Prince Andrew partied with topless women aboard a yacht during a visit to Thailand one Christmas. Photos from these parties, which apparently happened in 2001, were recently unearthed amid the Duke of York's sex scandal.
According to Daily Mail, Prince Andrew was invited to the yacht by his billionaire friend Johan Eliasch. Allegedly, Eliasch also paid for Prince Andrew's hotel stay the opulent Amanpuri Hotel, where skinny young women were pictured massaging the royal.
The report went on to reveal that Prince Andrew's friends, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, joined that very Thailand holiday. Epstein had pending sex trafficking cases in the U.S. court when he committed suicide inside his prison cell in August 2019.
Prince Andrew was pushed to resign from his royal duties recently as pressures surrounding Epstein's case affected him and the royal family. A woman named Virginia Roberts claimed that the Duke of York was also linked to this sex trafficking case because he had intimate relationships with the then-17-year-old girl, who was one of Epstein's women.
Meanwhile, a second victim is reportedly coming out in a few weeks to corroborate the story that Prince Andrew slept with underage women brought to him by Epstein. According to Mirror, this new account will likely be out in January after she is cleared by the legal team representing the other women in the Epstein case.
The news comes as Prince Andrew was recently spotted riding a horse in Windsor just a few days before Christmas. Allegedly, the Duke of York will be present in Sandringham with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the royals as they make their way to church on Christmas Day.
Since resigning from his royal duties, Prince Andrew has been relatively out of the public eye. This Christmas Day celebration, however, might bring on new angles and facets to this never-ending controversy.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has finally spoken up about Prince Andrew's scandal in one of his Christmas messages to the public. Most Reverend Justin Welby said that it's unrealistic to expect that members of the royal family are "superhuman saints" since they can also make mistakes as human being.
Their lives are actually like a life sentence because people hold them to such a high accord because of their status. For the reverend, however, the royal family in general is a gift to the British people for the charitable work they do.
