Prince Andrew may have been connected with Jeffrey Epstein, but the latter did not hold him in very high regard.
Jeffrey Epstein Viewed Prince Andrew As An Idiot Albeit ‘A Useful One’
Andrew did not do himself any favours with his conduct during and after the sexual assault allegations that were directed against him by Virginia Giuffre.
This was seen when he continued to deny the allegations, including having ever met Virgina, despite a photograph showing the contrary.
In addition, his decision to settle outside of court rather than prove his innocence was deemed to be an admission of guilt by the public.
Although it is clear that Andrew has damaged his reputation, it looks as though Epstein knew that Andrew was not the sharpest tool in the box. Tina Brown, who happens to be a Royal biographer, has written the following in her upcoming book ‘Palace Papers.’
She said: “Privately, Epstein told people that Andrew was an idiot, but – to him – a useful one. A senior royal, even if tainted, is always a potent magnet abroad.”
And these words could not be any truer in light of the following picture. In the image here, we can see that Andrew and Epstein are walking publicly in New York Central Park.
And given that this image had been taken after Epstein had been investigated by the authorities, people began to assume why would Andrew meet with someone of this nature.
Not only that, but Andrew continued to visit Epstein including a visit to his private home. It is not surprising to hear that the public on social media were in full agreement with what Tina’s book had to say.
A large proportion of people could not believe that the Royal family would allow Andrew to behave this way, knowing that his actions would ultimately come back to haunt them which they did. One person wrote: “He always been a sleezebag.”
Despite having avoided jail time, it is really hard to see Andrew being accepted back into the public fold again. So there you have it folks. What did you think about all of this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
