CNN interrupts coverage for Prince Andrew bombshell - 'it's uncharted territory'
CNN anchor Max Foster halted his normal broadcast to deliver a bombshell about Prince Andrew after Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir 'Nobody's Girl' was published
CNN interrupted its live broadcast to drop a massive bombshell regarding the Royal Family.
Anchor Max Foster halted his reporting to break the news that King Charles's brother, Prince Andrew, would be stripped of his royal titles and evicted from Buckingham Palace, in what the correspondent referred to as a "stunning statement."
The shocking move stems from Prince Andrew's affiliation with disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Allegations against the 65-year-old have been brought back into the spotlight after the publication of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir 'Nobody's Girl' on October 21, in which she alleges that Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her as a teenager, which he has denied. It comes as Buckingham Palace issued a statement as Prince Andrew was stripped of all titles by King Charles.
CNN correspondent Richard Quest weighed in on the latest development during the broadcast, saying, "This is absolutely uncharted territory. It's the contagion, the waves are lapping now at the doors of Buckingham Palace."
On Thursday, Buckingham Palace released an official statement from King Charles, indicating that "His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew."
The shocking statement continued, "Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor," and noted that he will be evicted from his residence, Royal Lodge. "Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation." It has been reported that King Charles will be privately funding his move out of the Royal property.
The statement also clarified, "These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him."
While Prince Andrew claims to have never met Virginia, who passed away at the age of 41 in April, she wrote about her experiences with Jefferey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew when she was a teenager in her posthumous memoir.
She alleged that she was coerced into having sex with Prince Andrew three times, including when she was just 17 in 2001, after being trafficked by Epstein. He has not only denied the allegations but also insists that he never met her, despite appearing in a photograph with her and Ghislaine.
Since the memoir was published, protestors have been demanding answers from Prince Andrew and the Royal Family about his affiliation with Epstein. Questions were also raised about his ability to reportedly pay Virginia a multi-million-dollar settlement from a civil lawsuit in 2022 and fund his lavish lifestyle despite not having worked as a royal since 2019.
The official statement released from Buckingham also states, "Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."
