Duke of York seen near Windsor Castle amid fears “incriminating” messages
could surface
Prince Andrew has been seen near Windsor Castle just hours before Donald
Trump’s state visit, as pressure mounts over both men’s past ties to convicted
sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to Daily Mail, the Duke of York was spotted driving around the
Windsor Estate on Monday, September 15, appearing “pensive” as he looked out
from his car. His sighting came as King Charles III and Queen Camilla prepared
to host the former US President and Melania Trump from September 16 to 19.
The visit has already been overshadowed by controversy, with growing scrutiny
of both Andrew and Trump’s connections to Epstein. A royal insider told the
outlet that the King is “dismayed” by the “unwelcome distraction,” especially
in the wake of Peter Mandelson’s recent sacking.
Tensions escalated further after reports that the United States Congress is
reviewing what are described as “incriminating” emails between Andrew and
Epstein. “If you think what’s happened to Peter Mandelson is bad then you have
no idea what will happen when the Andrew emails are released. They are
embarrassing and incriminating and he could be destroyed,” a source claimed.
Public backlash has been intense. Around the same time Andrew was seen on the
estate, a massive banner the size of a tennis court featuring an infamous
photo of Trump and Epstein was unfurled near the King’s doorstep in Windsor.
