British author and royal biographer Andrew Lownie, speaking on The Daily Beast Podcast, criticised King Charles III for his slow response to Prince Andrew’s ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, saying the monarch’s delayed action created a bigger public backlash and heightened calls for royal accountability. Lownie noted that after Andrew’s October “voluntary stepping down” statement omitted any reference to victims, Charles was forced to strip the former prince of his titles and evict him from Windsor Lodge, moving him to a private residence on the Sandringham Estate. Lownie is launching a campaign with former MP Norman Baker to push for greater financial transparency within the monarchy, warning that without swift action the royals will continue to protect themselves. He described Andrew’s current life as isolated and “grim,” with limited family contact and little awareness of the seriousness of the ongoing investigation into alleged sex offenses.
