Andrew Lowney

I have countless stories in my book entitled and in my research of people going and complaining to the palace, to the Queen's private secretary and being sent away with a flea in the ear.

And these are intelligence officials, the heads of the foreign office and others.

So I do think this scandal is getting very close to the crown and it may well lead to a second abdication.

It depends what he knew and what he did.

I think his position is very dangerous.

Clearly, they didn't expect the Epstein material to be released.

They're kind of paddling furiously now to see what they can say.

So, no, I think as more and more evidence comes out, and I suspect it will, implicating other members of the royal household, I mean, they will say perhaps that King Charles didn't see it.

It went to private secretaries.

The Queen dealt with it.

But he was, in effect, co-ruling with the Queen for the last few years of her reign.

He's been the King for the last few years.

This is a problem that goes way back.

And Andrew was basically an accident waiting to happen.

So I think it's going to be very difficult to keep his hands clean.

I mean, the wagons are circling.

I think it's looking very dangerous for him.
