Trump Weighs In On Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's Fall From Grace

Donald Trump on Air Force One speaking to the mediaDonald Trump has said he feels “very badly” for the Royal Family after the Palace chose to strip Prince Andrew of his titles and royal residence.Andrew – who is now only allowed to use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor – is now a private citizen with no royal status.His dramatic fall from grace stems from his ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the publication of Epstein’s self-described “sex slave” Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoirs earlier this month.The book restated her previous claims that Andrew had sex with her on three separate occasions when she was a teenager, though the former royal denies all accusations of wrongdoing.Reports from the Mail on Sunday also suggested Andrew had remained in contact with Epstein for longer than he had once claimed – including for months after the disgraced financier spent time behind bars for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Trump has faced scrutiny over his own connections to disgraced financier Epstein since returning to office, although he has tried his best to distance himself from the scandal.The president was asked for his reaction to Andrew’s downfall by journalists on Air Force One last night.He replied: “I feel very badly, it’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family.“That’s been a tragic situation and... too bad, I feel badly for the family.”Trump previously insisted he had “no idea” about Epstein’s crimes after the sex offender died in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking minors.Though Trump faces no accusations of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, a birthday message he once sent to the disgraced financier has emerged recently, raising further questions over their friendship.The US president also claimed in 2019 he had never met Andrew, though photos prove otherwise.Meanwhile, pressures is growing for Andrew to give evidence before a US Congressional committee as they investigate Epstein and his associates.Andrew is also set to move from Royal Lodge to the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, which King Charles will privately fund.Related...Trump Is Seriously Unpopular In A Series Of Recent PollsMike Johnson Steps In After Trump Official Tells Americans: 'We Have Failed You'Pre-Election, All-Caps New York Times Headline Goes Viral For Prophetic Warnings About Trump
