Episode notes
Emails Undermine Andrew's Public Denials
- Emails released by US Congress show Prince Andrew contacted Jeffrey Epstein after allegations surfaced, contradicting his public denials.
- Lucia Osborne-Crowley says this undermines his 2011 claim that he cut ties in 2010 and raises questions about his truthfulness.
Andrew Allegedly Used Protection Officer Against Accuser
- Emails indicate Prince Andrew asked his close protection officer to investigate Virginia Giuffre after she made allegations.
- Osborne-Crowley highlights this is serious because protection officers are taxpayer-funded and run by police.
Direct Contradiction With 'Categorical' Denial

- Lucia Osborne-Crowley argues this demonstrates at least two clear public lies by Prince Andrew.
