Prince Andrew could be safe from a conviction following Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest.

According to Globe, the evidence that can prove Prince Andrew’s connection to Epstein has been destroyed.

“Despite his repeated denials of Giuffre’s charges, Andrew’s back is against the wall and the monarchy is pulling out all the stops to save Queen Elizabeth’s favorite son. There’s a reason he was forced to resign from public life – his alibi doesn’t seem to stand up,” the source said.

But a former royal protection officer previously claimed that a bad-tempered Duke of York returned to the palace in the early hours of March 11. And he, reportedly, blew his car horn multiple times when no one opened the gates for him.

The former royal protection officer revealed that his story, where he detailed his encounter with Prince Andrew had been destroyed by the Scotland Yard. However, he was also informed that the documents are usually destroyed after two years.

“This is a huge benefit for Andrew. But there is still at least one photo of the prince with Giuffre and Maxwell. He insists it’s a fake – but his involvement with Epstein and Maxwell is very public and some of his servants claim they saw the prince with the girl,” the source said.

The insider also said that the recent arrest of Maxwell has blown off the lid of Prince Andrew’s secret life.

“There’s a very real fear that he’ll go down – and take the monarchy with him,” the source said.

However, one should take the claims made by the tabloid with a grain of salt. Prince Andrew has been adamant at saying that he’s innocent and that he never had any physical contact with Guiffre.

His lawyers previously said that Prince Andrew is more than willing to cooperate with the FBI’s investigations. However, he has not been interviewed in any way.

If Prince Andrew will be convicted, it is also unlikely for him to take the monarchy down. This is the very reason why he decided to take a step back from his royal duties.

Prince Andrew’s misconduct is solely his doing and it cannot reflect negatively on the queen. If the queen is the problem then all her children should’ve engaged in questionable deeds involving minors. However, this isn’t the case.
