Ex-Royal Aide Reveals Prince Andrew’s Harsh Nickname by Family Member
A former royal police officer has revealed a harsh nickname attributed to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, amidst growing concerns over his alleged misconduct. The disclosure comes at a time when Thames Valley Police is examining allegations linked to Andrew’s conduct.
Allegations and Concerns
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing, faces renewed scrutiny following public documents released by the United States Department of Justice related to Jeffrey Epstein. Recently, King Charles expressed “profound concern” regarding the claims against his brother.
Cooperation with Investigations
In light of these allegations, Buckingham Palace has stated that full cooperation would be provided should a formal investigation be initiated by the police. Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright confirmed on February 11 that they are leading an assessment of these allegations.
- Review relates specifically to documents from the DOJ’s Epstein files.
- Discussions with specialist Crown Prosecutors are ongoing.
- No specific timelines for a potential criminal investigation have been provided.
Financial Implications of Royal Protection
Dai Davies, a former operational commander for royal protection, has estimated that Andrew’s security throughout his life could have cost taxpayers upwards of £150 million. This figure is attributed to various protective measures that have been in place since his birth.
The Brutal Nickname
Davies described Andrew as a “blabbermouth,” a term also associated with Edward VIII, highlighting a pattern of indiscretion. This has raised concerns about the appropriateness of extending protection to individuals who have not respected the confidentiality of their roles.
Current Status
Andrew has been stripped of his royal titles and patronages, and he faces increasing pressure to respond to his connections with Epstein. He has publicly expressed regret over this relationship but continues to deny any wrongdoing.
As the investigation unfolds, both the public and royal family are awaiting further developments. Thames Valley Police has committed to progressing the assessment swiftly but has refrained from providing additional details at this stage.
Updates from Buckingham Palace and the police will be essential as this situation evolves.
