Prince Andrew's name appears on the flight manifest for Epstein's Lolita Express according to further documents released today.
Come on King Charles, sort this out.

What exactly is the King supposed to do? Andrew is not a working Royal. He does not receive any tax payers money and he has been stripped of all his military affiliations. He is the son of a monarch so is a Prince. He is the brother of the King. So, what should the King do?

Allira Fri 26-Sept-25 22:24:03

King Charles is not his brother's keeper.
Andrew is 65, not 5.

JenniferEccles Fri 26-Sept-25 22:40:02

Kicking him and his grasping ex-wife out of Royal Lodge would be a good start.

Ziplok Fri 26-Sept-25 22:41:03

What would you like King Charles to do, exactly Sarnia? As previous posters say, he is not his brother’s keeper. He is not responsible for his siblings behaviour and he has already made it apparent that Andrew can no longer be a working royal. Other than that, he can’t really do anything - he’s not Henry V111, after all!

Well, yes, that could be done, I suppose.

Andrew has a lease until 2078, by which time he will be 118 and Sarah 119.

In itself, appearing on a flight log at a time it is known he was involved is not a stunning new revelation is it, as we already knew Andrew visited Epstein’s home? The revelation to me was that Elon Musk was also a visitor.

Anniebach Fri 26-Sept-25 22:52:49

There is no more Charles can do, Andrew is living in Royal Lodge legally , perhaps this will change if he cannot now pay
for upkeep of the house now Sarah isn’t making vast sums of money, unless she climbs back up yet again

I think the proposed move to Frogmore Cottage should go ahead. It was reported that Andrew did not consider it grand enough but with the York's spendthrift ways and the very real prospect of his ex-wife not being in demand for lucrative events, cutting their coat to suit their cloth would be a good idea.
Both of them should fade into the background.

It is pathetic to watch Fergie still living a grand life even though she has no rights to anything. Did she inherit money from someone? I understand she accepted large sums of money from Jeffrey Epstein. People just don’t give you money without expecting something in return. It looks like she is a grifter having taken money from others looking to access the royal family. The fact that she is still a part of this family is awful and if she is not humiliated by what it looks like, maybe it is time for Charles to set some rules about who can live in that large house. Who is paying for the upkeep or security’s. By the way, it is pretty strange that Fergie knew of Andrew’s involvement with Epstein and she also had am involvement with Epstein. Surely, there is something is their relationship that is just not right??? Look deeper and see what you can find.

merlotgran Fri 26-Sept-25 23:26:27

Cutting the cloth to suit their coat is not something they could even begin to understand. Their belief is that if the privileges that surround you aren’t enough you abuse them as well as the dodgy people who are self serving enough to involve themselves in your greedy, grasping life.

Nobody comes out of it well and nobody deserves to.

Rosie51 Sat 27-Sept-25 00:04:53

How many of us GNetters would be prepared to be held responsible for any wayward siblings? For goodness' sake leave the rest of the family out of this. Andrew and Sarah are finished, redundant.......does your craving for blood and revenge really go that far?

Anniebach Sat 27-Sept-25 04:24:43

Fact, Andrew pays for his own security, The King stopped him receiving public funding in 2022 and until 2024 The King paid for his brother’s security, 2024 The King stopped paying leaving Andrew to pay for his own security

TerriBull Sat 27-Sept-25 06:58:27

I'm wondering if the King has a large vat of Malmsy he could put to good use? that did seem to work well for Edward 1V. Otherwise how does a king these days deal with a wayward brother.

eazybee Sat 27-Sept-25 10:00:17

How unpleasant.
They don't receive any public or royal money, and although Andrew may have a lease on Royal Lodge they cannot afford the upkeep and will have to face moving out sometime soon. They have destroyed their public profile through their own stupidity and have nothing left to offer.
I really do not want to know any details of their relationship, and I am tired of the unpleasant drip feed coming from the U.S. in an attempt to divert attention away from notorious American public figures who availed themselves of Epstein's services.

These people could do so much good. Quietly and without fuss they could use their wealth to really make a difference.
Instead of which their greed runs riot.

Those of us on pensions know, you can be OK on a smallish amount of money.

mum2three Sat 27-Sept-25 10:08:19

What a vindictive lot you sound. Have you all forgotten Prince Andrew in his youth? Handsome, rich and famous. No wonder girls were willing to prostitute themselves in order to be part of his life.
As for Sarah, she was never whiter than white. Everyone knew that right from the start. She's a fun-loving person, which is a big part of why Andrew liked her.
The late queen never put a foot wrong, unlike her sister. The royals are human and can't be expected to live perfect lives.

Or they could earn a few pounds giving talks at functions, parties or u3a meetings 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure Andrew would have benefited greatly from the late Queen's Will. (Favourite son).
He will have enough funds to live quite nicely with or without Fergie .

GrannyGravy13 Sat 27-Sept-25 11:09:36

He was on a plane owned by Epstein, so were many other far more influential figures.

I am far more interested in the redacted names.

So am I . We know Andrew and Sarah lived a life most of us would consider, well, tacky. They’re unpopular and no doubt anxious about how to continue to live extravagantly without public criticism

The names on the list are eye popping, well the ones I’ve seen are.

Surely no one can dismiss the fact that sex offenders find each other and build empires, even if only in one school eg.

"Tonight we have Prince Andrew telling us how much money you have to have to get away with child trafficking and sex abuse". Nice.

I’d place a bet on Bill Clyntons name being on the list.
