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:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hk-9SfptZlU&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD

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.

My concern is this will be buried just like the firm buried Virginia’s allegations. There was no investigation and Andrew got away with it.

I’m outraged. Particularly given that these latest allegations (if they are true) further substantiate Andrew being a sex offender as it would indicate he didn’t have a preference so long as the person was young.

You seem to have decided they are true.

I think there is a reason the King has acted now, there is more to come.
I think Andrew will be extradited to America to give evidence and Sarah as well.
If the pair of them don't end up serving time I will be very surprised.
They both have made some very dubious choices and mixed with some very dubious people.

And prey tell, what good did the millions of £££ do for VG? I am so sick to death of whataboutery. And victim blaming. I was sexually abused and decided what the actual fuck is the point of reporting it. His word against mine, no witnesses, victim blaming (I was wearing a short skirt and went back to his house...so, you know, I was obviously up for it!

How did you get to victim-blaming from a rational desire to corroborate a serious accusation? You can't just say "There was an orgy with me and seven other victims." It's wrong to fling accusations like that around without anything whatsoever to back it up. Even if there was just one girl who wanted to speak anonymously to confirm the account. But I am not going to randomly believe every rumour peddled by journalists hungry for eyeballs. People are tried in the court of opinion these days and they can lose everything with no legal conviction, and I think that's completely wrong. (Not talking about Andrew; he's clearly a pig who has no right to hold the noble rank of prince.)

readingmakesmehappy · 03/11/2025 08:13

Why haven’t more names come out? Why is it just Andrew? Is it the American establishment closing ranks and pointing to a British prince to distract from too many questions being asked there?

Whatever he has or hasn't done, thank God the King has seen fit to remove his titles. He's now just a rancid, creep called Andrew.

Rumpledandcrumpled · 03/11/2025 08:17

I just commented to my husband on this and he said he watched something the other day and this guy had a list of names and it was young boys, and trump was in the list, his feeling is they were all in it together, as in this was a proper paedophile ring of powerful and wealthy men. I really hope it is untrue and I struggle to beleive it. A 17 year old trafficked woman is bad enough.

Haven't rtft, but maybe this broadcast was signaled ahead of time to the RF, and was perhaps the motivation behind the action taken this week by KC, and the continuing stripping of military honorifics.

Whether it be this broadcast, or something else, I’d agree with more coming to light in the future being the driver behind the loss of titles etc.

I agree with that completely. He is not fit to hold any royal rank, and it's come far, far too late. I actually think it's completely disgusting that it took the RF so long. Virginia should have lived to see this, and she didn't, thanks to their reluctance to punish an utterly vile member of their family no matter how badly he behaved.

EleanorReally · 03/11/2025 08:20

presumably there were some men who liked boys,
it doesnt mean all the men involved with Epstein liked boys

Wow...well, if this is true, I really hope that it all comes out. How (potentially) utterly dreadful.

I don't think I would struggle to believe it...these wealthy and powerful people tend to be pretty fucking awful. Look at Trump.

EleanorReally · 03/11/2025 08:21

why do boys make it worse? @Rumpledandcrumpled

ThePoshUns · 03/11/2025 08:23

Of course there were boys, why else were the likes of Peter Mandelson there?
im not implying under age boys but it’s obvious it was never just girls.

LlamaNoDrama · 03/11/2025 08:24

VG had a photo. What evidence is anyone else likely to have? Probably none.

I thought she was referring to age. As in, it's bad enough that someone who was 17 was trafficked, but someone who's 8, say, it's even worse because they are truly helpless. I appreciate that Virginia may have felt trapped and helpless, but someone of her age still has a lot more options than a young child.

Horsie · 03/11/2025 08:26

LlamaNoDrama · 03/11/2025 08:24

It was QUITE the photo, though. It was real - a few different people saw it - and why else would Andrew have been upstairs in that tiny mews house if not to sleep with her? That picture really did say a thousand words.

RoamingToaster · 03/11/2025 08:27

I was coming on to point out about Mandelson and how it would cast a different light on him if boys were there too but see others have made the connection too.

In regards Andrew’s daughters, unless family members are actively helping their abusive family member then I don’t judge them. I’ve never been in that situation. It must be hard to be in that situation and who knows how messed up your thoughts would be. I’d just leave them alone.

lifeonmars100 · 03/11/2025 08:28

Epstein must have had a massive store of recordings and other materials that he used or planned to use for blackmail. One of the reasons I reckon Mr Mountbatten Windsor has become the current fall guy is because he is so thick, arrogant and entitled that it never occurred to him that some of his vile activities would emerge into the public domain

Middlechild3 · 03/11/2025 08:28

A former Israeli prime minister was named as one of the abusers of these underage trafficked girls, as well as a now ex Prince. If the other abusers involved have that level of power there will never be a full enquiry. It would be deemed too politically sensitive. A lot of powerful people benefited from the death of Epstein and the secrets that went with him. I do hope for all the victims there is to be a thorough investigation but I don't hold my breath. Powerful people live by different rules.

From what I understand, Epstein, apart from being a pervert, was also a 'fixer'. His parties brought people together. At these parties any taste or fantasy could be indulged.

AMW will not have been invited because of his scintillating personality but to add a gloss of respectatability. In 2001 when AMW met VG, he was at the end of his Naval career and was in MOD. Who else went to these parties because AMW made them respectable?

But these parties compromised the guests. Even if they didnt participate in any/all 'activities' there is guilt by association. If you view the parties as a honey trap, who else was being trapped?

Who wanted people honey trapped? China was a growing economy, Putin had just risen to power in Russia.

A while ago I watched an interesting documentary about espionage. One of the things discussed was the use of honey traps. What they create are 'assets', people who can be made to act in particular ways because of fear of exposure.

US intelligence is who wanted rich and powerful men honeytrapped, who else.

One of the earliest publications to break the new stories on Epstein was the Miami Herald by investigative reporter Julie K Brown. They highlighted Epstein’s plea bargain, He could have gone to prison for life - instead he served just 13 months and the FBI investigation into the international sex trafficking ring was shut down in a non-prosecution agreement. Unusually the wording of the deal gave immunity to potential “co-conspirators“. And this deal was kept secret from the victims, which is not actually legal.

Um, hello? For not letting him get away with it? For the purpose of taking him down lower than Virginia managed in her lifetime? For the millions of compensation? LOADS of good reasons! VG blazed a trail and made it possible for many, many victims to come forward, and support each other. As for not ending up like her, before she died, no one would have known that she would end up like that, would she? She accused Andrew, and it was a huge story, and I find it odd that no one else came forward to say that had been trafficked to him when they'd have had the company of VG and all the other Epstein victims that had come forward. Use your head!

We don’t know what became of the other young women / girls though. Virginia obviously managed to get out from the situation she was put into but the others may have had very difficult lives after this - drugs, prostitution, abuse, possibly dead etc. those people are not commonly listened to in society.

Happyjoe · 03/11/2025 08:29

I guess it should come as no shock that a man who found it totally acceptable to have sex with trafficked girls would stop at just those.
What an awful horrible thing to have done, no doubt allowed to go on a lot longer due to his behaviour being protected because of who he is.

Can you link to something that shows she took Virginia to court and won? I can’t find it. And I found nothing about winning $7.5 million.

All I found is that she was taking Virginia to court because of something Virginia wrote about her in an unpublished book. (Virginia saw Oh as an aggressor, and Oh says no it was Virginia): Virginia died before the court case. And that a court case could still proceed.

I can’t seem to link the video, she was interviewed on Piers Morgan Uncensored last week, it’s called ‘you know nothing’. It’s typical Piers with everyone shouting over each other, so you can give most of it a miss, but she is interviewed towards the end of the video, and starting around 52mins Piers reads out about her court win and being allowed to go after VG’s estate.

ThePoshUns · 03/11/2025 08:33

Weren’t there rumours that Epstein was a MOSSAD (sp?) agent?

ColinOfficeTrolley · 03/11/2025 05:23

Its awful, but for a lot of these men, satisfying their 'secret' bisexual or gay urges peadophilic urges would have been a much more powerful offering as it wouldn't have been nearly as accessible elsewhere.

Fixed that for you

God - I wish people would stop with the ‘fixed it for you’ patronising BS. The poster is allowed to express themselves in good faith. You don’t need to literally scrub out their opinion because it doesn’t align with your take on the story @ColinOfficeTrolley

There is nothing wrong with being being gay or bisexual, but for many of the men of Epstein’s age, homosexuality was very much hidden and seen as a perversion.

this had a huge impact on their behaviour.

we don’t know if young men/boys were being trafficked, so we can’t comment on what age they were. Maybe it was paedophilia, but we don’t know

I don’t honestly understand how Beatrice apparently visited that vile man, along with her mum and dad after his conviction. Who Fergie described as ‘ a Supreme man ‘ who even uses that kind of language to describe anyone! Also the fact the he was a guest at Beatrice’s 18th photographed along with Harvey Weinstein and that disgusting enabler Maxwell ( I’d like to use a more fitting description for her, but I’d probably be banned on here) The factor that Virginia Guiffre met those 2 awful beings at Trumps place a Mar- a- lago unsurprisingly speak volumes about him as well. I hope that karma pays a visit to that despicable excuse for a woman in jail, but I’m just glad that Charles has a backbone and stripped his entitled Narcissist brother of his title and privileges. Those awful beings and Sarah have blood on their hands. I just can’t stop thinking about the torment Virginia Guiffre must have endured. Unfortunately if you have been abused from a very young age you ultimately become a magnet for these monsters. I only hope she is now at peace and her children have a good life 🙏🙏

Fergies fawning was possibly because he had dirt on Andrew. He was also rich and influential, just what she likes to rub shoulders with. She wasn't going to lose any advantages due to some allegations. I too hope Maxwell is bricking it every time her cell door opens unexpectedly. Give it time I'm sure she'll have some or other unfortunate accident.
