Andrew’s Weekend Parties With Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell Left Staff ‘Appalled’: Report
Royal author Robert Jobson claimed Palace staff were traumatized to clean up after Andrew's substance-filled gatherings at Sandringham.
For years, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor avoided accountability, seemingly untouchable and above the fray, shielded by wealth and privilege. However, he underestimated public scrutiny and mounting pressure following the release of the Epstein files, which curtailed his days of glory, reducing him from a royal to a commoner. Now, royal author Robert Jobson sheds fresh light on his alleged conduct with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, claiming staff were traumatized to clean up after their substance-filled gatherings at Sandringham.
Jobson revealed on the Daily Beast's The Royalist Podcast that Mountbatten-Windsor's parties, which he often disguised as 'straightforward shooting weekends' with Epstein and Maxwell, were no treat to the eyes. He said, "I was told by the source that actually they were appalled at having to clear up all these things that were distributed amongst the guests." He added, "They included s--, d---- like p------, and c------, and l---, and all this sort of stuff, which wasn't really the sort of thing they expect to be dealing with—the Palace staff—two weeks before all the royals descended on them for Christmas when the Queen would be turning up."
To make matters worse, Jobson argued that the illicit substances weren't the tip of the iceberg in those supposed shooting weekends. He stressed, "It later transpired that, actually, they were like party bags...We can only presume the host is Andrew—because he was there at his mother's house—to give to all the guests. So this was a little surprise when they arrived." The late Queen Elizabeth reportedly began the tradition of the family spending Christmas holidays at Sandringham. That didn't seem to faze the former prince, who Jobson said allegedly continued partying there just days before his mother was set to arrive.
And on the topic of his alleged escapades in Sandringham, the royal expert touched upon Mountbatten-Windsor's infamous photo lying across a pool of women while Maxwell smiled in the background. He sneered, "We can only presume, I suppose, Epstein taking the picture." Expressing his sympathies for the Queen, he continued, "Can you imagine what the late Queen would have thought? I'm not sure that she would have been overly impressed." Surely, she wasn't impressed, as she stripped her 'favorite son' of his royal privileges in 2022 after more scandalous revelations came to light.
If the Queen were alive, seeing her son misuse their beloved home would've surely broken her heart. Regardless, sources have suggested that she always found it difficult to completely axe Mountbatten-Windsor, reportedly viewing him as the most 'vulnerable' of her children. Yet they stressed that she died exasperated by his repeated troubles in relation to Epstein. After King Charles removed Mountbatten-Windsor's titles, he was ordered to vacate Royal Lodge by 2026. In contrast, the Queen had only revoked his royal patronages, allowing the former Duke of York to continue attending family events, guffawing as if nothing had ever happened.
