The Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein Matter

You will all be aware of the photo of Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein talking as they walk through Central Park in New York. If you don't know it, here it is:

We know Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted sex offender and that he died in jail while awaiting trial. This photo was taken after Epstein was released, so why would Prince Andrew be seen in public talking to this man? It simply beggars belief. Addressing this, I can speculate what I think Prince Andrew was thinking.

Epstein was a clever manipulator, of that there can be no doubt. Rumours persist that his whole operation was a front for a honey trap run by Israeli intelligence. I have no idea whether this intelligence link is true or not, but one obvious question is how Epstein got away with his crimes for so long.

How would Prince Andrew get involved? This is my thinking; Epstein told him he was a key part of a top secret Israeli/CIA/MI6 operation. Being the forgotten brother of a future King, he jumped at the chance to be relevant and got involved. This was a trap of course as once Andrew committed a crime, Epstein effectively owned him.

Then we fast forward to the photo. Still believing the story Epstein had spun, Andrew is taken for a walk through Central Park after being told by Epstein that they couldn't talk inside, the place was bugged (which it was, by Epstein himself). This was to ensure a photo could be taken in public of Epstein with Andrew. More ammunition to use against Andrew if needed.

My version of events explains how this could have happened. Prince Andrew is not the sharpest in the tool box, while Epstein was a master manipulator. This also explains why I think the Queen will never give her son up. Andrew will have said to her that he was working for MI6 or whatever, and hearing this she'd protect her son at all costs.
