Welcome back to The Red Letter.
What if the Epstein scandal was never just about sex trafficking?
In my latest interview, royal biographer Andrew Lownie lays out explosive new allegations in the latest addition to his book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York — finally available in paperback in the U.S. after his publisher Simon and Shuster dropped him fearing retribution from President Donald Trump for his explosive reporting on Melania — that the former Prince Andrew may have been drawn into an alleged intelligence-linked kompromat operation involving women, money, espionage, and foreign influence. Lownie cites FBI material, intelligence sources, and newly released Epstein files suggesting Andrew was surrounded for years by Russian and Chinese operatives, while Jeffrey Epstein himself may have functioned as something far more dangerous than a wealthy predator.
We also discuss the strange overlap between the worlds of Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Diddy, and the Royal Family — including sensational new claims about Sarah Ferguson’s relationships, Epstein’s alleged ties to intelligence services, whether Trump and King Charles quietly agreed not to pursue Andrew, the Prince Harry angle and why Lownie does not believe Epstein’s so-called suicide note is authentic.
Watch the full interview above.
