Prince Andrew’s title & phone number appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book

Last night, ITV aired their documentary, Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile. As we discussed, the biggest revelation seemed to be that Andrew kept “50 to 60” stuffed animals on his bed – as an adult, when he was living in Buckingham Palace – and he would “shout and scream” at the maids if the stuffed animals were not arranged in the right order on his bed.

Just going off secondary coverage of the ITV special, it doesn’t seem like there’s tons of new information beyond that? Former RPO Paul Page believes that Ghislaine and Andrew had an intimate relationship: “from the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace, at will, we realised… suspected, that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew. A colleague of mine remembered her coming in four times in one day from the morning till the evening – she kept coming in and out, in and out…” Andrew was also in Jeffrey Epstein’s “little black book.”

During one clip, the same journalist discovers an entry in the book under ‘Duke of York’, with Buckingham Palace, London, assigned as the address. A number is also supplied, which the journalist proceeds to call.

It goes to voicemail and a message – the voice of which she said “sounds like Andrew” – said: “I’m afraid I have not been quick enough to get to the phone before it went off to take your message. If you do have a message, please leave it and I will get back to you as soon as I can.”

This is not surprising to me, given all of the reporting about Andrew’s relationships with Maxwell and Epstein in recent years. I actually believed Andrew when he said he was closer to Maxwell than Epstein. Clearly, Maxwell was the more “charismatic” one and she enjoyed (gross) enabling and procuring for awful men. But Andrew clearly socialized with Epstein, and they were close enough that Andrew would stay at Epstein’s home in New York. Even after Epstein got out of prison, having taken a plea deal on his many crimes.

Meanwhile, Andrew’s social media has been deactivated:

Prince Andrew’s Twitter account has been deleted and a Government Minister slammed his ‘horrifically ill-advised associations’ as pressure intensified on the Queen’s son one week after she removed his honorary military roles.

Social media users visiting the Duke of York’s official Twitter page @thedukeofyork today were greeted with a message saying ‘this account doesn’t exist – try searching for another’ just hours after it was still live yesterday. The Duke’s Facebook and Instagram accounts – which both have the handle @hrhthedukeofyork – were still live this morning, six days after Andrew lost his titles and gave up his use of the HRH style last Thursday.

However a source close to Andrew told MailOnline today that all of his social media channels had now been removed and were no longer live, but some of them were taking longer to filter through. The source said: ‘The changes have been made to reflect the recent statement from Buckingham Palace regarding The Duke of York.’

I didn’t even realize that he was on Twitter & Instagram, not to mention Facebook. I wonder… if he used those accounts for any personal matters? He might have a finsta? I’m sure Virginia Giuffre’s lawyers will sort through it, in any case.
