Epstein Threat Claims, New Emails And A Royal Variety Night For William And Kate

0:03 Calarogu Shark Media, Hello and Welcome through Palace INTRIGUEA host Mark Francis. The claim alleges that Jeffrey Epstein was considering violent action against Andrew and Sarah in the weeks before his death. Writing in his Lowney Report Substack Lowney Science, a source described as being closely connected to Epstein. According to that individual, he devised a detailed plan to take out Prince Andrew and Fergie. He was worried that they would foil and spill damaging information about him. He felt strongly that both Andrew and Fergie had breached his trust and were planning to leak key information about him in an attempt to save their own skins. Jeffrey developed a concrete plan to eliminate both of them and had them in talks with a notorious UK sniper for hire. If Jeffrey hadn't died, Andrew and Fergi would have been murdered they knew too much about his sex traffic king ring.

1:01 The same source said Epstein had become convinced that Buckingham Palace regarded his association with Andrew as a significant problem. Jeffrey was tipped off by a person connected to Prince Andrew that Buckingham Palace was infuriated by Prince Andrew's longtime connection to him. The source said Geoffrey became paranoid that the Palace would kill him. He always believed the Prince Philip and the British royal family were behind Princess Diana's death. He told people close to him weeks before he died that he would be the next to be murdered by the royals. He said during the many years he was close to Prince Andrew, he learned the Palace had a long history of carrying out extra judicial killings. The source added that Epstein was particularly suspicious of the Duchess of York.

1:43 Jeffrey said Fergie used to tell him about other people's secrets. The individual said he said most likely she would not hesitate to tell his He had lost complete trust in both Fergie and Andrew and wanted them out of the picture forever. Andrew has been seen in public for the first time since the king formerly removed his remaining royal titles. The sixty five year old was photographed on the Windsor estate on Monday morning, still based on the Berkshire grounds as arrangements for his departure continue. Dressed in at green Parker helmet and gloves, he was observed talking with a female riding companion. It was the first sighting of him in nearly two months, during which he has kept out of you following the loss of his titles and requirement to vacate. Newly released correspondence suggests Jeffrey Epstein encouraged one of his close associates to meet Andrew, describing the former royal as great fun. The email, published by the US Congress last week add further scrutiny to Andrew, who has already been stripped of his remaining titles and honors by his brother, the King. The message, date of January twenty ten, shows Epstein directing Boris Nikolich, a former advisor to Bill Gates and named successor executor in Epstein's will, to connect with Andrew while the then Duke of York was attending the World Economic Forum in Davos on behalf of the UK.

3:02 In the exchange, Epstein asks Nikolitch whether he has had any fun in Switzerland. Nikolitch replies, different kind of fun. Met your friend Bill Clinton yesterday, followed up with Nicholas Sarkozy later in the day meeting your other friend, Prince Andrew. As he has some questions read Microsoft. Epstein responds, you can tell Andrew we are friends. After Nicolitch implies he does not require anything from Andrew, Epstein writes, yes, you do. You need to laugh and have fun. He is good at that. He is great fun. Nicolitch replies, thank you. I heard that he is not fun, but I trust your judgment. It would be a blast that you were here. I was just flirting with twenty two year old hot, blonde, blue eyes Mexican chick. It turns out she is with her husband. Did not have chance to check him out.

3:44 But as we concluded, everything good is rented. Following what appears to have been his meeting with Andrew, Nikolitch later writes, he is great. I think I would trade Davos for a good Fashion Week, much more fun. The emails form part of thousands of documents to disclose by the House Oversight Committee, offering a broader look at Epstein's interactions with business leaders, academics, journalists, and political figures over more than a decade. The material does not suggest that any of the individuals named were involved in Epstein's criminal activity, but it does highlight the extent of his influence and personal network during the years he was a registered sex offender. The Committee has now asked Andrew to appear before the US Congress to answer questions about his association with Epstein.

4:28 Robert Garcia, the most senior Democratic member of the panel, said rich and powerful men have evaded justice for far too long. Now Former Prince Andrew has the opportunity to come clean and provide justice for the survivors Oversight. Democrats will not stop fighting for accountability and transparency for survivors of Epstein and his gang of co conspirators. The formal request, co signed by fifteen additional Democratic members, was issued on November six and asked for a reply by November twentieth. Jeffrey Epstein's emails released by the House of Committee show Andrew used a self referential code name that has raised eyebrows. In a March twenty eleven email exchange with Epstein and Glen Maxwell. Following that notification about upcoming sex trafficking allegations by Virginia, Jeffrey in the Daily Mail, Andrew referred to himself as the Duke In the frantic correspondence, the Duke wrote to Epstein, please make sure that every statement or legal letter states clearly that I am not involved and that I knew and know nothing about any of these allegations.

5:29 I can't take any more of this on my end. Reports suggest that Sarah is considering leaving the UK. According to a friend quoted in recent coverage, she is looking at the possibility of staying in a guest suite at the oceanfront property in Portugal owned by Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooks Bank. The villa, valued at three point six million pounds, could provide her with a temporary base. King Charles is understood to have reached a private agreement with Andrew as part of the former Duke's departure from Royal Lodge and the formal removal of his remaining titles. The arrangement, reported by The Daily Mail's Richard Eden, is said to have been central to Andrew's decision to leave the Windsor property, despite what was described as a cast iron legal right to remain there until twenty seventy eight.

6:14 According to the report, Andrew finally caved in after months of resisting pressure with the breakthrough coming when Charles offered assurances about the future of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. The Daily Mail stated it was agreed that not only would there be no action taken by the King against Beatrice and Eugenie, but they would be allowed to accept new official royal roles. A royal source told Eden it is perhaps one of the few things that His Majesty and Andrew agree on. The insider added they both love Beatrice and Eugenie and want the best for them. They also agree that the princesses can play an important helpful role in public life. Royal expert Ingrid Seward supported the assessment, telling the Son the King is determined to embrace his nieces and bring them into the royal fold in a way where they don't feel they're just being gratuitously pulled in, but they're actually doing something for it. She added, I think that Charles feels quite responsible for these two goals because it's been a hideous time for them, really hideous or palace In just a moment, Kensington Palace has confirmed the Prince and Princess of Wales will attend this year's Royal Variety Performance this evening.
