The US did not warn London about mentions of ex-Prince Andrew in Epstein's files

The United States did not inform the British royal family in advance about the availability of materials about King Charles III's brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was later stripped of the title of prince, in a recently published batch of files on the case of notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein. This was reported by The Times newspaper.

"What he (Andrew. — Ed.) was so badly shamed in Epstein's files, it was also something of a surprise for the courtiers. Despite the close contact established between the White House and Buckingham Palace, no one from the United States reported on the contents of the latest publications of the United States Department of Justice," RIA Novosti quoted the newspaper as saying

The newspaper also reports that Andrew lied about the length of his relationship with Epstein, not only to the public, but also to his family, who accepted his version of events out of loyalty and faced problems because of this.

The accused is superfluous: Charles III announced plans to deprive Prince Andrew's brother of titles

He will also be evicted from the royal residence.

On February 21, Sky News reported that the British government intends to exclude ex-Prince Andrew from the line of succession. However, in order to approve such a decision, it is necessary to consult with other States that are members of the Commonwealth of Nations.

In addition, on February 20, it was reported that more than 80% of UK residents consider it necessary to exclude Prince Andrew from the line of succession after the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
