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Giuffre and her attorney also alleged that Andrew has “stonewalled” the FBI by failing to allow himself to be questioned in their ongoing investigating into Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking operation. Charles cuts Andrew from family tribute amid crisis talksĬharles - or his staff - clearly knew it wouldn’t go over well to share a happy family photo Wednesday that included Andrew when two days earlier, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged teen sex trafficking victims, filed a lawsuit against Andrew in New York federal court, claiming she was forced to have sex with the Duke of York three times when she was 17.
