Former Prince Andrew And The OTHER Shooting Party

In late 2021, Prince Andrew’s legal team pinned their hopes on what they called a “secret document” — a 2009 settlement agreement between Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre — to try to have her civil lawsuit against him dismissed. The document, kept sealed for years, revealed that Giuffre had accepted a $500,000 payment from Epstein and had agreed to release “any other person or entity who could have been included as a potential defendant” from liability. Andrew’s lawyers seized on that vague phrasing, arguing that it protected him as one of those unnamed individuals. For a brief moment, it looked like a technicality that might give him an escape hatch.But when the agreement was unsealed in January 2022, it turned out to be far weaker than Andrew had claimed. The contract didn’t name him directly, and the judge ruled that the language was too broad and ambiguous to apply. The “secret document” that his team had touted as a silver bullet quickly turned into another embarrassment, underscoring just how desperate his legal strategy had become. The court rejected his motion to dismiss, allowing the lawsuit to move forward and forcing the prince closer to an eventual settlement. What he thought would save him only served to remind the world that even royalty can’t hide behind vague legal loopholes forever.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

During the civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Prince Andrew, the Duke’s legal team was widely mocked for appearing to scrape the bottom of the barrel in search of credible character witnesses. Instead of producing anyone with real moral weight or first-hand knowledge to vouch for him, Andrew’s defense relied on weak, contradictory claims — including his infamous “I don’t sweat” explanation and statements attempting to discredit Giuffre’s recollection of events. His lawyers even sought broad discovery into Giuffre’s past finances, social life, and mental health, a tactic viewed by many as desperate and irrelevant. The strategy looked less like a robust defense and more like an attempt to sling mud in the absence of evidence or credible allies willing to stand beside him.Observers noted that the Duke’s inability to produce legitimate witnesses spoke volumes about his crumbling credibility and isolation. Instead of respected public figures, his legal team leaned on peripheral associates and technical arguments that only underscored how far he had fallen from royal grace. Even the court pressed for testimony from Giuffre’s husband and psychologist — a clear sign that Andrew’s side had failed to offer anyone of substance. By the time the case was heading toward trial, the optics were catastrophic: a once-powerful prince reduced to scavenging for defenders while the walls of public opinion and legal scrutiny closed in around him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In late May 2022, Justin Welby, then the Church of England’s Archbishop of Canterbury, was asked during an interview about Prince Andrew and the public reaction to him. Welby said that “forgiveness really does matter” and that “we have become a very, very unforgiving society,” adding that there is a “difference between consequences and forgiveness.” He noted that regarding Prince Andrew, “we all have to step back a bit. He’s seeking to make amends and I think that’s a very good thing.” At the same time, he acknowledged that issues of alleged abuse are “intensely personal and private for so many,” which means no one can dictate how others should respond.Following a backlash, Welby’s office clarified that his comments on forgiveness were not intended to apply specifically to Prince Andrew, but rather were a broader comment about the kind of more “open and forgiving society” he hoped for around the time of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The statement emphasised that while consequences remain important, forgiveness is also part of Christian understanding of justice, mercy and reconciliation — but it explicitly did not amount to a call for the public to re-embrace the prince or dismiss accountability.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When Alex Acosta sat before Congress to explain himself, what unfolded was less an act of accountability and more a masterclass in bureaucratic self-preservation. He painted the 2008 Epstein plea deal as a “strategic compromise,” claiming a federal trial might have been too risky because victims were “unreliable” and evidence was “thin.” In reality, federal prosecutors had a mountain of corroborating witness statements, corroborative travel logs, and sworn victim testimony—yet Acosta gave Epstein the deal of the century. The so-called non-prosecution agreement wasn’t justice; it was a backroom surrender, executed in secrecy, without even notifying the victims. When pressed on this, Acosta spun excuses about legal precedent and “jurisdictional confusion,” never once admitting the obvious: his office protected a rich, politically connected predator at the expense of dozens of trafficked girls.Even more damning was Acosta’s insistence that he acted out of pragmatism, not pressure. He denied that anyone “higher up” told him to back off—even though he once told reporters that he’d been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Under oath, he downplayed that statement, twisting it into bureaucratic double-speak. He even claimed the deal achieved “some level of justice” because Epstein registered as a sex offender—a hollow justification that only exposed how insulated from reality he remains. Acosta never showed remorse for the irreparable damage caused by his cowardice. His congressional testimony reeked of moral rot, the same rot that let a billionaire pedophile walk free while survivors were left to pick up the pieces.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Department of Justice’s continued defense of Jeffrey Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement is a national disgrace, the clearest evidence yet that the system was never built to hold the powerful accountable. Alex Acosta, the U.S. Attorney who cut the deal, admitted under oath that he barely knew the facts of the case yet somehow decided it was a “50/50” call — all while relying on advice from Matthew Menchel, a man later revealed to be friendly with Epstein himself. Emails went missing, prosecutors who fought for the victims were ignored, and the entire case was quietly rerouted from Palm Beach to Washington, where the real fix was brokered behind closed doors. Golf course handshakes, backroom whispers, and D.C. connections did more to save Epstein than any courtroom argument ever could, and everyone involved knew exactly what they were doing.That infamous NPA wasn’t a mistake — it was a masterpiece of corruption, the only one of its kind in American legal history, granting immunity not just to Epstein but to everyone who may have trafficked or abused under his umbrella. And years later, the DOJ still has the nerve to say “no laws were broken,” as if that means anything when the law itself was twisted into a shield for the powerful. The Epstein deal wasn’t justice — it was the funeral of it. Every excuse, every shrug, every “it was complicated” from Acosta and his peers only confirms what’s been obvious since day one: the system didn’t fail by accident. It worked exactly as intended — to protect the rich, bury the truth, and leave the victims behind.to conact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew’s decision to host a party for Ghislaine Maxwell at Sandringham—where sex drugs like poppers were reportedly found—reads less like royal history and more like a bad dark comedy. The idea of a Queen’s residence being turned into something resembling a low-rent Sopranos episode is almost surreal. The whole scene feels like parody: the Duke of York, standing beneath portraits of British monarchs, presiding over a soirée that sounds like Downton Abbey crashing headfirst into Trainspotting. It’s especially grotesque given Epstein’s reputation for avoiding drugs himself—he didn’t need them, he used them on others. The thought of those same tools of control and exploitation making their way into a royal estate is equal parts absurd and revolting.What makes it worse is the total lack of accountability. The Palace still tries to frame these scandals as “private matters,” as though international sex trafficking and narcotics at royal residences can be brushed under the Windsor rug. Every new revelation cements Andrew as a man incapable of understanding—or even pretending to care about—the damage he’s done to the Crown’s image. Once considered a symbol of British decorum, Sandringham now sits as a monument to how far the monarchy has fallen, its history tainted by the stench of scandal and the arrogance of a prince who believed himself untouchable. In the end, Prince Andrew didn’t just disgrace himself—he made royal scandal feel like a recurring sketch in a show that refuses to end.to contact me:source:Sex drugs 'found at party' disgraced Andrew hosted for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in Sandringham, new Royal book claims | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When asked about Prince Andrew’s exile from royal life and the Epstein scandal that forced King Charles to strip his brother of his military titles and patronages, Donald Trump struck a tone of sympathy — not for the victims, but for the Windsors. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “I feel very badly. It’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family. That’s been a tragic situation. It’s too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family.” In classic Trump fashion, the comments came off as tone-deaf, framing the ordeal as a misfortune that befell the royals rather than a reckoning for Andrew’s own actions or associations. He offered no mention of Virginia Giuffre, the survivors, or the broader scandal surrounding Epstein’s network — only sorrow for the House of Windsor’s discomfort.The remarks were quickly criticized as another example of Trump’s tendency to sympathize with power over accountability. Rather than condemning Andrew’s behavior or the pattern of privilege that shielded him for years, Trump painted the royals as victims of circumstance — as if Andrew had simply stumbled into bad luck rather than disgrace of his own making. His comments echoed the same populist-elite paradox that defines his persona: railing against “the establishment” while showing deference to its crowned members when they fall. For many observers, the takeaway was clear — once again, Trump’s empathy seemed to extend only upward, toward the powerful, not toward the people whose lives were destroyed by Epstein and the system that protected him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump says he feels 'badly' for royal family over Andrew-Epstein scandalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir.   to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
