Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles, is reportedly “petrified” of ever setting foot in the U.S. again. His fears allegedly stem from his ties to the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew Is ‘Petrified’ Right Now
“Prince Andrew is petrified of even thinking of returning to New York,” British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News. “He is very much rooted to his home, Royal Lodge, and isn’t moving any time soon.”
“Gone are the comfy days of feeling self-assured and having yes people circling him,” she continued. “The fresh scandals, accusations, public controversies and negative media surrounding Andrew have led to him feeling very alone. No one wants association with inappropriate Andrew.”
Ouch… what a nickname to have.
Andrew, 64, was long known to be the late great Queen Elizabeth’s favorite of her four children. These days, however, Andrew is “very much on his own,” according to Chard.
“He’s ruminating and fearful that further legal scrutiny over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein will lead to a public, humiliating arrest,” Chard added.
Talk about a fall from grace.
Andrew Has Good Reason To Be ‘Terrified’
This comes amidst fresh calls for the FBI to open a new probe into Epstein, who allegedly committed suicide in 2019 while behind bars awaiting trial on various sex charges.
Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to be FBI director, has vowed to “do everything” to expose Epstein’s accomplices. A lawyer representing the victims recently called on the British government to “turn him (Andrew) over” for questioning.
This has left Andrew, who hasn’t left the U.K. in nearly six years, shaking in his boots.
“He is terrified if he goes to America he could be arrested, face civil action or be subpoenaed,” an insider told The Sun. “He used to be Air Miles Andy but he’ll never risk going to America again.”
“Since the whole thing blew up, he’s only been to Bahrain, where he has friends,” the source revealed. “There hasn’t been a single golf trip to Spain or holiday abroad.”
Lawyer Sounds Off
Indeed, it seems that Andrew has good reason to be nervous. Spencer Kuvin, an American lawyer representing some of Epstein’s alleged victims, has made it clear that he has his sights set on Andrew.
“The British monarchy should be embarrassed,” Kuvin recently said. “He should be fully separated from the monarchy and the public should never be subsidizing someone who has either such bad judgment to be friends with this man or could have been involved with him.”
“The President should require his new FBI director to fully investigate Andrew’s conduct,” Kuvin argued. “The Government should turn him over for that and demand he volunteer himself to be a part of it. The King should do that. Andrew should be held accountable by the monarchy.”
Three years ago, Andrew is known to have paid large sums to Virginia Roberts Giuffre in an out-of-court settlement. Giuffre is an Epstein victim who claims that she was forced to have sex with Andrew multiple times when she was an underage 17 year-old girl. Though Andrew has long denied her claims, he still decided to pay up.
The British royal family has done everything possible to distance themselves from Andrew in recent years. In the end, it appears that this was a wise decision. Only time will tell if Andrew faces any further repercussions for his Epstein ties!
