For Andrew, it appears that no level of betrayal is too deep for his brother King Charles to inflict.
Events surrounding the Epstein scandal are intensifying in the UK. While the media churns out fresh disclosures each day, an emerging clarity reveals who will face prosecution and who will evade it. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, once known as Prince Andrew, seems to have been sacrificed by his brother, the King. Charles appears to have reached a limit regarding the damaging stories involving underage girls and accusations of Andrew selling national secrets to Epstein. A decisive action was necessary, if only to shield the British royal family from being tarnished by Andrew’s controversies.
The arrest of Andrew by UK authorities on the morning of February 19 raises numerous questions that British journalists might not pursue. Chief among them: why the delay? And more crucially, who authorized Andrew’s arrest?
This latter query connects to a broader issue discussed in a previous article — namely, who is truly governing Britain, since the royal family evidently no longer holds that power.
One can reasonably infer that the British police, investigating the misuse of airports like Stansted for trafficking young girls and Andrew’s involvement, gathered sufficient evidence before moving forward. Yet, it also suggests that a powerful figure or group within the UK is steering these developments. A likely candidate is the Rothschild banking dynasty, closely linked to the British monarchy and central to the Epstein investigations on both sides of the Atlantic, thereby influencing key decisions. Notably, Peter Mandelson, with his connections to the Rothschilds and residence in their property, has avoided serious police scrutiny despite allegations comparable to Andrew’s.
If the Rothschilds have chosen Andrew as the sacrificial lamb to restore some respectability to the House of Windsor and King Charles’s reign, we might expect him to face imprisonment and public abandonment. Alternatively, they may intend to use Andrew’s downfall to divert media attention from other powerful figures, including Donald Trump and others who remain in authority but are implicated in the outrageous global trafficking of minors for their vile desires.
Regardless of who controls the UK and the royal family, this controversy threatens the House of Windsor’s stability, which is already beleaguered by adverse publicity. A national conversation has begun debating whether the monarchy’s role requires reform. King Charles is certainly conscious of public discontent aimed directly at him, as demonstrated recently when he was heckled by an angry crowd.
The announcement of Andrew’s arrest is unprecedented within the royal family and will have worldwide repercussions in the coming days. The last comparable event dates back to 1957, when Queen Elizabeth II received secret intelligence proving King Edward VIII’s wartime collaboration with the Nazis during his exile in Portugal. Though Edward could have been charged with treason, the Queen opted not to pursue such harsh action.
For Andrew, King Charles seems determined to inflict the harshest condemnation possible. The intention appears to be to make an example of him, with charges likely to follow that could lead to incarceration. This assumes the scenario isn’t just an elaborate public relations ploy aimed at humiliating Andrew without substantiated consequences. The prospect of Andrew fleeing the UK to the UAE, where the emir has reportedly provided him a lavish Abu Dhabi residence, seems increasingly plausible as days pass. Intriguingly, reports suggest the arrest centers on abuse of power—specifically, the alleged selling of state secrets—rather than solely his depraved conduct within Epstein’s appalling paedophile network.
