How Prince Andrew Left His Brother Holding The Bag

About this episode

Sources Reported in March 2022 that then-Prince Charles was prepared to provide most of the money Prince Andrew needed to complete his settlement with Virginia Giuffre, who had sued Andrew in New York alleging that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked her to him for sex when she was 17. According to the report, Charles was expected to lend Andrew as much as £7 million, with Queen Elizabeth II also contributing private funds, because Andrew did not have enough readily available cash to meet the settlement deadline. The arrangement was described as a family effort to prevent the civil case from proceeding to trial, with the monarchy deeply concerned about the damage another public examination of Andrew’s Epstein relationship could cause. Andrew continued to deny Giuffre’s allegations, and the settlement contained no admission of liability.

At the time, the plan was for Andrew to repay Charles and the Queen once money arrived from the sale of his Swiss chalet in Verbier, which was valued at roughly £17 million, but the sale proceeds were not expected quickly enough to satisfy the settlement timetable. The report also said Charles had been among those urging Andrew to settle after the possibility arose that he would have to give sworn evidence in the case, raising fears inside the royal family of another spectacle resembling his disastrous 2019 Newsnight interview. The episode underscored just how dependent Andrew had become on the institution surrounding him: after years of controversy over Epstein, he was reportedly unable to finance the resolution of Giuffre’s lawsuit on his own and instead relied on private money from his mother and older brother to make the case disappear before it ever reached a courtroom. Later reporting has disputed whether Charles ultimately contributed personally, but the 2022 report specifically described him as the principal source of the proposed loan.

What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. It looks like we're getting some more answers about how Prince Andrew's bitch asks plans on paying for his lawsuit. We've heard before that the queen and his brother Charles were going to pony up some doe to help him out of this bind. Well now the son is reporting that Charles is about to pony up 7 million pounds to help his brother get out of this absolutely terrible position. He's put himself and the family in. So now imagine being his brother, imagine being Charles. You got your own bullshit going on. Nobody really likes you anyway. And now your molester ass brother shows up and he's like, hey look dude I'm going to need to borrow 7 million pounds because you know I was hanging out with Epstein and I kind of was a douche.

Imagine what your reaction would be. But this dude has to come out of the pocket now and come up with the 7 million pounds to pay for his brother's nonsense. Now we know that Prince Andrew certainly doesn't have that kind of doe on hand. He's a grifter. He's lived in the basement down at Balmoral for how long still becomes a married man and still lives on his mom's property. You know the deal. So he didn't have that kind of doe sitting around and the big question was where is he going to get the money to pay Virginia. Lot of people were speculating it would come from here or there. But the obvious point of origin for this money was always the royal family. And the question becomes will there be any public money used according to this article there will be no public money used. But I kind of find that hard to believe considering the royals are funded by the people of England no.

Oh I know they have these land grants and everything but where did they get all of that stuff. Did it just magically appear one day they woke up and the Easter bunny of property showed up and gave them a bunch of land or was that land granted to them by the will of the English people the subjects of the UK. Because let's remember everything that the royal family has it's because the people of the UK have decided that it's theirs to give to them. So when they say the money doesn't come from the actual citizens of the United Kingdom I find it laughable. It's not like the queen or Charles have ever had a real job right there job has been to administer the country as royals and do whatever it is that the royals are supposed to do. The real question though is if these royals were gone tomorrow would it really affect life that much with the people of the UK's lives be affected that much there nothing but figureheads at this point. And I don't know why they're afford it as much respect and as much honor as they are

to be honest with you again just the opinion of an outsider. But it seems to me that all they do is take advantage just like your run of the mill shitty politician would. And then when things go south for them when you know prince Andrew gets caught up with Jeffrey Epstein they have nothing to say about it. Oh this is prince Andrew's problem the whole run on nonsense that we've gotten from the crown this whole entire time. Frankly I'm tired of it sick of the crown sick of the royals sick of all of these so called elites and I'm certainly sick of this moron prince Andrew. So the fact that he had to grovel to his brother and ask for some money that's kind of a bit of justice isn't it we know that they don't like each other in the best of times. So now the clown prince has to go to the crown prince and ask him for seven million pounds that has to be a kick in the shorts for sure.

So at least there's a we can take that from all of this and have a little bit of joy in that at least the fact that he has to grovel and ask his brother for this money. It's sad though when you really think about the whole entire thing and you look at it what a pathetic human being. Imagine being this dude the whole world at your feet go anywhere you want spend time with whoever you want do whatever you want and don't you don't have to pay for any of it. But that's not good enough for you. You have to hang out with Epstein you need more. Oh I have to have more I need private jets. I need young girls running around all over the place. When in reality somebody like this could have used their great influence for great good. But he chose not to do that. So that's why I think he's such a scumbag folks. That's why I think out of just about all of the people involved in this. This dude's one of the worst. He had the whole entire world at his fingertips.

Imagine being the Prince of England and making these choices and then expecting anyone to have any sympathy for you. I mean besides the lady of Victoria. I don't know anybody that has sympathy for this clown. All right so let's jump into this article from the sun and let's see what they have to say about who's picking up the tab for Prince Andrew and his stupid ass behavior. Headline Charles Lone to Andy. Prince Charles bankroll shamed Andrew's $7 million pound sex abuse payout to Virginia Roberts. This article was authored by Matt Wilkinson over at the sun. Prince Charles is to bankroll broke brother Andrew's multi-million dollar sex abuse payout with a loan to save the family honor. Now can you imagine take a minute and think to yourself what you would say to your brother if he showed up after all of this nonsense and he's talking about a can I borrow seven million pounds?

I guess it's a little different for normal people right? We don't have the reputation of the royal family to worry about like Charles does and I'm guessing and obviously this is a guess Charles is saying to himself I don't need this bullshit this is the last thing I need. So I guess I'll just pay this try and make this to go away so when I take the crown I can put this behind me and say hey look I did what I had to do we you know punished Andrew blah blah blah blah blah blah but the reality of the situation is this is never gonna go away no matter what this is a stain on the Windsor family this is a stain on the queen as much as people don't want to admit it and it is certainly a stain on old Uncle Touchy and the fact that the crown was silent for so long the fact that the crown was inactive for so long people aren't going to forget that now there's some loyalists to the crown some people who feel like the crown can do no wrong and those people are

hopelessly lost but all kidding aside it's such a bad look for them that I don't understand how they think it's going to go away or anyone's going to forget forget about it especially considering that Virginia is probably going to write a book at some point or speak about what happened I know according to the deal she can talk until after the Jubilee according to reports but after that it's game on the Prince of Wales 73 is stumping up most of the agreed seven million pounds with the queen also chipping in but no public cash is being used see I find that hard to believe what was the queen out there work in the night shift at Arby's the Prince Charles down there by the the river cleaning it out what do you mean how where are they getting this money from it's from that property it's from the holdings you mean the properties and the holdings that the British people

the citizens of the UK have granted them so they are getting the money from public it's just around about way oh okay understood let's not act like these are you know independently wealthy people who have created something to help society they're not Elon Musk you know they're not any some some great innovators they just happen to be born into the right family the unemployed Duke of York 62 now has 10 days to deposit the money so that as a quesart for junior Roberts will drop her sex abuse for it so get that bag ready go and drop it off you in yours I'm staring at him right now and his stupid English soldier uniform or whatever the hell he's wearing and god damn he looks goofy in it what did you ever do to win all of those metals bro what a clown maybe I should just dress up like a knight from the 11th century and where you know all sorts of arms and house colors and run around like a jackass like this dude

just like Jeffrey Epstein huh nice outfit bro he will pay back Charles and her majesty 95 when he gets the cash from the 17 million pound cell of his ski shallot in Verbie Switzerland which could take two months so his brother fronted him the doe obviously and his mom helped him out and he'll get it back when this cell for the ski shallot is all said and done now the question becomes how was he able to afford that in the first place oh I'm guessing he used public funds right you see what's going on here they'll say one thing but in reality if you follow the money it's obvious where all of this money comes from so just be real about it if he fails to repay andro will lose money from the will of the queen who is believed to have funded his legal battle so he's it's basically coming out of his future settlement or future money from his mom's purse when she passes on like her will or whatever

so either way Charles is getting his money back imagine that though imagine not having trust in your brother so much that you have to have an writing that if you don't pay me back when mom dies it comes out of your portion yeah that sounds like a real loving lifestyle a real loving family you royals can keep all of that weird shit the son understands that it was Prince Charles who told Andrew to settle last month after lawyers said the duke would give a witness statement to rape accuser miss Robert civil case in New York so that definitely rings true this guy doesn't want to deal with this we've talked about this a lot he's going to be king soon and the last thing he needs is uncle touchy the clown prince dragging him down the crown prince it is not a position he wants to be in he's not loved by the people the way the queen is he's not a beloved figure so when the queen passes on and he takes the throne there's going to be a lot of animosity from

a lot of people I'm guessing the people who might have been friendly to the royals because of the queen a lot of that's going to end Charles hasn't made a lot of friends as far as it goes so you know the things that the the royal family are used to they might be winding down the royals feared a repeat of his heavily criticized newsnight interview in 2019 yeah you think you think Emily maintenance gave him the business and busted him up in that interview while throwing him basically softball questions how do you think a seasoned interterritor interrogator would handle it if he was in a room with Andrew with this dude sitting across from him or a video deposition even we've all seen this guy blunder and buffoon his way around zero chance he has any ability to out a seasoned prosecutor who is interrogating him so yeah Charles is like look you've already done

enough damage here's the seven million pounds go pay off your fine you dumb asshole and then kick rocks beat it in it Andrew told of his dealings with convicted pedophile finance here Jeffrey Epstein found dead in jail in 2019 while held on sex trafficking charges so we all know about the interview we all know how terrible it was and it was so bad it wasn't even a car crash we're talking Hindenburg level of explosions here he said he had no recollection of ever meeting miss Roberts but was accused of having sex with her three times in 2001 when she was 17 speaking on the decision to loan Andrew the money the source said there were family discussions about how to take a little from here and a little from there imagine all these rich people will take a little from here a little from there school up the bank account and pay it out and be done with it already once once the money hit from his uh the sale of his house hits the bank account he can pay back

his brother and whoever else has lent him money but that payment of Virginia has to be paid on time he can't rely on selling the shallet the shallet too many things can go wrong and the court won't wait for property queries yeah that sounds about right look the court has an established deadline either you pay up or you don't the court doesn't give a shit one way or the other so you know old grifter grifting tin over here had no money on the side didn't have a rainy day fund so of course he's gonna go to mommy and big brother to try and help him out and this is why people find all of these folks so disgusting and condemnable they're just to gross people every time they get themselves in a jam they can run to mommy or they can run to their buddy banker to get bailed out while the rest of us on the other hand have to go hat and hand to the bank to try and get a loan or whatever and then when you get there you're not even dealing with human beings anymore you're

you know you're on the phone dealing with some automated system punch your numbers in you're not even a person to these banks folks a friend of andru added he has no income or money to repay a bank loan so the family is the only way to guarantee the payment make sense we all know that he has no income well again squandered his whole life this dude could have become a scientist or whatever you want it to be instead he's jet setting around like a playboy thought the tap of unlimited dough was always gonna be running and he had no other plans just goes to show you what a short cited buffoon this guy is Prince Andrew who lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson at 31 room royal lodge at Windsor will pay miss Roberts uh around seven million pounds it includes a sum to her charity for sex trafficking survivors a spokesman for prince Andrew who denies miss

Roberts claims did not comment nor did spokesman for queen and prince Charles yeah no shit they want nothing to do with it they want nothing to do with commenting on this and the the crown and the the royal house it's been the same since the beginning you would think that they'd come out and they would forcefully condemn all of this but they haven't oh prince Andrew's dealing it with it on his own blah blah blah blah but at the same time he's going to them and using them as if they were an ATM machine so the the idea that the royals aren't paying for it or that the people aren't paying for it I guess if you're looking at it from this obtuse angle you could say that but really where does all of their wealth meaning the royals get generated from in the first place the people so the people are paying for this right not a great situation for the royal family to be in and it's certainly not a great situation for

Charles who is getting ready to take the throne and I would guess that as things move along and things continue to evolve we'll see less and less of Andrew anywhere that's probably going to be a stipulation by Charles look dude we don't want you around we don't want to see your face and we don't certainly don't want to see you trying to pop back up into public life there's definitely going to be stipulations he didn't just get this money for nothing that's not how these royals work everybody has a chip to pay even if it's your family and that's exactly what we're going to see here in my opinion now prince Andrew was certainly indebted to his brother and that's certainly not a place he wants to find himself all right folks that's going to do it for this morning's update more episodes are on the way and I will be back tonight with an evening update if you'd like to contact me you can do that at bobby kapuchi at proton mail dot com that's bobbiy cappu cci at proton mail dot com you can also find me on twitter at bobbiy underscore cappu cci
