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

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

22:58

is journalist and author julie tape around

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
