Buckingham Palace on Thursday (October 28) announced that Charles had stripped Andrew, 65, of his title of prince and forced him out of his Windsor home, seeking to distance the royal family from him over his links to the Epstein scandal. It was one of the most dramatic moves against a member of the royal family in modern British history.
Trump, a one-time friend of Epstein’s, has faced his own woes related to the disgraced financier’s downfall, with Democrats — and some Republicans — demanding that his administration release government files related to the Epstein case.Read more: Trump says there ‘could be’ US troops on the ground in Nigeria; West African nation rejects threats
While acknowledging he knew Epstein socially years ago, Trump has said he had a falling-out with the disgraced financier long before Epstein’s 2019 death in jail while awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing multiple teenage girls. Hundreds of women have said Epstein abused them.
In September, Democrats in the US House of Representatives made public a birthday note that Trump purportedly wrote to Epstein more than 20 years ago. The letter, whose authenticity the White House denies, includes the line, “May every day be another wonderful secret.”
