SH0CKING REVEAL: Lorraine Weighs In On Latest Prince Andrew/Epstein Scandal Emails—Her Reaction Says It All: “It’s Absolutely Disgusting”

Lorraine Kelly has weighed in this morning on the latest developments in the scandal surrounding former Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) and his friend, the disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

On her show Lorraine on ITV1, she called the situation “absolutely disgusting, it really is.”

She said: “We’ve made up our minds who we think and know are the villains in this,” referring to the latest on the story, namely emails revealed by the US House Oversight Committee that show that Andrew’s claims about the notorious 2001 photo of himself with the then-17-year-old Virginia Giuffre – that he either never met her or that the picture “could have been doctored” – are even less credible.

“Yes, she was on my plane,” Epstein told his publicist – as the emails show – “and yes, she had her photo taken with Andrew, as many of my employees have.”

The emails prove also that in 2011, four months after Andrew had claimed to have ended contact with the Epstein and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, he was emailing them complaining that he “can’t take any more of this”, referring to press coverage of their connection. (Which he also claimed “have NOTHIG to do with me”.)

The emails have also further put pressure on US President D0nald T.r.u.m.p, indicating closer contact between the Pr3sid3nt and Epstein than was previously made public. T.r.u.m.p has always denied any impropriety.

Addressing the email from Andrew to Ghislaine Maxwell, Lorraine said: “The email from Andrew saying, ‘I can’t cope with this anymore,’ is the one time we’ve heard him sound like a human being. […] It’s so murky, so murky.”

20,000 pages of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Epstein and his high-profile associates were released this week.

Virginia Giuffre took her own life earlier this year. She maintained that as a teenager she had had sex with the then-Prince Andrew on three occasions, which he strongly denies.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal titles this week.
