IN the new batch of legal documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal released in early January, Prince Andrew, the late sex offender’s admitted buddy, is among the high-profile figures named in the bombshell court papers. One accuser testified in detail about a 2001 incident in which Andrew groped her breasts at Epstein’s NYC apartment. Another claimed to have seen sex tapes in which Andrew, among others, appear. Despite recanting her allegation after testifying, Sarah Ransome doubled down on Good Morning Britain Jan. 9. “There are videos that exist and the people that know they exist,” she said. “I’m sure they’re very frightened of them being released.”
For the disgraced Duke of York, the new revelations are indeed worrying. Andrew and Buckingham Palace previously denied all allegations of sexual misconduct. But in early 2022, Andrew settled a civil suit filed by Virginia Giuffre, who accused the 63-year-old of sexually assaulting her when she was a teen. Now an insider tells Star the alleged sex tapes are the final straw — and that King Charles III is under pressure to disown his brother. “Charles is feeling more pressure than ever to eject Andrew,” says the source. “And remove him from the line of succession.”
Andrew’s military titles were already stripped and he was relieved of royal duties in 2022 over his involvement with Epstein, a convicted pedophile and sex trafficker who committed suicide in prison in 2019. But he continues to live on royal grounds and even took part in the family’s annual Christmas Day walk with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their two children, Princess Beatrice, 35, and Princess Eugenie, 33.
