how prince andrew of keen on
3:36
the rocks the monitor
3:44
foundries entanglements with jeffrey
3:46
epstein have brought them on a t to
3:48
one of it's lowest points but
3:50
to understand how we can even see
3:53
as moment like this as with all
3:55
family stories you have to go
3:57
back to the beginning this
3:59
may come as a
4:00
to some that decades the for prince andrew
4:02
was making headlines for the very worst
4:04
reasons he was making headlines
4:06
for what many consider the right ones when
4:09
was a helicopter pilot for
4:10
the royal navy and saw active service
4:12
during the falklands war here's an interview he
4:14
did with bbc and nineteen eighty two the
4:16
only other time i really feel frightened is
4:19
, we are invited to put on
4:21
our anti flash which received would wary
4:23
the whites are ya author and
4:25
for on your as a flash and then invited
4:27
to lie on the back back
4:30
ship because one of missiles the
4:34
whiplashes substitute would probably break
4:36
probably few birds thrown off supporters anyway
4:39
the
4:39
falklands war with a short spurts
4:42
consequential fight between argentina
4:44
and person over the sovereignty
4:46
of the falkland islands and
4:49
even though the seventy four day conflicts happened
4:51
of the taste of argentina it
4:53
rallied person behind common
4:55
cause and along with it came
4:57
an outpouring of patriotism
4:59
recently on the womb and when prince
5:02
andrew came home he was at the peak
5:04
of his popularity he was very
5:07
much hailed as a war hero
5:09
in the nineteen eighties prince andrew was one of
5:11
the main characters of the royal story
5:13
ends with often in the pages of the tabloids
5:16
and it's public appearances girl screamed
5:18
and in one k
5:19
may have even fainted it was actually
5:21
compared to beatlemania
5:23
he was the hero prince he came
5:25
back from war with a rose clenched between
5:28
his teeth he was very good looking
5:30
enough that if elazar yes many of
5:32
his release ships were soda so the
5:34
tabloids but the click seem
5:36
to accept his playboy lifestyle
5:38
he was even given the tongue and seat nicknames
5:40
randy andy by the press
5:43
his journalists and that with rates for forcing
5:45
the when was
5:46
print he , serving
5:48
in the military and me
5:50
undies in those
5:54
strange that sounds now for brief time
5:56
prince andrew was kind the poster boy for the
5:58
monarchy
6:00
and in this way he was really different from
6:02
siblings and didn't really care
6:04
for the limelight edward was the youngest
6:06
and lives rather quiet life to and
6:08
prince charles had a fairly difficult relationship
6:10
with the media us often coming across
6:13
as formal and stodgy another
6:15
thing that made andrew different particularly
6:17
from his older siblings charles and and
6:19
is that he had a thaw sleep different
6:21
south it for starters prince
6:23
andrew was born in nineteen sixty more than
6:25
ten years after his older siblings
6:34
though news from buckingham palace the
6:36
birth of his royal highness the baby
6:38
prince honoring the first child
6:40
born celebrities raining sovereign for over one
6:42
hundred years a royal salute is far
6:45
denied box which
6:48
about his earlier in series that it's important
6:51
to remember that the queen had thousand
6:53
and just before her accession to
6:55
the throne so at the same
6:57
time she was learning to be a mother she
6:59
was also learning to be head of state
7:02
when she gave us and you and later edward
7:05
she'd already grown into her role as clean
7:07
and to be much more relaxed
7:09
with a younger children doreen
7:11
andrew luck
7:11
the think queen was better with
7:14
andrew edward then she was chosen
7:16
and she was busy with the know
7:18
that being a monique and
7:20
i think there was was of that
7:22
generation to that sometimes you had
7:24
to toughen them up in order to face the world
7:26
you couldn't indulge them
7:28
hi i'm andrew said he boisterous
7:30
and mischievous he wants sprinkled
7:33
itching the
7:34
older into the queen's bad it
7:36
another time he could don't you never
7:38
use of buckingham palace to fiddle with
7:40
the tv antenna so that the queen wouldn't
7:43
be able to watch one of her horse races
7:45
but somehow he always seemed to be forgiven
7:48
looking back it definitely mcnair the pattern
7:50
emerging were andrew a stir
7:52
them hot marpol prank and
7:55
maybe he didn't like scolding but it
7:57
doesn't seem like he faced any real consequences
7:59
for them action
8:01
i think that kind of indulgence really could
8:03
produce an hour in some sense
8:05
of entitlement and it did with
8:07
friends and truths and that followed him
8:09
throughout his life journalists
8:11
tina brown didn't mince words when she's
8:13
both us and his parents or any of this year
8:16
in an interview with margaret he the on
8:18
pts his firing line she's a
8:20
person the small intellect and major
8:22
status so that's a bad
8:24
combination and she
8:26
was always you know an oath frankly
8:29
ah treated his staff poorly
8:32
as true his weight around pittsfield
8:35
such a stark contrast from his parents
8:37
who were always bound together by
8:39
a sense of duty but
8:41
sadly aside from serving in the military
8:43
prince andreas and cities he has seen
8:47
mostly absence i mean even
8:49
in the military his attitude was called
8:51
into question
8:53
there is an anecdote and nigel hawthorns twenty
8:55
twenty bucks prince andrew fc maxwell
8:57
and palace where he recounts andrew
9:00
his first tour of duty he
9:02
was stationed was stationed aircraft carrier and
9:04
when introduced to captain to yell
9:06
given the setting clearly outlined
9:08
andrew he said casually hi
9:11
i'm prince andrew but you can call me andrew
9:14
the the captain replied and you
9:16
can call me sir
9:18
aaron i think that was one of the few people he
9:20
dared to put prince andrew in his face
9:22
but i think his arrogance was also
9:25
complicated by the fact that despite
9:27
whatever he thought he deserved he
9:29
was always going to be lower in
9:31
the pecking order vanity fair
9:33
contributor michelle really then
9:36
a notorious kind of spare problem
9:39
in the british monarchy you know
9:41
we saw is margaret we kind of see it
9:43
bit with prince harry to where if
9:45
you are and the direct heir
9:47
you're a little bit lost within
9:49
the system you're still technically
9:52
considered kind of important but
9:54
not important as the air both
9:56
younger sons andrew and hurry join
9:58
the military which is
10:00
traditional career path the royals given
10:02
the monique his head the armed forces in
10:04
fact harry decided he wanted to
10:06
be helicopter pilot after hearing his
10:08
and landry stories about flying the falklands
10:11
war and the military role
10:13
suited them both a spare
10:16
military service with meaningful role
10:18
because it was about serving the queen and country
10:21
andrew lanny again the whole presentation
10:23
of a very strong family units
10:26
working the interests of country about
10:28
their own personal interests been very much
10:31
the trope and that really the changes
10:33
com when that public duties challenge
10:38
apartments war the playboy prince
10:41
was still rumored have string of girlfriends
10:43
that all changed the royal ascot races and
10:45
nineteen eighty size andrew reconnected
10:48
they refer is and you might know her
10:50
as fergie she would a childhood
10:52
friend of the same
10:54
and at the time for your father was told his
10:56
polo manager she grew up in
10:58
the aristocracy and seem like a pretty good match
11:00
for the prince when they announced their
11:02
engagement in march nineteen eighty six figure
11:04
news had this to say
11:06
i hope not to see why they like sarah
11:08
ferguson because she when she comes to have field
11:10
have dinner with them she brings them sort gossett
11:13
news who saw the business he is
11:15
is still have age get night clubs will say
11:17
tells us for dinner party chat and it and
11:19
isn't royal tacit sort profit
11:21
sashayed met on the street gothic and
11:23
it's what's going on in clapham and
11:25
what's going on in full him and thing
11:27
a few months later following a whirlwind
11:29
romance prince andrew and saggy
11:32
were married westminster abbey and
11:34
on their wedding day the couple were given the titles
11:36
of the in duchess of york city
11:38
of york is the title of great significance
11:41
the give it was held by both the cleans father
11:43
george and her grandfather
11:45
george the fifth so it really seemed
11:47
to underscore the fact that the queen
11:49
had a particular have thought that second
11:52
some the
11:53
started with seemingly auspicious beginnings
11:56
they were often seen so in public displays of affection
11:58
and they went on have daughter beatrice
12:01
and use knee and and want
12:03
to the math for his girls to make sure that they were
12:05
given all of the rights and privileges
12:07
of being full princesses as
12:09
granddaughters of the queen they
12:11
seemed in many ways to be exactly
12:13
the kind of family image the monarchy wanted
12:15
to put forward and they up the great price
12:18
going back to moment before their wedding andrew
12:21
and fergie actually sat down for interview with i
12:23
tn and spoke that the strength of their relations
12:25
that relative anyway i
12:28
went to great effect the sit in the last
12:31
nine months we discover that were very well together
12:33
and a good friends good team says
12:38
for short years later their marriage
12:40
began to a road andrea
12:42
naval d he's often sikkim overseas
12:44
and away from his family said
12:46
he once said that they then spent forty days
12:48
together each year in the first five
12:50
years of their merits and when andrew
12:53
was home he reportedly devoted most
12:55
of his energy supplies though
12:57
i'm not spending enough time together
12:59
andrew and fergie were also under financial
13:02
strain of course a strain
13:04
i don't mean that they didn't have any money
13:07
it was more strain they can come from comparison
13:09
because almost no matter how rich you are
13:12
there is always someone richer for
13:14
andrew unfairly that somebody with his big
13:16
brother charles and his wife diana
13:19
according to sally battle sister forcing
13:21
in her book diana in search of herself
13:24
andrew and he drew a modest salary
13:26
from the royal navy about thirty five
13:29
thousand pounds a year so he
13:31
and thirty were largely financially
13:33
dependent on the bank of mum and dad
13:36
charles and diana however and
13:38
millions of pounds a year from duchy
13:40
of cornwall and charles is investment
13:42
that we closed palace officials about
13:45
fergie
13:46
there are should have lived the life of a naval
13:48
officers wife and dorset made home
13:50
there and done few things but instead
13:53
she wanted to emulate diana and she
13:55
spent like dan to without
13:57
the money so she did would anyone
13:59
would she went into debt then
14:02
they split and they say any to
14:04
five months later rumors of for he's infidelities
14:06
had bulldoze to the tabloids photos
14:09
are published the duchess topless and st
14:11
tropez apparently getting her toes
14:13
sox by her supposed financial advisor
14:15
yes and on morning that those photographs
14:18
were published saggy was actually
14:20
staying at balmoral with the royal
14:22
family so talk about
14:24
an awkward family breakfast that morning
14:26
with those pictures published on the front
14:28
page of daily mirror the
14:30
legend is that prince philip was furious
14:33
and vowed never to talk society again
14:35
and he refused allow her back balmoral
14:37
some many years the welfare
14:40
had the credentials on paper she
14:43
was unseated to the role of royal wife
14:45
she found it lonely and isolating
14:48
just like diana andrew
14:50
lansley again
14:51
think andrew marine fergie was
14:53
disaster but he was very
14:55
different from the other children and
14:58
she was awful someone who knew about caught
15:00
life since feeling was the same would understand
15:02
the constrictions but in of the characters
15:04
would just unsuitable for rules they
15:06
had and save so gonna end in tears
15:09
by nine twenty six prince andrew
15:11
and for he officially divorced those
15:13
she later said that it happened in mainly
15:15
because she wanted to the latin word they
15:18
make it an unusual close relationship
15:20
ever since they kept pope hair and dang
15:22
and living together on and off even after
15:24
their daughters were grown and twenty nineteen
15:26
they sent out a joint christmas card that
15:29
full credit they've managed be very
15:32
happily divorced the york's
15:34
are a very tight and loyal family
15:36
units in fact thirty
15:38
has been one of andrews most loyal supporters
15:41
throughout the entire epstein scandal
15:43
has even been talk of possible
15:45
remarriage now that deeds of edinburgh is no
15:47
longer with us but back in the mid
15:49
nineties the and and
15:52
his marriage as well as charles and diana's
15:54
had ended in fairy public
15:56
divorces the perception of the mauna
15:58
kea was at one it's lowest point and
16:01
people were beginning to question the
16:03
relevance and future of the institutions
16:06
as well as the individuals within it
16:08
this oppose a bit of problem for the duke
16:10
of york here's why
16:13
three things happened all around the same time
16:15
and ninety six he took desk job
16:17
the ministry defence officially bringing his
16:19
days at sea to an end he has
16:21
reportedly quite board and in his own words
16:24
hired and run down and he retired
16:26
from the navy in two thousand and one around
16:28
the same time he was single again
16:30
and back on party scene out night
16:33
clubs a new friends with new money opening
16:35
himself to a whole new set the problem
16:38
he didn't seem to have a plan for future
16:41
with a purpose according to court
16:43
on biography prince andrew same
16:45
the snus and him and ethel from his
16:47
father and of course his finances
16:49
may still have been fraught with no apparent
16:52
new reliable sources of income than
16:54
two thousand and one he became the u
16:56
k's special representative the
16:58
for international trade and investment
17:02
now the british government describes this role
17:04
as promoting uk business internationally
17:07
marketing the uk to potential investors
17:09
and building really ship in support
17:11
of uk this is interests though
17:14
some more skeptical of anders approach
17:16
to the job colluding is glamorous
17:18
globe trotting often on the public tab
17:20
yeah could trade envoy he earned the
17:22
nickname air miles andy for
17:25
all the taxpayer funded slight seats
17:27
hook and somehow he seem
17:29
to be headed to places that will conveniently
17:31
ned both courses or ski resorts
17:33
traveling in seville even
17:35
on official term
17:37
shannon for reporting air miles
17:39
and the and his travels spend have been controversial
17:42
too costly say some for years
17:44
or doing this as it were for
17:46
my own good they're not getting
17:48
any return for this this
17:50
is all done on behalf of
17:52
the uk
17:54
well that's not the full story
17:56
prince andrew with meetings and important
17:58
me this and shakers
18:00
and he made sure he benefited from these
18:02
me working relationships to his
18:04
role as trade envoy became mired
18:06
in controversy as the line between his
18:08
public role and private interests
18:11
became more blurred
18:13
and one of priests andrews most costly
18:16
errors that was seeking out connections and
18:18
forming friendships with people the royals
18:20
should have never been mixed up within the first
18:22
place here seen around
18:24
again on firing line
18:26
the always felt he didn't have enough money
18:28
to live way that he wants to live which
18:30
led him into the that the company of
18:32
people who wanna be around
18:34
rosie inevitably that means that like
18:36
under the unsavory a lot of time
18:38
and they really worry have to one judgment about
18:41
people the
18:42
list of unsavory characters included
18:44
a libyan business men convicted of
18:46
attempting to smuggle a submachine
18:48
gun into france he wants
18:50
reportedly gifted a thirty thousand
18:52
dollar gold and diamond necklace to beatrice
18:54
for twenty first birthday most
18:57
unsavory character of all the one
18:59
who would say years so heavily and prince andrew
19:01
downfall that was

all of this goes back till friendship with

22:24
maxwell and just like epstein
22:27
use wealth and social status
22:29
to connect with important people
22:32
maxwell and prince andrew were
22:34
linked throughout the two thousands they
22:36
reportedly party together at night clubs in new
22:38
york and london and vacationed in
22:40
thailand in the caribbean so
22:42
was enough for epstein he
22:45
seemingly like tell people that royalty was
22:47
around and what going for
22:49
andrew he reportedly got connections
22:51
and cash from epstein
22:54
just purely about power and protecting
22:56
power and money this
22:58
is journalist and author julie tape around
23:01
her you
23:01
year long investigation to epstein in
23:03
which she identified some eighty
23:05
alleged victims and further expose epstein
23:08
pattern of abuse was one the
23:10
main catalyst for his arrest and
23:12
into twenty max author
23:14
you didn't operate in vacuum i
23:16
mean he had a whole eat i'm at people
23:19
and were helping him in a women who were
23:21
scheduling these girls butler's you were
23:23
welcoming them into the kitchen chefs
23:25
who were feeding them little after mean
23:27
snacks as you know so that
23:29
was a lot of people who
23:32
knew what he was doing and helped
23:34
him get away with it which brings
23:36
us back to prince andrew
23:38
the did not been accused trafficking along
23:40
with epstein in maxwell but he was accused
23:42
rape you fray allegedly
23:45
abused spent several different locations
23:47
across the great after epstein maxwell universe
23:50
her london house the new york mansion
23:52
and says private island and
23:56
andrew friendship with epstein was close enough
23:58
to invite him to his daughters eating the
24:00
birthday party at windsor castle in two thousand
24:02
and six after epstein was already
24:04
under investigation
24:06
andrew say that at scenes house in new york
24:09
in two thousand and ten after
24:11
have seen sept thirteen months in prison
24:14
and when given the opportunity to
24:16
show remorse regrets about his friendship
24:18
with that seen andrew still
24:20
seems strangely beholden to
24:22
him you got the whole friendship
24:24
with it
24:27
i'm at now
24:29
dot still not for the reason
24:31
being is that is that the
24:33
people that i met and
24:36
the opportunities that i was given to
24:38
learn either
24:42
by him for the cause
24:44
of him actually very useful
24:48
it would actually the most eye opening
24:50
part of the interview
24:52
it doesn't take particularly accurate
24:54
moral compass to see that those
24:56
opera unity he got from asking where tainted
24:59
the other part of interview she seems so
25:02
dismissive of the allegations that he
25:04
almost scoffed at them julie
25:06
brown again
25:08
one of the biggest take away spell jeffrey
25:10
epstein was that he felt that he was
25:12
above the law so it's
25:14
not really surprising to me that
25:17
those that were around him who had just
25:19
as much power name fallen her
25:22
probably think they're above the law and
25:24
are also think they're gone you essentially
25:26
skate away from there
25:28
the prince andrew didn't skate away in
25:30
fact he kept digging a bigger
25:32
hole for himself during a
25:34
disastrous newsnight interview he
25:36
said things like secret it has been with
25:38
to free on one of the nights and question because he
25:40
was at a pizza express birthday party
25:43
instead many viewers said
25:45
they found his statements defensive strains
25:48
and unpersuasive
25:49
andrews seem to think he'd come off well
25:51
and sources told me that he'd
25:54
set to his mother that the interview that the the
25:56
great success charles and william
25:58
knew how damaging the interview
26:00
had been and they were by this
26:02
stage gravely concerned and
26:05
had recently seekers in august
26:07
two thousand and twenty one two
26:09
free fall the civil case against prince
26:11
andrew in the state of new york prince
26:13
andrew attempted to have you phrase
26:15
sexual abuse lawsuit thrown out
26:17
that in january twenty twenty two a
26:19
federal judge ruled a to go forward the
26:22
following day buckingham palace released
26:24
statement regarding andrews royal
26:26
saddest which read the
26:28
queen's approval in agreement the duke of york
26:31
military affiliations and royal patronage
26:33
as had been returned to the clean the
26:35
duke of york will continue to not undertake
26:37
any public duties and is descending this case
26:39
this as as citizen of course
26:42
that blew us here's global
26:44
news
26:45
replace of move queen elizabeth the second
26:47
has stripped prince andrew of all his honorary
26:49
military title as was his royal
26:51
roles and charity is another civic groups that
26:54
wasn't casting andrew out of family entirely
26:57
but she was essentially expressing
26:59
as much displeasure with
27:00
remember as she ever had in public
27:03
some said the move was too little too late others
27:06
characterize it as brutal and devastating
27:10
either case the decision couldn't have
27:12
been easy for queen know i read knows
27:14
it's all on one those moments where she has
27:16
to be more net and mother
27:18
that for the queen as mother it must have been
27:20
terribly obsessing she'd
27:22
, are sandri frankly about
27:24
those allegations and he to sort
27:26
of more than one occasion that he was innocence
27:29
but the idea of idea see me of broil
27:32
at the center of sexual assault civil
27:34
court case was unimaginable
27:36
and so and settlement must have
27:38
seemed have wise week andrew
27:41
was reported to have paid to play around
27:43
twelve million dollars and he
27:45
agreed to make donation to charity
27:48
though there was no court case that
27:50
andrew was stripped of his titles his
27:53
patronage is and his loyalty cheese
27:55
but he still had the support of queen
27:58
and with by her side of the service thanksgiving
28:00
to the late you that embarrass in march
28:03
they are reportedly claimed that prominent
28:05
spot against the wishes will and
28:07
charles
28:08
but after that display most of us
28:10
are really curious about what might happen at
28:12
the plant them jubilee the palace
28:14
beforehand do pretty clear lion sand
28:17
the balcony with for working members of the family
28:19
and weekend so this would be on them mercifully
28:23
a very conveniences of coven cropped
28:25
up the morning of tripping the color and and
28:27
his participation was non issue
28:30
for the time being and he seems to
28:32
be keeping low profile and is more
28:34
or less for tired those summer still speculating
28:37
that he's planning a return to
28:39
public life andrew
28:41
has made it clear privately behind the scenes
28:44
that he believes this as possible and
28:47
we know that he has in private
28:49
the supported mother but there's a power
28:52
struggle going on here charles
28:54
and william won't have andrew in any
28:56
public role because they know how
28:58
toxic he is to the brand
29:01
and i'm told that when charles is king
29:03
said will be no royal
29:05
role for his brother and william
29:07
shares his father's these it's simply
29:09
can't happen is what robert his
29:11
cell professor of governance and constitution
29:13
at university college london has to
29:15
say there would be a
29:18
lot of public protest and push
29:20
back
29:22
he suit returned public life and
29:24
that perhaps illustrates very important
29:26
lesson about the money keep that
29:28
ultimately they depend on
29:30
the supported the public and
29:33
if for any reason the
29:35
public support is withdrawn then
29:38
demonic he risks getting into real
29:40
trouble
29:41
in some ways angie sex it has had
29:43
its benefits it's fast tracked
29:45
the streamlining of the royal family which has long
29:48
been on charles his agenda and
29:50
, many ways the monarchy has seen
29:53
carrying itself down organic me
29:55
ever since korean vegan less
29:58
so let's saw
30:00
them jubilee the future of monarchy
30:02
well ultimately come down to charles
30:05
he went ahead of it's time for decades and
30:07
he has all these ideas his sons
30:09
experience but never
30:11
really gone put it to the test that will
30:13
have to happen soon next time on
30:15
fan as he says final episode
30:17
of didn't see the winces and
30:19
index look at the prince of wales
30:21
as one chapter the mana quito's
30:24
to close and another begin
30:26
i did charles has actually been very misunderstood
30:29
part of it is you know he has a certain formality
30:32
that i think people mistake pretty sick old
30:34
fashioned but pretty nasty been
30:36
really progressive person
30:39
maybe his him too far ahead
30:41
of his highness people didn't understand him
30:43
i'm on the queen charles is known
30:45
from burris that he would one day be king
30:48
size haven't acknowledged help him and
30:50
how did it hinder him along the way and
30:53
after some very tumultuous years for the palace
30:55
will charles have what it takes to keep monarchy
30:57
afloat
30:58
i think that will be in tent three
31:00
brands but his was charged with
31:02
killing innocent people and he
31:04
was a bit the moderniser the so i think
31:07
they will continue to try and push for the
31:09
road survival the monarchy sickly
31:11
wins as though do anything to survive that's
