Prince Andrew Hosted Epstein, Weinstein At Royal Lodge Post-Arrest Warrant

Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Harvey Weinstein at Royal Lodge, his publicly-owned Windsor residence, during his daughter Princess Beatrice's 18th birthday celebrations in 2006, two months after a US arrest warrant was issued for Epstein related to sexual assault charges. The event has drawn renewed scrutiny due to the notorious backgrounds of Epstein, Maxwell, and Weinstein, all of whom were convicted of sexual offenses, and the revelation that Andrew effectively lived rent-free at Royal Lodge for more than 20 years. Epstein was arrested eight days after the event, and Andrew has consistently denied allegations made by Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual misconduct in her posthumous memoir. The Duke of York stepped back from public life and relinquished his royal titles following the renewed attention and controversy surrounding his ties to Epstein. Meanwhile, King Charles was heckled during a public appearance over questions about whether he had asked police to cover up for his brother, though he did not respond to the protester. Discussions are reportedly ongoing about Andrew possibly relocating from Royal Lodge to other royal properties amid the ongoing public controversy.
