Protesters ask King ‘what did you know?’ about Andrew and Epstein

Jeffrey Epstein Andrew MountbattenWindsor Republic (Organization)
  • Activists from the anti-monarchy group Republic have staged a protest inside Buckingham Palace , unfurling a banner questioning the royal family's knowledge of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor 's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein .
  • The banner, displayed in the throne room, featured an image of Andrew and Epstein alongside a smaller banner bearing the question “What did you know?”
  • Andrew maintained a decades-long friendship with Epstein, hosting him at royal residences and socialising with him even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for child sex crimes.
  • Graham Smith , Republic's chief executive officer, called for full disclosure from the palace, claiming that King Charles and Prince William would have been briefed on the relationship between Andrew and Epstein.
  • Andrew, who was stripped of his titles in October, was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his relationship with Epstein; he was questioned and released under investigation.
