New allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Last night an episode of 60 Minutes (Australia) aired and an allegation was
made that it wasn’t just girls who were trafficked to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor by Ghislane and Epstein - there were also young boys.

I’ve included the link below:

This allegation never made it into the book because the writer never had a second witness to concur. However, he revealed it in the 60 Minutes interview last night and 60 Minutes aired what is a defamatory allegation - which makes me think that 60 Minutes felt confident it was true (otherwise their lawyers would have killed the story). It was a very short reference but British Police need to interview Ghislane as to Andrew’s other victims.

Further, AIBU to think that the Royal Protection officers should be made to answer questions as to criminality involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor?

Also, how can Beatrice & Eugenie still support their disgusting father after everything we know? Do they not care about their own children? Particularly Beatrice’s young step son. Hopefully Andrew is not allowed anywhere near this boy.

Prince Philip maintained a close friendship with Penelope Knatchbull but not sure this was a FWB situation. She was one of the few people invited to Prince Philip’s funeral service, in my view, they were just friends.

Why do we care more if he abused boys than if he abused girls?

The boys in Kincora never did (or will) get justice.

MaccyDeeeFavs · 03/11/2025 18:29

I wrote something positive not at all claiming that Penny and Phil were fwb and it's automatically being reviewed and censored.

So, my post mentioning Prince Phillip’s close companion was hidden immediately. This always happens when her name is mentioned.

I can see it right below this post?

But, Horsie, that's exactly what you are doing. I'm sure you aren't one but you sound like a credulous idiot believing the fairytale then sticking their hands over their ears refusing to listen when you're told the truth.

All the evidence of the inbred shit show that is the Windsor family has been conveniently collated in a fab little book by Norman Baker, called And what do you do? Not a pleasant read for royalists.

My opinion is that the press should have some proof before putting about these rumours. (An example would be a journalist from a reputable publication saying that they were told such-and-such by a watertight source who wishes to remain anonymous.)

I want SOME evidence before believing every lurid rumour that's served up. Only in the cyber-world is that considered a bad thing. 🙄

Catullus5 · 03/11/2025 18:33

Horsie · 03/11/2025 17:58

That's a very long way of admitting that you have no proof and that there's no evidence.

I disagree with the press putting about baseless, lurid rumours that are then repeated ad nauseam by credulous idiots who believe everything that's put in front of them without applying any critical thinking at all. HTH.

Edited

There's a lot in Lownie's book that would suggest various offences though more fraud / corruption than sexual. The difficulty is that nothing was ever investigated when it should have been, but that doesn't mean anyone in particular should presume his innocence. Some years back Fergie got stung by the Fake Sheikh asking for money for access to AMW. That would suggest an offence by her and investigation might have provided evidence of collusion by AMW. We will never know. It was never looked into. Their practice of crying poor to avoid creditors or pay then less looks awfully close to fraud too, given that they always had money when they wanted it.

Crikey.

How naÏve can you get?

I am getting very tired of being called naive. It's called critical thinking. The media spreads all these lurid rumours about Philip and no journalist has EVER been able to produce a source to corroborate it, even anonymously. It's called critical thinking - ironically, the opposite of naivete.

spookyscaryseagulls · 03/11/2025 18:29

I know there's speculation about Uncle Louis and that establishment but AMW?

I honestly wonder whether that's actually why the IRA went for him.

Horsie · 03/11/2025 18:36

Donttellempike · 03/11/2025 18:22

As I said. Delusional 🤷‍♀️

If it's delusional to want the media to supply some proof for their allegations before I believe everything they peddle online to get eyeballs, then yes, I'm delusional.

And it doesn't have to be absolute proof - it could be a source that the journalist knows but keeps anonymous. But they've never even had that where PP is concerned.

Catullus5 · 03/11/2025 18:25

I understand that the biology of it is that men's desire for sex is more inherent while women's is responsive. Ie men don't need as much to get going and don't need as much emotional closeness.

I am sure it's been mentioned on this enormous thread but Lownie's book claims that AMW was sexually abused before he was a teen and was subjected to sexual abuse on a number of occasions while a teen and perhaps that's why he went sex mad. There is mention of a father of a friend of his hiring them both sex workers while AMW and friend were in their early teens. Disgusting. And this was in a time when sexual morals were harsh compared to now. There's something very strange about that set of society.

Oversexualised behaviour is a known response to sexual trauma (and non sexual trauma) but we are more likely to see it as an aberration, moral failing or a sign of something being wrong in women than in men.

That’s a weird take. She was the interviewer. It was the BBC (via their staff, including Emily Matliss) that made and broadcast the interview.

A lesser interviewer might not have exposed him so effectively for the repulsive liar that he is? PA was quite obviously rotten so they had nothing to lose and lots of ratings to gain by broadcasting that.

My point was really that the BBC only does what suits it and when it wants to protect individuals or present a certain angle, it will do so. When she stated a bald fact about Cummings "he broke the rules" she was accused of flouting impartiality guidelines 😂. Cummings broke the lockdown rules, it's a fact.

Postcardsender · 03/11/2025 18:43

I’m not at all convinced by the teflon status of York daughters. They are not private citizens - they have royal titles and benefit from subsidised royal perks, and with that comes responsibilities.

Lownie alludes in his book to them having accepted money and gifts (as adults) from some of their father’s dodgy business associates. If this can be stood up, I think they are in trouble. Ferguson also allegedly bought and recently sold some expensive property in Belgravia for their benefit - I would not be surprised at all if some or all of the funds for that came from dodgy sources.

They also both have very nice central London properties within the royal palaces that they pay peanuts for, even though they don’t live their full time and don’t do any royal duties. I think those arrangements - previously brokered/insisted on by their grasping parents - are going to come under question.

Finally, the moral issues. It’s unclear whether they take their father at his word and believe his is innocent of everything, despite all the evidence to the contrary, or whether they know he’s done some bad things but want to support him anyway. However they are going to come under increasing pressure to say whether they have empathy towards the victims of abuse, particularly if it’s proved they have directly benefited from Epstein money. That is going to be tricky given their parents have thus far resolutely refused to consider the victims.

Cerezo · 03/11/2025 18:45

This latest attempt to get him distanced is because of shit that is about to come out, not shit that already has.

Hotflushesandchilblains · 03/11/2025 18:04

Yes, this is a fair point. But they are also both adults now, who have autonomy and who benefit from tax payers money. To be fair, I think there are a lot of RF members whose financials are 'off' - its just the Andrew is so repulsive it is shining a light on all of it.

Absolutely.

I think I’m going a bit softer on them because I once worked with a lady (professional/ client) who was still being raped by her father in her early 20s.
The extent of the control an abusive man can wield is beyond most normal people’s comprehension.

Velveteenrabbitt · 03/11/2025 18:47

Is he going to face prosecution now / in the future?
This would surely register him as a sex offender with a sentence and at least wont be allowed access to kids , including his grandchildren?

Oh, that is awful. And yes, if they are blameless and were oblivious (and who knows that their parents sex life is like, really, especially when there are nannies to put you to bed, and fuck off huge houses to live in) its very sad. And who wants to believe the worst about family members? Most of us dont if we love them. BUT, if it is a case of being raised to be entitled and take dodgy money then they have to face the music. It seems like there are lots of ties from dodgy regimes to the RF (I have been watching youtubes about famous jewelry and the amount given by Middle Eastern kingdoms is astounding). If they are accepting money that is less than whiter than white, they wont be unusual. But just like the MPs who got caught up in the expenses scandal years ago, that is no excuse.

JacknDiane · 03/11/2025 18:55

I wonder what the York princesses think of their mother taking them to epsteins house AFTER he was released from prison? Can you imagine the AIBU thread on here???

They dont seem bothered

No argument from me. (Although I might quietly feel a little sorry for them) 😂

I haven't read it. Does he have credible sources? At least, sources that he considers credible, even if they remain anonymous to the reader.

I won’t bang on about this as I don’t want to be permanently banned from MN. I’d just like to point out again, that the name of Prince Phillip’s close companion, the woman he lived with at the end of his life. Well, her same is banned on here. It’s not just that someone reports you for mentioning it and your post is eventually hidden. It’s hidden immediately you write it. That’s the kind of power the RF have to hide things. Google her name (it’s all over the internet) and try writing it on MN yourself and see what happens.

At a very frail 99 I doubt Phil would be up for much extra marital rumpy pumpy 😆

I am reading Lownie's book at the moment. Yes it is very well sourced.

As soon as you post a message with that name, it gets automatically hidden for review. I guess it gets reviewed and then released if deemed acceptable?
