King Charles Returns Home to Find Jeffrey Epstein Waiting for Him

[Uncle Joe]

HOME TO ROOST
The royal family’s American triumph could be tarnished by Andrew’s murky past, again.

It now appears that Mandelson and Andrew first met—unbelievably—at a lunch to support the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, a leading U.K. charity that works to protect young people from violence and abuse. The pair were brought together in 1999 at Andrew’s apartment in Buckingham Palace, where they ate plaice in a cream sauce.

It also turns out that both Andrew and Mandelson knew Ghislaine Maxwell independently, and Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s lawyer at the time, is quoted in the piece describing them spending time together on Martha’s Vineyard.

In 2000, Andrew was being lined up to be given the post of U.K. Special Representative for International Trade and Investment by the government in which Mandelson was a powerful figure. Charles was reportedly very concerned about it, regarding it as “a disaster waiting to happen.”

A U.K. security official is quoted as saying the appointment “would never have happened if it weren’t for Mandelson’s advocacy.” So Mandelson, friend of Epstein, is instrumental in Andrew getting the trade envoy gig that gave him cover to gallivant around the globe, often to Epstein’s benefit.
