Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could be penning a “kiss and tell book” following the latest release of the Epstein files, which saw him relocate from Royal Lodge to Sandringham in the middle of the night.
Former Royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner suggested that any memoir by Andrew would be the “final nail in the coffin for the monarchy.” He said: “There are also constant rumours that Andrew is writing a kiss-and-tell book on the whole affair, which could be, if it materializes, the final nail in the coffin for the monarchy.”
It comes after several uncomfortable images of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor appeared in the Epstein file dump made public shortly before Christmas. Andrew has vehemently denied all wrongdoing and being pictured or named in the files does not equate to criminal wrongdoing.

Whilst several members of the Royal Family have released statements, including Prince William, Princess Kate and Prince Edward, Pelham Turner described them as “circling the wagon” to protect The Firm.
“William and Kate have issued a statement this afternoon, saying their greatest sympathies lie with the victims. Gradually, the Royals are circling the wagons metaphorically with Prince Edward stating he was extremely concerned about the victims too,” Pelham Turner said, reports the Express US.

The department, which covers an area west of London including Mountbatten-Windsor’s previous residence, had earlier stated it was examining allegations that Epstein flew a young woman to Britain for sexual encounters with Andrew, also in 2010.
“The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct,” the palace declared in a statement. “While the specific claims in question are for Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police we stand ready to support them as you would expect. ”.
Pelham Turner added, “I think even more pressure will be put on Andrew to attend a court appearance in America to answer the allegations as his final fall from grace, the British public and the media scent blood now and hiding away at Sandringham will not help either.”

The potential peril facing the Royal family was evident on Monday when Charles visited Lancashire, in northwest England. While the majority of the crowd clapped, cheered and waved flags, one individual shouted, “How long have you known about Andrew?”
“As head of the Royal Family King Charles will be facing a barrage of ongoing criticism which does not bode well for him in U.K. and even worse the upcoming visits to America,” Pelham Turner added.
The Mountbatten-Windsor family’s connections to Epstein have been a thorn in the side of the Royal family for over a decade and it could continue for years to come.
