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.

If they - they being anyone who has the power - would put their money where their mouth is and unsealed the documents relating to Andrew's years as Trade Envoy - representing the UK - that might go some way to mitigating the PR disaster they are dealing with now.

William would do well to separate the church from the royal family and run it more like a secular institution. That could make the monarchy be more modern, focused on representation and inclusive in a diverse country. He should slim down the royal family along the lines of the Scandi model, focusing on direct heirs and removing titles from family members who don’t have a working role. There should be an expectations for 'spares' to learn a profession and be expected to earn an honest living when they grow up.

I know not to get my news from TikTok, but someone posted a few weeks ago their theory on why the US hasn’t released the files. They suggested it was because it wasn’t just girls (who cares about girls) but because it was also boys. Powerful men would be far more embarrassed by boys.

I haven’t stopped thinking about it since

It’s because there are literally 100s of rich powerful men who were involved with Epstein in some way, although not necessarily with the girls. He was good friends with Trump and Clinton. Clinton has been subpoenaed to appear before the congressional committee investigation into Epstein. However nothing truly seismic is likely to be uncovered while Trump is in office. He has the power to shut down the entire thing.

Like the Queen. God only knows how they managed to have a son like Andrew - none of his siblings are sexual weirdos like him, either!

Rumours circulated about Andrew's parentage from the moment he was born (If not before!). He was supposed to have been fathered by the Queen's racehorse trainer Lord Porchester. I suspect that was the case. Andrew was probably not fully accepted by Prince Philip, who had to keep schtum, and it's why he was her favourite son.

Your experience sounds absolutely horrific, and I'm so sorry you went through that. 💐

Perhaps I didn't put it very well, but I meant that journalists shouldn't be allowed to fling around accusations like that without having any evidence. They're all hungry for eyeballs, and I think it's wrong that people can lose everything by being tried in the court of public opinion. I'm just sick of lurid allegations being bandied about by the media - journalists should not be allowed to just say whatever they like. They have so much power. Remember when Joanna Yeates was murdered by her neighbour and the papers accused the landlord, just because he was slightly funny-looking? It ruined his life! And just this week we had an accusation that Prince William had threatened his cousins with consequences if they didn't get their dad to vacate Royal Lodge. The media should have at least SOMETHING to back up their accusations, or put a sock in it. I feel as if we are all manipulated in order to get precious clicks.

I think it's wrong that people can lose everything by being attacked by men who take what they want, and then get away with it, which is the FAR more likely scenario. Men are more likely to be raped themselves than falsely accused of rape: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/gang-rape-trial-ayia-napa-false-accusation-sexual-assault-cyprus-israel-a9131796.html

Kuba Shand-Baptiste: Men are 230 times more likely to be raped than wrongly called a rapist

Whatever the truth in the horrific case of the Ayia Napa gang rape trial, the frequency of false accusations of sexual assault has been inflated by our own prejudices

If Andrew was having helicopters delivering girls (and boys?) to yachts then the Royal Family was not just aware but complicit. Security officers would have been aware of everything and reporting it all and the late Queen clearly allowed him just to carry on.

KCIII is hardly free of scandal himself. Friendships/relationships with 3 paedophiles that we are aware of: Saville, Ball and Mountbatten. No doubt there's more. I hope there's a referendum to vote to abolish the monarchy in my lifetime, I suspect it would be far more popular than they think.

BadgernTheGarden · 03/11/2025 09:48

The photo was hardly damning, Andrew with his arm round a happy looking, smiling young woman, with an older woman smiling in the background.

The photo in itself wasn’t damning. Andrew damned himself with the Emily Maitless interview, all by himself.
He failed to offer any sympathy for Epstein's victims, and did not regret his association with Epstein.

Then there are the lies -
He was photographed with a woman he couldn’t remember meeting, on the upstairs landing of a house he’d never been upstairs in.
He wasn’t there because he was at Pizza Hut in Woking.
He couldn’t sweat.
Pull the other one! And then the arrogant twat thought the interview had gone well. More recently of course we have the proof that his last meeting with Epstein was not, as he stated, around the time of that walk in Central Park.

When it came out that Mandelson was involved, I suspected straight away that boys could be involved. What’s the “yum,yum” email about?

I can fully understand why any one of the victims wouldn’t want to come forward. Maybe they were afraid, maybe they were ashamed, maybe they didn’t want their reputation trashed, maybe they just wanted to move on, who knows?

I cannot imagine what they're going through. They probably love their dad. They must feel so confused and let down - by BOTH parents. Many of us have (or have had) parents that we feel able to look up to in some way, people we feel we can trust...they don't have that. They must feel very alone. But I suppose maybe it's always been that way for them, with those two as parents. I suspect their real stable, parent-like figures were the Queen and Prince Philip.

I hope Edward and Sophie are there for them. They seem stable and nice. A bit younger and warmer than Princess Anne, and Charles and William are beset by their own stress and troubles, so probably can't be there for them that much - especially as they're the ones who de-princed their dad.

I bet Beatrice and Eugenie would give up everything they have if they could swap it for good parents.

I wonder why Beatrice and Eugenie haven’t issued a statement stating their solidarity with the poor victims, especially as Eugenie is involved with a charity supporting abused women?

Americano75 · 03/11/2025 11:31

Ah, I saw a lot of comments last week wondering if the timing of last week's announcement signalled a desire to get ahead of more revelations. Looks like this might be it.

TwoTuesday · 03/11/2025 11:31

I agree that there is much more to come out yet.
The Lownie book is absolutely shocking and I haven't even got to the Epstein bit. The amount of money Fergie made, we are talking millions and millions, from the Budgie books, Weightwatchers, photoshoots, appearances.. and still she took hundreds of thousands from various rich men, who were queuing up to bail her out. She would take money from anyone! She had effectively won the lottery many times over and still spent it all, leaving bills unpaid. It's almost unbelievable. Quite disgusting in a way. She has outearned Harry and Meghan by a factor of 10, I'd say.

Who can actually remember which exact date their child had a birthday party 20 years ago?
You might remember the party, you might remember who was there, unless you held the party on actual birthday every year you aren't going to remember nor remember the time.

Also these are high society people, they aren't exactly going to go running to the press to have their name in the papers or risk the papers miss quoting, changing context of what they say.

I’d take, oh yes - we went to PE for petunias 11th birthday which was on the Wednesday that week. Here’s a photo with AMB in the background. As the accused date is a Friday, it’s entirely possible we didn’t go on the actual day of her birthday and waited until the Friday.

To be fair, I know people who have been in pizza restaurants at the same time as current royals and then been asked to delete any photos they may have taken, but even without a photo, you’d be backing the prince up. There’s a lot not to lose for anyone who knew him to be in a pizza restaurant at that approximate time to speak up, but rather more for any trafficked and abused girls who hopefully now have thier own families (and I hope, haven’t succumbed to PTSD).

Eyesopenwideawake · 03/11/2025 11:36

Michael Wolff alleges that there are photos of Trump with both underage boys and girls. Only an allegation so far.

Rumpledandcrumpled · 03/11/2025 11:36

To be fair here the fact mandelson was there would say is indicative of boys being trafficked, I do not think it is Evidence Andrew had sex with boys. Not saying he didn’t, and if they were there at the same time, it meant he would have known, but I personally don’t see it as evidence andrew did that.

madaboutpurple · 03/11/2025 11:45

I reckon there will be a lot more information about Andrew formerly a prince. I really don't know how the royals will recover from all this.

Enough to comment on the failings of her siblings though, right?

The family will be doing very nicely from her death if they inherited the pay off by QE.

And this hideous comment.

VG children will have suffered significant emotional deprivation before their poor mother took her own life when they were estranged from her. They have a lifetime of huge distress around what their mother suffered, how she coped etc played out on the global media. No $$$ will compensate for the MH issues they will be left with and without their mother.

" But then he would parachute back in … Very occasionally, taking you by surprise in some far off places … Or in one of his glorious homes he likes to share with his friends (yum yum) … But wherever he is in the world, he remains my best pal!”

  • Mandelson on Epstein.

Yum yum.

Mandelson will need a new line to hide behind if it's true Epstein was also trafficking boys. He's used being gay and Epstein being a trafficker of girls as his 'I know nothing' shield.

norestforthewickedwitch · 03/11/2025 11:55

A colleague of mine said a few years ago that he was aware of Andrew basically taking his pick of young men when in the army or visiting- told this by a good friend of his who witnessed it.

Thought it would only be a matter of time before this came out if true.

My great aunt could tell you what went on with Prince Philip and his friends in Petworth House back in the day...the Queen wouldn´t have been seen dead there were her words.

C'mon then and tell us what your Aunt knows

Can we not leave the girls alone please?

Girls? They are almost 40yo women.

Who had plenty of time to come up, at the very least, with some sort of public statement.

The same was said of Mountbatten

Or ‘Dear uncle Dickie’ to the Windsors

Investigate the whole lot of them
