Prince William Is Reportedly Looking Into Protection Officers Assigned To Prince Andrew
Back in 2010, Prince Andrew spent over a week at Epstein's seven-story Manhattan townhouse, and he didn't stay alone. According to the latest batch of files released by the US Department of Justice, two protection officers stayed with him. This stay occurred after Epstein was convicted of state charges related to soliciting prostitution from a minor, which occurred in June 2008.
According to the Royal News Channel (@royalnewschannel on Instagram), Prince William is actively trying to identify these two protection officers. Whether he plans to question them about what truly went on in Epstein's 71st Street mansion or prosecute them as individuals remains to be seen.
