Summary
Two activists from the anti-monarchy group Republic entered Buckingham Palace during public visiting hours and staged a protest inside the Throne Room. After blending in with other tourists, they unveiled a large image of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with Jeffrey Epstein and displayed a banner asking, “What did you know?” The demonstration was designed to confront the monarchy over its handling of the Epstein scandal and to demand answers about what senior members of the royal family, including King Charles and Prince William, may have known about Andrew’s relationship with Epstein. Republic argued that the royal household has relied on secrecy and institutional protection rather than providing a full account of Andrew’s conduct and the extent of the palace’s knowledge. The group’s chief executive, Graham Smith, said it was implausible that senior royals and palace officials remained unaware of the controversy surrounding Andrew for so many years. The protest comes amid renewed scrutiny of Andrew following damaging disclosures about his communications with Epstein and continuing investigations into alleged misconduct. Buckingham Palace did not immediately comment on the demonstration. to contact me: [email protected] source: Anti-monarchy protesters unfurl Andrew and Epstein banner in Buckingham Palace throne room | Daily Mail Online
