King Charles must be beside himself over Prince Andrew. The scandalous details about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein are coming out, and they are enough to make anyone gag.
Charles Has a Duty to the Crown
Court documents have revealed the Duke of York involved a puppet in a sexual encounter with two underage girls. Virginia Giuffre and Johanna Sjoberg have come forward with claims of sexual assault.
Disgraced Prince Andrew is hiding from the public as the accusations continue to fly. Allegedly, Prince Andrew knew exactly who Epstein was and his crimes, but he still would spend weeks on end at his mansion in Palm Beach and other various places with Epstein, with other powerful men and underage girls.
Charles probably feels a measure of empathy toward his brother, but that’s as far as it goes. Charles will have to consider very carefully how to go about distancing himself from his brother, as well as distancing Andrew from the monarchy.
Before these accusations came out again, Prince Andrew enjoyed Christmas in Sandringham with the royal family and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
That being said, Charles must protect the crown as his first allegiance. He has a duty to do what his mother, Queen Elizabeth, would have done with Andrew.
Right after Giuffre brought forth the civil sexual assault suit, Queen Elizabeth divested Prince Andrew of his military designations and royal patronages.
The Queen made sacrifices on behalf of the Commonwealth. She put her duty to the crown above all else. King Charles has yet to demonstrate that regarding the situation with his brother, Andrew was the Queen’s son.
Prince Andrew Needs to Be Stripped of All Royal Privileges
Even if these allegations are unproven, Prince Andrew was still involved with two known sex offenders, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He knew better than that. He’s guilty by association.
The anti-monarchist group, Republic, is having a field day with this. They see a chance to tear down the institution as these allegations seek to attack not so much the guilty party himself but the monarchy as a whole.
King Charles needs to come out and say that these accusations are abhorrent and Prince Andrew’s behavior is unacceptable. He should speak out soon.
Allegedly, King Charles said that he wouldn’t abandon his brother. He feels obligated to Prince Andrew because the Queen asked Charles not to leave his brother behind after she died.
There are also supposedly plans to evict Andrew from Royal Lodge. He should not enjoy the benefits that the other members of the royal family get.
Prince Andrew should never be able to return as a working royal. It would look distasteful for the monarchy to allow that.
Andrew’s poor attitude has never been more apparent than when he asked why onlookers were filming him on Christmas Day. They responded that the scene looked “lovely.”
Prince Andrew responded,
“You ought to come and stand on this side and see what it’s like.”
The Duke of York is a rude, ungrateful, and discourteous monster.
King Charles may love his brother, but he must strip him of all royal privileges, including family gatherings.
