Fresh revelations over Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein leave palace aides ‘exasperated and frustrated’


PALACE aides are “exasperated” and “frustrated” by fresh revelations over Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein.

He faces calls to be stripped of all royal privileges after we revealed yesterday he lied in his 2019 Newsnight interview.

The Duke of York, 65, was already unlikely to be at family events this year.

But insiders admit they lack new “levers” to apply pressure.

An aide said: “There is exasperation and frustration at new revelations and that there is nothing much more that can be done.

“Everything that can be done has been.”

The Duke had insisted on Newsnight he last had contact with Epstein in December 2010 when they were pictured in New York’s Central Park.

But he emailed the convicted paedophile three months later — the day after being pictured with his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre — telling Epstein “we are in this together”.

He was stripped of his military titles in 2022 and the King axed his funding last year.

But he has a “cast-iron” lease to stay in Royal Lodge, Windsor, until 2078.

Campaign group Republic called for a police probe.

Ex-Lib Dem MP Norman Baker said the Royal Family should “publicly disown” the disgraced Duke.


Buckingham Palace did not comment.
