Buckingham Palace's greatest fear came true when the FBI arrested
Prince Andrew's friend Jeffrey Epstein on charges of under-age sex
trafficking. Just before the marriage of Kate and Wills, a snapshot
of Andrew with his arm around the naked midriff of the
billionaire's most articulate victim had surfaced. Despite sending
stringent defamation warnings, the palace had been powerless to
prevent headlines on the controversial friendship from moving in
its direction like a hurricane. Prince Andrew: The End of the
Monarchy and Epstein investigates the story of the key players and
allegations and counter-allegations in this unique, high-stakes
royal drama. It provides a gripping and uncommon insight into the
hidden privileges enjoyed by global power brokers, royalty and
billionaires. Transcending the life of one man, it characterises a
whole institution and a way of life - the monarchy as we know it
today. From 2001, Prince Andrew acted as Britain's trade envoy
suddenly enjoying lavish travel and expense accounts of over a 1
million a year. In 2006, a Kazakhstan billionaire bought
Sunninghill Park, the Queen's wedding gift to Andrew and Fergie,
for GBP3 million over the GBP12 million asking price yet never
moved into the property (it was demolished in 2016). Andrew's
official involvement with UK trade came to an abrupt end in 2011
after the prince was overheard discussing Saudi bribery and bribery
in Kyrgyzstan, arguing that 'people should be allowed to get on
with their jobs'. And that was only the beginning as this first
biography reveals.
