The scandal surrounding former Prince Andrés does not stop growing. As knowledge of his ties to the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and their common activities grows, the figure of Andrés Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles III of England, becomes increasingly murky. And the criticism has reached the United Kingdom Government very explicitly.
It was the Secretary of State for Commerce, Chris Bryant, who ‘exploded’ in criticism of the former Prince Andrew in the middle of a plenary session in the House of Commons, precisely focused on the figure of the third son of Elizabeth II.
For Bryant, former Prince Andrew is a “rude and arrogant” man, who believes he is “entitled to everything,”
Given the information and the resulting social scandal, the British Executive has confirmed accepting the disclosure of the documents on the appointment of Andrés in the first decade of the 2000s as special trade envoy.
This position would have been used by the former member of the Royal Family to provide Epstein with confidential executive documents, according to official investigations.
Andrew, who was also Duke of York, is “a man in constant search for his own aggrandizement and enrichment” and a person “incapable of distinguishing between the public interest, which he claimed to serve, and his own private interest,” added the ‘Minister’ of Commerce, in what are the harshest words of Keir Starmer’s Government against the king’s brother.
“The minimum” towards the victims
For Bryant, the release of the files “is the least we owe to the victims of the horrific abuses perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein and others, abuses that were enabled, aided and abetted by a very large group of arrogant, entitled and often very wealthy individuals, in this country and elsewhere.”
“It’s not just about the people who participated in the abuse. There are many more who turned a blind eye out of greed, familiarity or deference,” he concluded in a tense session on the figure of the former prince, fallen from grace a long time ago and now on the verge of the bench… or perhaps something worse.
