Overview

  • Aboard Air Force One on November 2, President Trump said he felt "very badly" about what he called a "tragic" situation for the royal family.
  • Rachel Maddow criticized the remarks on November 3, arguing Trump offered empathy to Andrew rather than to Epstein’s victims.
  • King Charles stripped Andrew of his titles last week, and Andrew is entering a drawn‑out process to surrender his Royal Lodge lease before moving to Sandringham.
  • Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir renewed scrutiny with allegations she was forced to have sex with Andrew at 17, claims he denies after settling a civil case for $16 million.
  • Newly disclosed emails show Andrew wrote Epstein in February 2011, "We’ll play again soon," undercutting his 2019 account of having ended the friendship.
