New Emails, Old Lies: Prince Andrew’s Epstein Trouble Returns

0:03 Calarogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I'm your host, Mark Francis. Prince Andrew is facing renewed scrutiny following reports of an alleged email exchange with Jeffrey Epstein that appears to contradict his previous statements about severing ties with the convicted sex offender. According to the Sun, the email, dated February twenty eight, twenty eleven, was allegedly sent from the Duke of York's official account, just a day after the now infamous photograph of Andrew with Virginia Jeffrey resurfaced. In the message, Andrew reportedly wrote, I'm just as concerned for you. Don't worry about me seeing we are in this together and we'll have to rise above it. Otherwise, keeping close touch and will play some more soon. The email was said to have been signed a HRH the Duke of York KG, referencing his title as Knight of the Garter. The alleged exchange took place months after Andrew claim to have cut off contact with Epstein. In his twenty nineteen BBC interview with Emily Maitliss, he stated that their final meeting had been in December twenty ten. During that interview, the Duke denied any wrongdoing and insisted he had no recollection of meeting Geoffrey. Prince Harry is said to be horrified and extremely angry after Meghan posted a video from Paris showing her car traveling close to the site of Princess Diana's fatal crash. Royal commentator Richard fitz Williams told Okay magazine, I suspect Harry will be horrified and extremely angry because

1:34 the video links to the most traumatic period of his life. He would be aghast because even though it wasn't intentional, it was a very bad mistake. Meghan simply cannot afford to behave like that because of her years and the fact that she has made herself into a brand. Her airily filming part of Paris was grossly insensitive, and these mistakes hold weait He is unable to shield Meghan from the repercussions of her mistake. It cannot be undone. If the average person filmed a video like that, it wouldn't matter. But every single thing that Meghan does is scrutinized by friend or foe. Sources also told the Out that the Prince William was livered beyond words, viewing the video as an ill judged and self centered mistake. The Mirror quoted one of Sussex's friends as saying Harry was left hurt and upset Diana's death was used as a stick to beat his wife with. Meghan did not even pass close to the tunnel. He was left feeling hurt. But the depressing thing is he wasn't even that surprised. He was more despondent than shocked. Former BBC Royal correspondent Jenny Bond said Meghan likely hadn't realized the potential fallout, commenting she could have thought about it harder, but like so many people these days, it's all about sharing your life instantly without considering the implications. Harry's fragile reconciliation with King Charles appears to have collapsed once again following reports that the Duke of Sussex has renewed his push for taxpayer funded police protection when visiting the United Kingdom. According to The Sunday Times, Harry recently wrote directly to Home Secretary Shabana Marmared requesting a new risk assessment from Rayveck, the committee that determines security for members of the royal family and

3:06 other high profile figures. Since stepping down as a working royal in twenty twenty, Harry has been excluded from automatic protection, a situation he has unsuccessfully challenged in court. Sources close to the King described the Duke's latest appeal as deeply unhelpful, with one insider telling the paper it complicates things for the King. It's not going to help matters. We are back to where we were. A palace source said the Duke's move was viewed as a power play, while one former courtier described it as fake naivety, noting that the establishment resists any arrangement that will allow Harry to arrive in Britain unannounced and receive automatic arm protection. An old friend of the King told The Daily Beasts he was so close to what he says he wants a functional relationship with his family that he blows it all up again.

3:50 Harry and Meghan had an unexpectedly tense moment on the red carpet in New York last week as Cameron's court. A brief but awkward exchange between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, tending the Project Healthy Minds gala, where the pair were honored as Humanitarians of the Year. The couple smiled for photographers as they posed together, but video from the event appeared to show Harry placing his hand on Meghan's lower back before briefly resting it on her behind. Meghan turned to him, appearing too quietly, asking him to move it. Harry responded with a nervous smile and shifted his hand higher. The pair then carried on posing for photos, with Meghan looping her arm around Harry's back. Later footage suggested Harry tried to usher his wife along after she lingered for additional shots, reportedly whispering come on now as he gently took her hand. Observers noted that Megan seemed to make a real effort to look demure and avoid overshadowing her husband during the public appearance.
