US Congressman Ro Khanna said the infamous Jeffrey Epstein scandal might potentially topple the British monarchy. He added that this is the “most vulnerable” the British monarchy has ever been. Khanna believes that the scandal is no longer about disgraced individuals only and further threatens the entire British establishment.
"This is the most vulnerable the British monarchy has ever been... maybe this will be the end of the monarchy," Khanna said. Pointing directly to Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson, Khanna suggested that the Epstein files were a window into elite impunity.
“The allegations are very serious that he was working for Gordon Brown (former UK Prime Minister) and then feeding information about UK possibly buying Euros and having Epstein trade on them," Khanna said.
He has called it "deeply, deeply troubling."
"And I saw this interview with Epstein's former girlfriend talking about how someone was a loser if they were not mentioned in the Epstein files. It is a window into the elite impunity,” Khanna added.
Khanna said this is the "most vulnerable the British monarchy has ever been."
"I heard they were asking Queen questions about Epstein. They ought to ask King and Queen questions. Maybe this will be the end of the monarchy,” he said.
Moreover, Khanna said King Charles must answer what he knew about Andrew's ties to the matter. He asserted that stripping titles is not enough accountability and added that they should not remain silent.
“If you have allegations of raping a young girl, I don't think the appropriate punishment is that you no longer get to be Prince. There's got to be more than that,” Khanna stated.
Prince William, Princess Catherine Speak Up
The Prince and Princess of Wales said they are "deeply concerned" by the recent revelations concerning Jeffrey Epstein, BBC reported.
The couple remain "focused on the victims" as new information related to the late sex offender came out in the US, a Kensington Palace spokesperson said.
This came after the name of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor came up, further increasing the scrutiny on the former prince.
"I can confirm The Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations," the spokesperson said.
