Royal insider issues update as Andrew spotted with bruise | Royal | News

Published by Sam Flores

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sparked alarm after he was spotted with a large purple bruise stretching across the right side of his face near his Sandringham home. The disgraced prince was snapped behind the wheel whilst leaving his new home, Marsh Farm, on the King’s estate on Thursday. The King’s brother is not often seen in public after a security incident on the estate last month. At the time, the disgraced royal had been out walking the late Queen’s corgis near the Sandringham grounds when someone unexpectedly approached him, prompting the scare. It is unclear how the King’s brother obtained the facial mark. In a new update a source close to the former told the Daily Mail that the bruise was not “cause for concern”. They added there had been “no drama” but refused to give further information due to medical confidentiality. Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday back in February and questioned on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was released under investigation after spending more than 12 hours in police custody. The former …

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Investigation Expands to Include Alleged Behavior at Royal Ascot in 2002

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Investigation Expands to Include Alleged Behavior at Royal Ascot in 2002

Published by Sam Flores

Last year King Charles III stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his official titles, meaning that he could no longer consider himself a prince. The move was the most severe consequence the king could impose without the involvement of parliament—but it didn’t end public outcry about Mountbatten-Windsor’s presence in the Epstein files, particularly after he made another appearance in a cache released this past winter. In February, following his appearance in the Epstein files, Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in connection with an investigation into suspicion of misconduct in public office. (Mountbatten-Windsor has previously denied any wrongdoing, and he has not been charged with a crime.) Now the inquiry into Mountbatten-Windsor seems to be widening. According to The Times, police are currently looking into allegations outside of the ones related to the former prince’s inclusion in the Epstein files, including an accusation that Mountbatten-Windsor “behaved inappropriately” toward a waitress at the Royal Ascot horse racing event in 2002. Following his arrest, Mountbatten-Windsor was interviewed under caution by police on suspicion of misconduct in public office and released after 11 …

Former CEO of Barclays, Jes Staley, arrives at the High Court in London, United Kingdom, on March 14, 2025. Staley is challenging his ban from the UK finance sector over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Tayfun Salci | Anadolu | Getty Images Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan Chase executive and ex-Barclays CEO, has agreed to be interviewed on about his relationship with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on July 23 by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, a spokesman for the panel confirmed Sunday. The Financial Times first reported that Staley accepted the invitation for a voluntary transcribed interview extended to him three weeks ago by Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. The Oversight panel has been conducting a series of interviews with high-profile people about Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi was interviewed by the committee on Friday about the Department of Justice’s handling of the release of its files about Epstein. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is …

Ex-Trump attorney general defends Epstein files release

Ex-Trump attorney general defends Epstein files release

Published by Sam Flores

Bondi became a central figure in the Epstein saga after saying last year that the late sex offender’s so-called client list was on her desk for review. The Justice Department and FBI later said there was no such list and no plans to release further information. In her prepared statement, Bondi said she did not personally lead every part of the review and had delegated oversight to then-deputy attorney general Todd Blanche, now acting attorney general. The Epstein Files Transparency Act required the Justice Department to remove names and identifying information of victims before releasing records, but barred officials from shielding powerful figures mentioned in the files merely because of embarrassment. “NO MORE LIES” Critics say the department failed on both fronts: it released names and photos of victims who had not previously been publicly identified, while continuing to redact other information that lawmakers argue should have been disclosed. Bondi expressed sympathy for Epstein’s victims, saying she was “deeply sorry” for what they had endured “as a result of that monster.” But survivors gathered outside …

Citing Epstein Ties, Wexner Union Calls for Art Center be Renamed

Citing Epstein Ties, Wexner Union Calls for Art Center be Renamed

Published by Jenni Sidey

Members of the Wexner Center for the Arts union have called on university leadership to rename the institution, citing Leslie Wexner’s documented ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner Workers United announced on social media yesterday that it had sent a formal letter to Ohio State University president, provost, and board of trustees demanding that they remove the Wexner name from the building’s facade and begin the process of renaming the Wexner Center for the Arts. Related Articles “As a contemporary arts center showcasing and commissioning the work of our present time, we are inherently entwined with the relevant and urgent events of today,” the letter reads. “Jeffrey Epstein’s orchestration of a high-profile sex-trafficking operation has long been established, and Les Wexner’s name appears more than 1,300 times in the Department of Justice’s Epstein files.” In the letter—posted in full on Instagram—the union argues that Wexner’s connection to Epstein meets the university’s criteria for requesting a building name change, citing “substantial evidence of misconduct or other inappropriate behavior by the individual or entity.” Furthermore, …

Catherine, Princess of Wales ‘was first senior royal to completely distance herself from former Prince Andrew’

Catherine, Princess of Wales ‘was first senior royal to completely distance herself from former Prince Andrew’

Published by Sam Flores

Catherine, Princess of Wales is said to have been the first senior royal to completely distance herself from the former Prince Andrew. As the fallout from the disgraced ex-duke’s association with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein deepened inside the monarchy, the future queen totally stepped away from her husband’s uncle, according to royal author Christopher Andersen. Catherine, 44, is said to have refused to engage with Andrew, 66, during family gatherings and holidays as concern grew over the reputational damage surrounding the disgraced duke. The claims were made by Andersen during an interview with Page Six while promoting his latest royal book, Kate! The Courage, Grace, and Power of the Woman Who Will be Queen. Christopher said: “She is the first royal to cut (Andrew) off, to turn her back on him.” The royal author also claimed Catherine prevented Andrew from attending her annual Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey. Christopher added: “He asked, through intermediaries, if he could slip in a side door.” According to Christopher, the response was direct. He said: “Nope, we don’t want your …

Was Jeffrey Epstein’s Copy of a Modernist Painting Sold on eBay?

Was Jeffrey Epstein’s Copy of a Modernist Painting Sold on eBay?

Published by José Betancourt

An eBay seller claimed to have Jeffrey Epstein‘s reproduction of a painting by Kees van Dongen, a Dutch painter who became a part of the Fauvist movement in France during the early 20th century. The work in question, it should be noted, was not a bona fide van Dongen. It was a print based on a ca. 1905 painting called Femme Fatale, which sold at Christie’s in 2004 for $5.94 million. At the time, Christie’s touted the work for demonstrating “in uncompromising fashion the artist’s penchant for exploiting shock value, here taken to an unprecedented extreme.” The painting depicts a green-faced woman with one breast spilling out from her shirt. Related Articles Epstein owned a giclée print of the van Dongen painting and hung it above his desk in his Upper East Side townhouse. And while this may not be a true van Dongen, Epstein appears to have held a fascination with the artist. A set of files related to the convicted sex offender by the Justice Department earlier this year include a document related …

A Library Dedicated Solely to the Epstein Files Is Opening in New York

A Library Dedicated Solely to the Epstein Files Is Opening in New York

Published by skeptic

I’m looking at Volume 1,536 of the Epstein files, page 311. It’s an early 2016 email thread between Jeffrey Epstein and a woman whose name is redacted by the Department of Justice. In the thread, Epstein asks the unidentified woman for a “naughty selfie” and later sends her a camera. In late February, he replies with a different ask: “Do you have any friends that might want to work for me?…I will give you money if you find someone willing to travel, 22-25, educated. Personable.” The exchange carries extra resonance when you consider that Epstein is accused of sex trafficking minors, with the Department of Justice estimating that he had more than 1,200 potential victims. But I just happen to flip to it randomly during my recent visit to the newly opened Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room.
