King Charles Under Pressure to Cut Off Ex-Prince Andrew Financially Amid New Royal Scandal (Exclusive)

Sordid new details about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson’s connection to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have plunged the royals into a new round of crisis talks, sources whisper, as King Charles III comes under pressure to stop funding his younger brother entirely.

“There is some relief that Charles acted decisively by stripping the Yorks of their titles,” a source tells the National Enquirer. “But the fact he’s paying for Andrew’s housing is now the next problem to deal with as any morsel of sympathy or willingness to help him adjust to a new life has totally evaporated with these sordid claims.”

On Sunday, January 31, a second woman came forward, alleging that she was sent to the U.K. by Epstein, 66, to have sex with the former Duke of York, 65. “She even had, after a night with Prince Andrew, a tour of Buckingham Palace,” her lawyer Brad Edwards, who represented Virginia Giuffre as well, told the BBC.

The U.S Department of Justice also released another trove of Epstein emails and photos on Tuesday, January 30, including several images that appear to show Andrew — who has long denied any wrongdoing — crouching over an unidentified woman lying face-up on the ground.

Andrew’s ex-wife, 66, found herself back in the headlines, too, after previously declaring via a representative that she was “taken in” by Epstein’s “lies” and denying any wrongdoing.

As the Enquirer previously reported, emails indicate Epstein’s longtime assistant Lesly Groff arranged for Fergie and her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to fly to Miami to have lunch with him just days after he was released from prison and put on house arrest following a guilty plea for solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18.

“I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me infront of my girls,” the former Duchess of York allegedly wrote to Epstein. “Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for.”

There’s no telling what else might emerge.

“Most of the family would agree that at this point Andrew belongs in jail,” says Enquirer’s source, “or at the very least he needs to honor the will of Epstein’s victims and cough up everything he knows or witnessed during those years.”

Instead, “he continues to hide behind his lawyers and sponge whatever he can from [the] royals, complaining he’s being made a scapegoat and there’s no way his mother [Queen Elizabeth II] would allow him to be demonized like this,” the source continues.

It’s all too much for Prince William, adds the source. “He has had some very angry showdowns with his father and continues to bang the drum that there should be zero tolerance or willingness to shield Andrew — or Sarah — from their vile, heinous behavior.”
