Prince Andrew Dismayed as Epstein Scandal Renewed by Maxwell Claims

Prince Andrew is reportedly "dismayed" at having his name dragged back into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, following recent allegations and renewed public focus. Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly mentioned Andrew among "100 men" in a jailhouse meeting with the Department of Justice, though details of her statements remain undisclosed. Andrew has denied meeting Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of rape and settled out of court for a reputed $12 million; she died by suicide earlier this year. Friends say Andrew, who stepped down from royal duties, is trying to live privately at Royal Lodge, focusing on family and personal activities despite the resurfacing controversy. An upcoming book reveals sordid details about Andrew's relationship with Epstein, painting a picture of a lascivious lifestyle that has been widely reported over the years. The situation continues to cause discord from the British royal family to political circles, including comments from President Trump referencing Epstein's activities at Mar-a-Lago.
