Andrew Excluded From Major Royal Ceremony as Isolation Deepens

About this episode

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly been left feeling increasingly isolated after being excluded entirely from this year’s Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Castle. Andrew had participated in the event in previous years and attended its private pre-ceremony lunch as recently as last year, but his removal from the order meant he was absent from every part of the 2026 observance. A source described the occasion as a painful reminder of everything Andrew has lost, particularly because senior members of his family—including King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William—continued with the ceremony without him.

His exclusion followed the loss of his remaining royal titles and honors as controversy over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein continued to engulf him. Andrew was also absent from Trooping the Colour and is now living in Norfolk while police investigate allegations of misconduct in public office; he was arrested on suspicion of that offense in February and later released under investigation. Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing, but his complete disappearance from major royal occasions shows how thoroughly the monarchy has distanced itself from him and how far he has fallen from his former position within the institution.

What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. One of the most important things for Prince Andrew has always been his status, and that's because he knew that that was the vehicle to get him where he wanted to go. And he had no problem using that status to do exactly that, and of all the people that have faced repercussions over Jeffrey Epstein and their relationship with him, I think that Prince Andrew has probably suffered the most. And that's because he's lost all these prestigious titles, and he's not even a prince anymore. So if anybody has faced repercussions, it's been Prince Andrew, and I think one of the biggest blows to him is the fact that he's been uninvited from every single family event. This dude's not invited over for anything, whether it's Christmas or the Order of the Guardor's Ceremony. So today we have an article from LBC and the headline, Andrew Mountbatten-Winzor has been left feeling more isolated than ever after his exclusion

from a major royal event. Imagine all the allegations that have been made against Andrew, and that's what he's worried about, not being invited, for T. and Crumpets. The King and Queen, and Prince William, don't black velvet ostrich plume tats and robes on Monday, as they process through the grounds outside Winsor Castle for the ancient Order of the Guardor's Ceremony. All this pomp and circumstance that happens with the monarchy is very odd to me. Like the Order of the Guardor? I mean, maybe back in the year like 1612 or some shit, that's cool, but I really just don't see the relevance in current times. Unless of course you're talking about dress-up time for a bunch of rich, well-to-do people and royals. I mean, I guess it makes sense then, but I think that most outside observers think it's a waste of money and a waste of time. Absent from the procession was the disgraced former Duke of York, who was stripped of his Order of

the Guardor on her last October over his links to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A source told the Daily Express that Guardor Day would be a really tough day for Andrew. They said he's become used to watching his family celebrate Trooping without him, but Guardor Day will be a really tough day for him. It's one of the days that reminds him of all that he's lost. He's feeling more isolated than ever, he's completely alone, breaking news, nobody cares. If anybody has earned their fate, it's this dude. Of all the people we talk about, I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Andrew sickens me the most. This man had the whole entire world hand it up to him, from the time he was born. He could have done anything with his life, and this is what he chose. So I don't give a damn if you feel isolated. If it was up to me, you'd be shipped off to Antarctica. The disgraced royal, who became a member of the Order in 2006, had previously joined in the festivities and procession. Last year he attended the non-public priest ceremony lunch, but he has

now been removed from the Order. Well, yeah, when you're this disgraced, what are you supposed to do? Like should the king and the royal family just ignore it like they did for all the years leading up to this? Because I assure you that's why they're in the position that they're in now. If they would have just met this head on and thrown Andrew to the wolves where he belonged, then they would have avoided all of this, and the queen's legacy would be intact. But unfortunately, it's not. And anybody who's a neutral observer who looks at how this all went down can help but walk away and say, look, the queen was that fault? She protected them. She enabled them. And she could have made sure that Andrew did the right thing instead, but she didn't. So now her legacy is being dragged down by this anchor known as Andrew. So yeah, your bitch ass should be removed from every order. In fact, they should send his ass to the space station. It's believed that this is the first year that Andrew

has not attended in any capacity at all. I mean, he was just arrested. There's a lot going on as far as his own case and the investigation in the UK never mind what's going on in America. So there was zero shot that he was going to this thing at all privately or publicly. His complete exclusion comes after the king took away all of his remaining titles last year. Along with his royal title, Prince and Duke of York, as controversy mounted over his links with Jeffrey Epstein. And I know we all want to give Charles credit for doing what he's done, but he's had no choice. Do you really think he wants to do this? Do you think he wants to deal with Andrew and any capacity whatsoever? But he has to. And his hand is forced. But for the royal family, the best scenario would have been for all of this to continue to be whitewashed and downplayed. That was the strategy up until recently, up until these files were released and absolutely destroyed their narrative, but leading up to that, forget it. The palace had nothing to say.

The palace had no kind of plan to deal with what was happening. And now the queen has just passed the book to King Charles. And we all know he's not equipped to deal with this. The dude is old and he has cancer. Never mind all the other issues going on. Andrew's now living in Norfolk while police investigate allegations of misconduct in public office. He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in February and then released under investigation. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Well, yeah, what's he going to do? admit it. But you guys got me. Shucks, I'm caught. Everything you said about me is true. All the rumors about Epstein, those were true. What Virginia said, that's true. I mean, come on. He's not going to say a damn thing. I think he learned his lesson with that dumbass interview on BBC with Emily Maetless. Probably the worst decision somebody has ever made. Imagine being as guilty

as Andrew looks. And then you go up there and you have this interview on BBC and you're talking about kids. You're talking about pizza joints. You're talking about not sweating. And then as the cherry on top, you leave that interview thinking you did a great job. Oh yeah, things went great. I'm a great guy. Everybody's going to believe my story. Meanwhile, nobody believed it. And after we all picked our jaws up, we let them know. But this bumbling fool thought he did a great job and thought that the idea of sitting down for that interview was top notch. Well, guess what? Just like everything else that this man touched, it turned to shit. He was last seen at the weekend just hours before the King's official birthday parade, troopsing the color to place in London. The order of the garter founded by Edward III and 1348 is the oldest shivu reorder in Britain. I mean, cool. I love the history. And I certainly love

medieval English history. Some of the coolest shit in the world. I mean, you got the war of the roses. You have the conquest from William the Conqueror, you know, just a whole host of world changing events. And I really find the history of England to be super fascinating. One of my favorite topics, but with that said, all these different orders and all of these different, you know, groups that they have, it's all outdated. Now the flip side of that argument is that it's about tradition. And there is a valid argument to be made there as well. 100%. Tradition is important. But so is holding people like Andrew accountable when they should be held accountable. Thousands of spectators gathered to watch the procession, which saw the nights of the order of the garter walk down to St. George's Chapel after their annual lunch. Among those in the procession, were the king, the queen, traditionally at the rear of the nights, while further ahead was the Prince of Wales, Duke of Edinburgh, and Princess Royal. The king, who is sovereign of the garter,

personally chooses 24 companions, who have held public office, contributed in a particular way to national life, or serve the monarch personally. So all of his buddies got it. It's a big-ass club, folks, and you are not invited. Other garter nights included former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair, Lord Patton, the last British governor of Hong Kong, and West End musical, Impressiario, Lord Lloyd Weber. All in their blue velvet mantles and black velvet hats, with white ostrich blooms. I'm pretty sure people that are starving in the UK don't give a shit. People that can't pay their bills don't give a shit. And people being targeted by grooming gangs? Sure they don't give a shit. But sure, have fun with your little costume party. During the St. George service, three new garter nights were invested, historian and former journalist Lord Peter Hennessy, ex-cabinant secretary, and head of civil service Lord Gusso Donald,

and former chief justice Lord Ian Burnett. So look, as far as Andrew goes, there's no way that he's going to be invited to any of this stuff ever again. And when you want to talk about people that are being punished, Andrew most certainly is being punished. Now it's not what it should be, especially if you believe that what Virginia was saying is true. But at least there are some kind of repercussions. And if you want the truth, I thought Andrew would be the last person to be dealing with them. I always thought that Andrew would come out of this pretty much unscathed. Oh sure, his reputation took a hit, but besides that, I didn't think that Andrew would end up facing any real consequence. Certainly never thought I'd see him get arrested, so who knows what will happen next? We know that the investigation has expanded, and we know that the investigators are looking for a whole host of crimes, whether that has to do with public corruption or anything else. If there's anything to find, I think they'll find it. But you know what I'm sure of? I'm sure that Prince Andrew's days of playing dress up and larping around, like some great night,

are long over. And if anybody has earned their fate, it's certainly the joe exotic of the Windsor family. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
