King Charles under pressure to act as Epstein links threaten fresh embarrassment
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson may soon face the full weight of King Charles’ authority as new revelations threaten to further damage the monarchy.
The Duke of York, long under scrutiny for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, is now bracing for another setback as leaked emails are expected to surface. According to Closer, more than 100 exchanges between Andrew and Epstein could be released “any day now,” with one source warning they are “embarrassing and incriminating” enough to “destroy” him.
The situation has fuelled calls within the royal circle for decisive action. Insiders suggest that Charles may be forced to impose a formal ban on Andrew’s presence within the royal family. “There’s a mounting sense that King Charles will be compelled to act,” one insider noted, adding that many believe Andrew should no longer be “protected or shielded.”
Though Andrew and Sarah are no longer working royals, their presence at private family events has reportedly caused frustration. Pressure is also growing for the King to remove the pair from Royal Lodge, where they continue to reside despite the controversies.
“The view is that the monarchy has no choice—it’s a matter of preserving the institution,” a source said. “There should be no more slaps on the wrist.”
Charles’ aides are said to be waiting to see the scale of damage once the emails are made public before advising him to act. With public opinion already against Andrew, the looming disclosures could push the monarch to make an example of his brother.
