Prince Charles summoned Prince Andrew for a "crisis lunch" in Sandringham after the Duke of York's disastrous interview with BBC about Jeffrey Epstein and his female sex scandal accusers. Now, a royal expert reveals what went down in that meeting between Queen Elizabeth's sons.
According to Russel Myers, Prince Charles was quite furious at his younger brother for dragging the royal family in his controversial association to Epstein. More so, he was also furious that Prince Andrew's scandal was in the front-page news than the charitable work of the royal family, especially Prince Charles.
At the height of Prince Andrew's interview train wreck, Prince Charles was on a 12-day royal visit to three countries. He was also raising awareness on climate change and the progress made so far in the organizations he supported.
Allegedly, the crisis lunch was quite civilized and calm despite people expecting that there will be a showdown or a screaming match between these siblings. Prince Charles reportedly read the riot act to Prince Andrew and informed him that there's not a chance he could be back to performing his royal duties anymore.
Their father, Prince Philip, was also allegedly in that lunch meeting. He advised his third child to accept his punishment, which left Prince Andrew nothing else to do but to abide by the decisions of the senior royals. It's unclear if Prince Philip and Prince Charles would push Prince Andrew to go to the U.S. to talk to the FBI regarding the Epstein case.
