Europe correspondent David Crowe has been closely covering the fall, and further fall, of the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, and in his analysis, he details how Andrew has “brought disgrace on himself and shame on the royal family”.
“The claims against Andrew, based on documents that only emerged in the last three weeks, now go well beyond the longstanding concerns about his private life,” Crowe writes.
“They are about integrity in public office – and whether he betrayed the trust of the British public.”
Crowe continues that Andrew’s silence in response to the latest Epstein files will now be “impossible to sustain”.
“At heart, this is a damning claim against a member of the royal family, and it should require Andrew to answer the claims in public,” he writes.
